to form 10 pairs from 20 players  there are totally ((20!)/((2!)^(10) )) ways.  to select 10 players, one from each  college, there are 2^(10)  ways, and to  arrange the remaining 10 players  such that two players from the same  college are not in the same pair, there  are !10 ways. so the answer is  p=((2^(10) ×!10)/((20!)/((2!)^(10) )))=((2^(20) ×!10)/(20!))  with !10=1334961  i′m not sure if this answer is correct.  if you have the right answer, please  share it.
