I am a school teacher trying to organise a schedule that involves 8 teams playing each other over a time period, but the complication is they play 4 different games. Can somebody please help me do a schedule where each team plays each other team once, and plays each game once. :)

If you follow the schedules link above which should default to the round robin for 8 players, then press the button that says 'balanced'.  If the 4 columns are the four different games then after 7 rounds all teams will have played the other teams exactly once, but each team will have have played each game either once or twice.  

But perhaps you are you looking for a schedule with only 4 rounds?
