A schedule for 12 high school golf teams 2015-11-15
From Jason:
I have 12 high school golf teams (A - L). There will be 4 games each week for 4 weeks. For each game, 3 teams play at a time (A vs B vs C). I would like it where no team plays the same team twice. Week four is my issue as I seem to always have a team or two playing the same team again. Is it possible to have each team play each other only once?

We are having a youth activity where we have eight teams and four stations. At each station there will be two teams competing against each other.

Golf with 3 teams of 20 2014-04-21
From Joshua:
Thank in advance for this great service

Golf - new - 3 teams of 20 - to create 20 unique groups of 3

For example use 3 teams of 3

1a 2a 3a
1b 2b 3b
1c 2c 3c

So groups are
1a 1b 1c
2a 2b 2c
3a 3b 3c

Groups can only have one a, one and one c - and that combo should be unique

From Denise:
We put together a game night where we have 2 teams of 6 couples each that play 6 games. We haven't been able to figure out an arrangement that allows each couple to play each game with a different couple from the opposite team (i.e. Team A couples play every game with a different couple from Team B). Is this possible? It works with 2 teams of 5 couples each.

Teams 2006-01-24
From Brianna:
A small business has 8 employees. Every day, the owner designates a team to do a certain task. The owner is careful never to designate a team that is a subset of a former team or a future team, because then some people might feel not really needed in some teams. Prove that even being so considerate, the owner can choose a different team on each of 70 consecutive days.
