One way to do this is to have each NS pair stationary, and the EW
pairs play against the other two NS pairs. Suppose your teams are
pairs A&1, B&2, C&3, then:
Round 1:
A plays 2
B plays 3
C plays 1
Round 2:
A plays 3
B plays 1
C plays 2
For a more complete movement, make it into four rounds:
1:
A vs B
C vs 1
2 vs 3
2:
A vs C
B vs 3
1 vs 2
3:
A vs 2
B vs C
1 vs 3
4:
A vs 3
B vs 1
C vs 2
(There are, presumably, more elegant solutions than this, but it's an
example.)
For scoring, you can award VPs (suppose team A1 beats team B2 by 14
IMPs over 12 boards; I don't know VP scales by heart but that's around
13-7). Add each team's total VPs and you're done.
