Round Robin Scheduler

Hello,

I've been tasked to make an app that pairs people randomly each week (without repeating) and sends them an email with their pair. Does anybody know a way to go about this? It seems like an automation isn't the way to go due to the limitations. Right now the only solution I can find is for me to do the pairing offline and then upload the pairing indexes into QB. Is there another app that does this?

Thanks,
Matt

    Interesting challenge.  

     So do you mean you have a group of say 50 people and on a regular schedule you want to make 25 random pairs.

        Not sure if I will think of an answer, How many does it need to handle? How many People?  Does the number of people change all the time?
