Schedule Characteristics:
SCHEDULE type="ILN_BGY_G142_T8_C_" inter_league="0" balanced_games="1" games_per_team="142" start_month="4" start_day="21" start_day_of_week="5"
Teams play either 140 or 142 games. Teams play each other 70 or 71 times. Teams play from 69 to 71 home games.
Season starts on April 21 and ends on September 7. Weekday and Saturday games start at 7:00. Sunday and holiday games start at 1:00. Split home-and-home holiday double-headers between Norfolk and Portsmouth begin at 10:00 and 3:00. No off-days.
Norfolk and Portsmouth play two double-headers against each other (the only double-headers on the schedule), so they are the only teams that play 142 games. The rest of the teams play 140 games (10h/10a), although Asheville plays only nine games at Charlotte instead of ten.

Since this schedule is so easily converted into a standard 140-game schedule, I went ahead and made this modified schedule that eliminates the Portsmouth-Norfolk double-headers and moves the May 19 Asheville-Charlotte game to Charlotte.

EDIT: I figured if this schedule could be easily modified for a 140-game season, it could just as easily be modified for a 142-game season. That meant scheduling double-headers for all teams on May 30 and July 4 and switching the opening-day Richmond-Durham game to Richmond. Each team in this schedule plays 142 games, split evenly home-and-away.
