I used a program. Here are two solutions:

N=7
3,5,6
3,4,7
2,5,7
2,4,6
1,6,7
1,4,5
1,2,3

This isn't what I was looking for. This is everybody playing 3 three man games. I wanted everybody to play EVERYBODY else once and only once in a three man game. 7 players won't work for that. You need a power of 3 as Spoon says so 9, or 27, etc.
I am not sure I follow. Player 1 places all 3 player games and plays every player once and only once. The same applies for player 2, 3, etc.
