It's known that only 5 rounds are possible without repeating pairs of players within foursomes.

There is a solution below for six rounds, where six pairs of players repeat.


( 6 14 13 20) ( 4  5 11 16) (19  2 12  9) (18 15  1  7) (10 17  3  8)
(12  7 10 11) (17  1 14  5) (15  9  6  3) (18  4  2 20) (13 19  8 16)
( 7 10 19 14) ( 2  8  5 15) (20 17  4  9) ( 3 18 11 13) ( 1 16  6 12)
(13  2 10  1) (20 12  5  3) ( 8  4  7  6) (14 11 15 19) ( 9 16 18 17)
( 6  5 18 19) ( 4 10  9 14) ( 8  1 20 11) (12 13 17 15) ( 7  3 16  2)
(14 12  8 18) ( 5 13  9  7) (16 20 15 10) ( 1  3 19  4) (11  6 17  2)
