table movement ( 11:23:19 TueJan 21 2003 )

I am looking for a 4 table individual movement where everyone will play with everyone as a partner. 2-3 boards each round

Here is the standard 4-table, 6-round (3 boards/round) Howell:

Table 1 - - Table 2 - - Table 3 - - Table 4

NS EW Bds NS EW Bds NS EW Bds NS EW Bds
8-1 1-3 | | 7-5 1-3 | | 3-4 4-6 | |6-2 7-9
8-2 4-6 | | 7-6 4-6 | | 4-5 7-9 | |1-3 10-12
8-3 7-9 | | 7-1 7-9 | |5-6 10-12 | 2-4 13-15

Tables 1 and 2 relay (share) boards each round.

Actually, that is a pair movement, not a team movement.

Remember, with 4 tables, you will play 15 rounds for everyone to play with everyone else - so 2 board rounds will mean 30 Boards.

Here's one from Movements - a fair approach:
To start:
Table# - N - E - S - W - Boards
Table 1 |16*-15 -1 -12 | 1-2
Table 2 | 6 - 9 - 7 - 11 | 5-6
Table 3 | 4 - 14 - 8 - 5 | 13-14
Table 4 | 13-10 - 3 - 2 | 15-16

Player # 16 remains stationary.
Boards and players move as normal - players 1-15 follow the next lower # player; boards follow the next lower pair of boards.

This movement cannot be curtailed without board factoring.
