So I had a 16 team schedule nailed down but then numbers dropped.

here is the situation....

I've got 14 teams,  I have 7 games all running at the same time. The games are head to head so 2 teams compete in 7 different games over seven rounds.

I would like all teams to work their way through all 7 games without playing the same game or  team twice....

for the love of god help me :o

No problem. Here is a suitable schedule for 14 teams A to N.  It's symmetric so rows/columns could be assigned to rounds/games either way around.


(G K) (M C) (E L) (B A) (I F) (H N) (J D)
(E D) (G L) (J N) (I C) (M K) (B F) (H A)
(M F) (I A) (G C) (H D) (B N) (J L) (E K)
(B L) (H K) (I D) (E F) (J C) (G A) (M N)
(J A) (E N) (H F) (M L) (G D) (I K) (B C)
(H C) (J F) (B K) (G N) (E A) (M D) (I L)
(I N) (B D) (M A) (J K) (H L) (E C) (G F)
