Richard,

Click on the Schedules button above and then click on Whist.  It should default to the 8 person tournament that you need where all pairs of players partner each other exactly once, and play in opposition exactly twice.

ok that is great thanks, now if you could help me keep employees this 8 person one would work awesome.
I now only have 7 employees and was wondering how I could pull of a schedule?

please let me know if this is do able.

Perhaps it's time to start hiring, as 7 players is a difficult number to work with! Of course you must have 3 players who sit out each round, and so to give everyone the same number of games you need a multiple of 7 rounds.  Below all the partnerships are different and pairs of players oppose each other either once or twice.

   (5  2 v 1  3)    (6  4  7)
   (6  3 v 2  4)    (7  5  1)
   (7  4 v 3  5)    (1  6  2)
   (1  5 v 4  6)    (2  7  3)
   (2  6 v 5  7)    (3  1  4)
   (3  7 v 6  1)    (4  2  5)
   (4  1 v 7  2)    (5  3  6)

It's interesting that the schedule is more balanced in the byes, since all pairs of players have a bye together exactly once.  The byes are therefore equivalent to The Fano Plane.
