New Schedules: 76 Games for 36 Teams, 2017 NY-Penn League Schedule Style
NY-Penn League has 3 divisions of 6, 4 and 4 teams. I added 2 teams in the 4-team divisions to make 18 teams sublease keeping the characteristics of the league. I doubled it up to accommodate 36 Teams.
All teams play 76 games: 24 3-games series and 2 2-games series. Most of the games are intra-division, each team playing 12 games against 4 teams in the division and 10 games against the 5th team. All teams play 18 games against 6 (out of 12) teams of the other divisions (3H or 3A).
No more than 18 games played without a day off (except that the season ends with a stretch of 23 straight games). No home stand or road trip longer than 9 games. Season start on a Monday (June 15 or after), season ends early to mid September. There is an All-Star game on day 58 (a Tuesday, mid-August). The All-Star break is 2 days.
It takes 20 seasons to equilibrate all the matchups. So here are the 20 Schedules.
