family tournament 16people 5 venues

[ibuzzharr]

I am trying to set up a tournament with 5  different games being played, there will be 16 people; 8 male and 8 females.  I want to have a male and female on each team with a different partner for each game and against different teams for the 5 venues. Is it possible to do in 7 rounds? I have been agonizing over this for hrs trying to setup. I was trying to setup up with each male playing with each female once. 2 teams will be competing at each venue and 1 venue will be vacant each round.

       Your help would be appreciated.

A good starting point would be this schedule for mixed doubles.  It solves the problem about different partners and different opponents, but not the issue about the balance for the 5 games/venues.  It should be possible for you to arrange the 4 matches in each of the 7 rounds so that there is reasonable balance across the venues.

Hope that helps.
