Schedule Request - 1 league, 4 divisions, 6 teams per division, 168 games

nypama · 12-11-2015, 09:50 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm new to OOTP (I've had it for about 6 weeks now and love it).

I know this is my first post here, so I apologize that I'm already asking for help. I'm looking for a schedule that I didn't see posted here. I tried the scheduling program but it doesn't seem to be able to do what I want.

I would like to create a fictional league with 1 subleague, 4 divisions of 6 teams each. Each team would play divisional opponents 12 times (6H, 6A) and every other team 6 times (3H,3A) - so 60 division games and 108 out of division. I don't want 2 subleagues because for my playoffs I want the 4 division winners plus the next 4 best records as wild cards.

I checked the forum and didn't see any schedules like this. I could spend time creating it, but I didn't know if anyone had a schedule like this already created.

Thank you, and sorry again for the request as my first post!

I can make this one.

Thank you!
It doesn't seem like it should be that difficult, but I'm such a newbie that I would probably need a huge amount of time to figure things out.

You know with that schedule that you will get divisions winners with losing records sometimes?

Yes I know.
I'm experimenting with different setups to see what I like.
In a way it's sort of like the NFL or NBA - there can be one dominant division and one stinker. That's why there will be wild cards available for the teams in the more dominant divisions.

I want the schedule to be somewhat unbalanced but not completely. I also don't want the season to be 200 games long (if the division played 18 division games against each team, plus 6 agains the other 18 teams, that's a 198 game schedule) and I want every team to play a home and home against every other team.

I suppose I could do 2 game series and do something like 16-18 division games (x5 teams = 80-90) and 4 against the other divisions (x18 teams = 72) and have a 152-162 game season, but I like 3 (or 4) game series better.

Again, I'm really new to this game, so I'm just trying different ideas to see what sticks.
