Usually this is done as follows: Take an abelian group $A$ of order $2n-1$ and identify $A$ with the matchdays. Choose a "jokerteam" and identify the other teams with $A$. Then on day $a\in A$, team $x$ is to play against team $a-x$, and team $2^{-1}a$ is to play against the jokerteam. At least, this system is used in the german Fußballbundesliga. | |
