    Im working on a softball scheduling scipt and ive come to a standstill...the script has these conditions:

    This league has 32 teams.
    6 diamonds
    4 games per diamond
    Each team must play two games every other week.
    Each team must play the same number or games
    No duplicate match-ups.

    Must work with even or odd number of teams.
    Must work with any number of diamonds.

    Attached is the script so far...but it only goes to week 4...anyone have any suggestions?
