Rachel and Gordon

Gordon is correct. However if you split into 2 groups and play each group
separately this will work. At the end of the day all teams in each group
would have played each other once, they will have three byes and no team
plays more than twice in a row. However, the teams in the two groups will
not have played each other. You would have to play off the best performed
teams.

I have the playing roster in an excel file that I cannot send through the
group.
