Apologies!  While working on this problem I forgot all the proviso's.
The result is still correct.  Instead of day number, it should be week
number.  Which day of the week a game is played is irrelevent to the
solution.

-----
i.e.

assume we have n players, with n even.
let w(i,j) be the week that the ith and jth players play.

then   w(i,j) = (i + j - 1) mod n-1  for i < j < n

and    w(i,n) = (2i - 1) mod n-1  for i < n
