need help

[wickcurls]

I would like help in making round robin schedules for 16 teams on 8 fields, 17 teams on 8 fields and 18 teams on 8 fields and balancing the fields played as well as possible.   I downloaded Ian's spreadsheets and they are great.  I can now figure the 16 team and 17 team schedule.  My only need is the 18 team schedule, with only 8 fields to play on.  There will be 2 byes each round in this scenario.

Does the schedule below work for you? The match between team 9 and team 10 would would need to be played at some other time.
