I'm involved with a group that plays a lot of 500 tournaments.
Typically, there are either 4, 8 or 12 players which easily allows each player to play with each other player as a partner only once. If there's only 4, 8 or 12 players we can easily rotate.
It goes as follows:
4 players - 1 table and each player plays as partners with each other player once.
8 players - 2 tables of 4 and each player rotates between tables playing as partners with each other player once.
12 players - 3 tables of 4 and each player rotates between tables playing as partners with each other player once.
Occasionally, we end up with 5,6,7,9,10 or 11 players (sometimes more than 12 but very rarely). I am looking for a round robin schedule where, with byes, we can rotate having each player play each other player only once and each player have the same amount of byes. Can someone point me to where to start with this (table visits do not matter)? I have looked at the schedules and am not sure which one would apply.
Thank you,
