Six table rotation

tables. Anybody have a source we can print up for more tables?
We draw sheets and then go to the randomly selected table and partner,
play 4 games then go to the next assignment.

Here are a couple of movements found at bridgeguys.com for moving 24
players (6 tables):
This one is for a 24 player individual, playing 28 boards

How many boards do you want to play?
If you are trying to play an Individual movement, with 7 tables, you
would do what is frequently called a "Rainbow" movement. North players
stay put, West players up one, South players up two, East players down
one. I beleive that, in this configuration that the boards go down 2.
This would get you 28 boards with 7 different partners and 14
different opponents.
With 6 trables, the Rainbow movement doesn't work so well (for the
mathematically inclined, this is due to the fact that 6 is a modular
anti-prime), but to make the movement complete, you would have to play
23 rounds. Certainly, this is more than you have in mind. So, you will
have to use some abbreviated form of the movement.

We hardly ever get past 5 rounds or so.

Trying this out on paper for 6 tables, I see that if player 1 is North
and player 2 is south on table 1, round 1, they will also be partners
on round 4 and round 8. That doesn't work.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is what I want. But I haven't been
able to figure it out. I have to create some score sheets that tell
each player where to move next. I'm thinking a stanza is probably 8
rounds - in which case one stanza is all we need.

Again, I'm not understanding this - other than it has byes, which I
don't want.

That's my point. Because 6 is a modular antiprime (bascially, 2, 3,
and 4 all cause cycles in less than 6 additions), you can't run any
REGULAR rainbow movement.
However, if you have some of the players move twice after the third
rotation, you can play 5 rounds playing different opponents, different
boards, and different partners.
