Hi,
Have searched with little luck so posting a request.
2 teams of 8 players in a doubles competition Team A against Team B
Criteria - 4 courts, 7 rounds, Team A playing with a different partner each round
against different opposition in Team B also playing with a different partner each round.
Chatgpt and MetaAI both failed to produce a schedule meeting all the criteria.

Thanks in advance, Cheers, Bart

If you take the schedule in reply#1 here, ignore the extra round, then take each game of the form (H W vs H W) and rearrange the four players to give (H H vs W W), then if H and W are the two teams, then I believe the schedule will meet the requirements that you have set.

Thanks Ian, That worked a treat. I did look at that schedule but couldn't get my head around the changes required.
Many thanks, chatgpt - 0 metaAl - 0   Ian  Winner
