Greetings fellow schedulers!
Is it possible to schedule a golf league with a 10 man A-flight and a 10 man B-flight where each A-flight player will have a new B-flight player partner every week and play against a different A/B-flight team combination only once over the course of "X" number of weeks?
This is similar to whist scheduling, but instead of scheduling individually with all 20 players partnering with each other over the course of the schedule, the 2 flights would team with each other.

Week 1
(1/20 vs. 2/19) (3/18 vs 4/17) (5/16 vs 6/15) (7/14 vs 8/13) (9/12 vs 10/11)
Week 2
(2/20 vs. 4/18) (5/17 vs 8/14) (9/13 vs 10/12) (7/14 vs 8/13) (1/11 vs 3/19)
Etc…
Living here in northern Ohio, our league can stretch to a maximum of probably 22-23 weeks, max maybe 24 because of the weather and sunset. How many weeks would the above scenario require? Also, pertinent to this conversation, is that our number of golfers varies slightly year by year. If the above scenario is possible will it work with 18, 22 or 24 golfers also?
Thanks so much!
