Lots of great help in the past with golf schedules - hope you can help with this!

We plan on playing a little Euchre on New Years Eve but we have 14 people coming. Is there a way to set up 3 tables (12 players) and rotate people in and out that would allow all 14 people to play each other without duplicates or an open seat?

I would suggest playing 7 rounds as follows:

 (14  7 v 1 10) ( 9 13 v 5  8)  (4  2 v 11  6)  (12  3)
 ( 8  1 v 2 11) (10 14 v 6  9)  (5  3 v 12  7)  (13  4)
 ( 9  2 v 3 12) (11  8 v 7 10)  (6  4 v 13  1)  (14  5)
 (10  3 v 4 13) (12  9 v 1 11)  (7  5 v 14  2)  ( 8  6)
 (11  4 v 5 14) (13 10 v 2 12)  (1  6 v  8  3)  ( 9  7)
 (12  5 v 6  8) (14 11 v 3 13)  (2  7 v  9  4)  (10  1)
 (13  6 v 7  9) ( 8 12 v 4 14)  (3  1 v 10  5)  (11  2)


This gives everyone exactly six rounds of play and one bye round.  Also no partnerships or opponent pairings are duplicated.

Hope that helps.
