Each team gets a letter or name. In the first game A plays B, C plays D, E plays F, G plays H and I plays J on their respective fields. Teams A, C, E, G and I make up the outer wheel. Teams B, D, F, H and J make up the inner wheel. At the end of game 1 the teams on the outer wheel rotate clockwise while the teams on the inner wheel rotate counter clockwise. This results in A playing F on field 2, C playing H on field 3, E plays J on field 4, G plays B on field 5 and I plays D on field 1. When there are an odd number of games each team plays each opponent from the other wheel.
