I'm trying to work out whether I can form 10 matches from a set of 98 possible player pairings (which includes 20 individuals).
Each player must play in one, and only one, of the matches.
A computational approach is fine, but there are too many possibilities to enumerate---14005614014756, to be precise, i.e. choose(98, 10).
The data for the allowable match pairs is:

I was able to identify the existence of one using the blossom algorithm.
