I have a tournament upcoming with 8 golfers. Each player will play 7 matches as a 2-man team, each match to be played with a different golfer - A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. I have identified 28 combinations of golfer teams: AB, AC, AD, AE, AF, AG, AH, BC, BD, BE, BF, BG, BH, CD, CE, CF, CG, CH, DE, DF, DG, DH, EF, EG, EH, FG, FH, GH. One objective is that during the tournament each player will play against each other player only 2 times. This way, every player plays with each player and against each player the same number of times. I have tried to put the schedule together by T&E without success. Does anybody have an idea on how to accomplish my task?
Thanks for the assistance.
