I have a 12 team beer olympics schedule to create. 
There are 2 groups A B, 6 teams per group, 5 games total, each team in group A would play eachother same as B in the 5 games. If you could figure out the scheduling that would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

It's not possible to make a schedule like this.  If you consider the games for one team of 6, then they would be a Room square of side n=5.  But as stated on the linked Wikipedia page, the 5x5 square does not exist.
