Hesitation Mitchell
Following from my earlier discussion on this subject, I ran a 22 table, 2 sections of 11 tables each, 2 session game, using Hesitation Mitchell to be able to play 24 boards.
For the second session I switched EW pairs between the two sections, which worked fine for tables 1-10, but for tables 11 in each section if I switched only the EW pairs then the NS pairs would end up playing against the same EW pairs in their original section, and if I switched both then these two pairs would play against each other a second time in the second session. Is this correct or is there a way around this? Or is this only to be expected if we play 12 rounds in an 11 table game.

In the hesitation Mitchell both pairs at the hesitation table play E/W at the other tables, however they also play each other. So your experience is to be expected.
That was why a Web Mitchell for one of the two sessionswould have been preferable.
Another solution would be to have a 12-table Mitchell & a 10-table double Hesitation (or 3/4 Howell) & swap the moving lines between sessions (or swap the movers in the 10-table with N/S in the 12-table). But, for this number of tables, I think that I prefer Gordon's 22-table Web then two 11-table Hesitations.
