I want to host a one day friendly paddle tournament with the following data points:
- There will be 25 players playing doubles
- There are 5 courts
- There will be 5 rounds  
- 20 people will play at at time and 5 people will be sitting.  Each player will play 4 rounds with one bye. 

The goal of the tournament is to mix up the pairings so everyone will play with and against new people (as much as possible).  What is the best way to schedule this?  ChatGPT couldn't figure this out... :)

Here is a schedule that you can use for your tournament.

(5 2 v 19 18) (13  9 v 20 12) (22 23 v 14 4) (3  8 v 24  7) (11 16 v 21  6) [25 15 17 1 10]
(1 3 v 20 19) (14 10 v 16 13) (23 24 v 15 5) (4  9 v 25  8) (12 17 v 22  7) [21 11 18 2  6]
(2 4 v 16 20) (15  6 v 17 14) (24 25 v 11 1) (5 10 v 21  9) (13 18 v 23  8) [22 12 19 3  7]
(3 5 v 17 16) (11  7 v 18 15) (25 21 v 12 2) (1  6 v 22 10) (14 19 v 24  9) [23 13 20 4  8]
(4 1 v 18 17) (12  8 v 19 11) (21 22 v 13 3) (2  7 v 23  6) (15 20 v 25 10) [24 14 16 5  9]

each of the 5 rows is a round and the byes are in the last column inside square brackets.  A player's 4 partners and 8 opponents are all different.
