Hi IAN,

Thanks for the last responses for 10 and 11 Players......


Can you please provide the Groupings or Link with minimum of overlap for the following:

1) 9 Players; 6 Rounds; 1-Fivesome and 1-Foursome


Thanks a lot for the response.

I think the following is about the best that can be done:

(4 9 2 7 5)
(1 3 8 6)

(5 4 6 9 1)
(8 7 3 2)

(2 1 7 8 9)
(6 5 4 3)

(9 8 3 1 4)
(2 5 6 7)

(3 5 4 2 8)
(1 6 9 7)

(6 8 1 5 2)
(7 4 9 3)

However some pairs play together only twice while others play four times.  It is also unbalanced with respect to the group size, player 3 for example only plays twice in fivesome but four times in a foursome.
