I'm coordinating a round robin hockey tourney with two ice sheets and 10 teams total. 4 teams will be playing each round, with 6 teams not playing.  I am trying to keep the amount of time the 6 non-playing teams are off the ice balanced during the tourney, this is proving fairly tough.  

Setup advice?

I believe that no team in the schedule below has more than 3 rounds in a row off the ice.  Also teams play 4 or 5 times on each sheet.  If you don't like the idea of having the unused sheet in the last round, then simply play the schedule in reverse from bottom to top.  Hope that helps.
