Chris Lane, the head professional at Royal Oak Country club, must develop a schedule of matches for the couples' golf league that begins its season at 4PM tomorrow. Eighteen couples signed up for the league and each couple must play every other couple over the course of the 17 week schedule. A possible complication is that one of the couples told Chris that they may have to cancel for the season. They told Chris they would let him know by 1PM tomorrow whether they will be able to play this season.
Prepare a report for Chris Lane. Your report should include, at minimum, the following items:
-A schedule that will enable each of the 18 couples to play every other couple over the 17 week season
-A contingency schedule that can be used if the couple that contacted Chris decides to cancel for the season.
