This task is not as daunting as it sounds. Most houses have their own scheduling program. However if your house doesn't have it's own scheduling program, you can always find a freeware one to download. Barring those first two options, there is always the manual option available. Fear not, the good people at USBC (United States Bowling Congress), formerly ABC (American Bowling Congress), have already done all the work for you.
Some important things to remember. The number of weeks doesn't matter, you can simply pick the number you need, you do not have to use the whole sheet and like wise, if you need more, you simply start over. Most leagues will use the last week as their play off/roll off week. So on that week instead of using the schedule, you just have the first seed play the second, the third play the fourth, and so on.
Also from time to time, you might not be able to fill a whole team, leaving you with an odd number of teams (13 or 11 or 9). This is not a problem. You can do one of two things in this scenario. You can ask if there are members of any team who don't mind being split up and play them on different teams that are missing a bowler. Another solution (the more popular choice since most bowlers joined to bowl with a specific team), is just to create a blind team. The blind team would consist of all blind average scores (setup in your league rules) and every week, one team would be bowling against the blind team.
