I am trying to make different schedules for an upcoming beer Olympics depending on how many people will show up (not sure yet) I’m looking for a schedule for 13 teams 6 games (7 could even work) as well as a schedule for 11 teams same amount of games!

Balance is not possible here because of the odd number of teams.  In the schedules that follow some of the teams (the ones that do not have a bye) will get to try each game once, the others miss a round and miss a game.

11 teams (A to K) and 6 games

  G1    G2    G3    G4    G5    G6  Bye

13 teams (A to M) and 7 games
