52 team schedule

[muted79]

Hi, can anyone please design schedules for these two set-ups? Both are 52 team schedules.

Config 1
2 leagues
1 Division each
26 teams per division
No Interleague play
No All-Star Games.
Each team plays each other 6 times (3 h, 3 a)
Prefer 3 game series where possible
All games to be played at night

Config 2
1 League
4 Divisions
12 teams, 12 teams, 14 teams, 14 teams
No interdivision play
No Allstar game
12 team division play each other 16 times (11 x 16 = 176) (8h 8a)
4 x 3 game, 2 x 2 game series
14 team divisions play each other 14 times (14 x 13 = 182) (7h 7a)
2 x 3 game series, 2 x 4 game series (not fussed on this one, do 4 x 2 if needed)
All games to be played at night
Seasons for all 4 divisions to finish on or around the same date, starting date doesn't mate, either does the finish date, as long as they all finish around the same date.

I see this has been added. I was going to ask if slotting in about 20 offdays for the 176-game schedule and 14 offdays for the 182-game schedule so both could start and end at the same time would be okay. I will plan toward that, but you probably have at least a day before I would be ready to finalize it. The other option would be about equal numbers of offdays but with the 176-game divisions starting about a week later.

A note about the different number of games. I believe it will work okay, in that the game will recognize the season is over when it is set to be. But I think you need to set the number of games parameter in the setup to 182 (that is what I plan to use in the file parameters). The only problem I think is that the magic number will not be figured correctly for the 176-game divisions. I am not completely sure about all that, but I am pretty sure. It should be just the same as if one game was forgotten or deleted from the schedule file (which is a way this could be tested).

Excellent, thanks for this one

[muted79]

if you can figure all 4 divisions to start and end on the same day that would be great. If it's easier for the lighter schedule to start a week later, this is fine too. Go with whichever is easier. The magic number thing doesn't really bother me as I tend to sim the season anyway. Again, go with whichever format is easier. If it's easier, Have the Division 1 and 2 teams play a home and away series (3h 3a) from series against 1 team from the opposite division to make them 182 game schedules as well.

THere's an error with the schedule you posted. I believe it's because you have the structure as 1 league x 2 divisions, when it's actually 2 single division leagues

[muted79]

nevermind, figured out how to change it up myself, thanks again. Look forward to config 2.

Thank you for this. Just in time to set-up the league in OOTPX too.

[muted79]

cannot seem to get it to import properly have set up the league as described:
12 - 12 - 14 - 14
yet it says the structure of the schedule is different to that of the league. All Settings are identical as well.

[muted79]

Nevermind, found a workaround, thanks again

I know this is an old post but I'm having trouble using the 150 game schedule in OOTP 17, any suggestions? I've tried modifying everything.
