Hi John

Thanks for all your help.  You are getting closer but I cannot make it 6 days.  I could, however make it 4 days with the 5th day to be set up with the best 4 performers iin the first group and the rest in the next group irrespective of what it does to the initial objective.

Will your programme give the perfect answer for 4 days?

We are getting nearer.  I am sure though that there is a perfect answer.  Keep trying everyone

Sorry, everyone seems to have misunderstood my problem.  There are eight golfers who are to be split into teams of 4 each day.  Everyone plays only 1 game each day and, over the 5 days we are playing I want to make sure that the teams are mixed up so that, ideally, everyone plays with everyone else at least twice.  I do not want anyone to play with anyone else more than 3 times in the 5 days and I do not want anyone to play any less than 2 times with each player.  It should be possible.  Player number 1 for example will play 5 games with 3 people each time making 15.  As there are another 7 players if he plays with 6 of them 2 times (=12) and one of them 3 times that equals the 15.  Help

I am leading a group of 8 golfers on a 5 day tour.  We play in teams of 4.  How can I make sure that each player plays with each of the other players on at least 2 of the 5 days?
