Let's say that you have 10 candidates.  They can be paired in 45 combinations.  Each pair draws 9 or 10 CDs that they will contest against each other.

Then you draw up a schedule, with each matchup lasting 2 weeks.  For example, you might have had Kerry v. Dean, Edwards v Clark, Gephardt v Sharpton, Mosely-Braun v Kucinich, and Gore v Lieberman one period.

With 9 or 10 CDs over a 2 week period, the candidates can have a debate in one each week with 4 off days.  At the end of the campaigning period, the voters in each CD vote for one of their two candidates.

Total time period is about 4 months, March to June.  The candidate who wins the most of the 87 CDs he contest is the party's candidate.
