In the 8 table for 27 boards case, you have 10 sets of 3 boards. Relay between 8 and 1, and between 4 and 5. It plays for 9 rounds without problems. It isn't much use for 7.5 tables as one pair would sit out twice.

You can get around this by making the NS pair who would sit out for the second time play one of their adjacent NS pairs instead on the final round - as long as you aren't trying to run it as a two-winner movement.

Thanks. I'd assumed only 9 board sets were in play, so wasn't getting anything to work.

Ah, yes, hadn't thought of that! Though by the time I've gone to the trouble of arrow switching and having something irregular going on on the last round, I might as well have played the hesitation Mitchell in the first place
