Question: There are 6 different teams: Team A, B, C, D, E and F Team A is from Austin Team B is from Dallas Team C

There are 6 different teams:

Team A, B, C, D, E and F

Team A is from Austin

Team B is from Dallas

Team C is from Fort Worth

Team D is from New York City

Team E is from Sacramento

Team F is from Chicago

There is a tournament held by team A from Austin where 6 teams go head-to-head. There are three locations the games will be held in which are Austin, Dallas and Fort Worth.

Team A, B and C have the advantage of playing at their home stadiums. There will be 3 total games meaning 3 different teams being played in the locations of Austin, Dallas and Fort Worth. Team A will be playing D-F, Team B will be playing Team D-F and Team C will be playing Team D-F like a round robin.

1) How can we have it where Team A can play 2 matches in Austin and then go to either Dallas or Forth Worth for the third match.

2) How can we have it where Team B can play 2 matches in Dallas and then go to either Austin or Forth Worth for the third match.

3) How can we have it where Team C can play 2 matches in Fort Worth and then go to either Dallas or Austin for the third match.

Make sure it is also fair for team D, E and F can be in the same location for two matches as well to limit the transportation.

This was my thought:

Team A: Austin, Dallas, Austin...play 1 home and then travel and then play the last one home but I am unsure if all 6 teams can play 2x at one location to make the travel easier.

Please match up the teams too as stated previously.
