schedules are done

Here are the schedules as requested. Here are some of the specs.

1. There are 6 schedules total - they can be played in any order but you should play all 6 before you rotate them again. There are 6 because this gives your interleague opponent to be from a different division each season. Each schedule has a "flipped" schedule to allow for playing all interleague opponents 3h/3a over the 6 seasons.

2. The schedule was created to fit into the 182 major league schedule format. So when it was created it could not be all 3 game series with one day off each week, the season would be to long. The 9 game series were 4 games, 3 games and 2 games. This meant that one year it would be 10h/8a against one team, 9h/9a against one team and 8h/10 away against one team (4 team divisions). This problem was solved by having the flipped schedule. Each team plays 18h/18a over the 2 seasons.

3. Because there are very few interleague games, they were scheduled by the creator of the schedule to be in the first half of the season. This was done because there were only 2 and a half weeks of interleague play.

4. All schedules were tested in game and worked nicely. By testing this it showed me the 10h/8a issue and I was able to fix this with the flip.

I thought it would be more important to have every team playing each other the same number of home/away games for historical purposes. This is the only reason there are 6 schedules. Obviously you could just use one but then you are playing the same opponents each year. I hope you enjoy this. The planning took more time than the conversion, but this was enjoyable.

Files are in a zipped format because of there being 6 schedules. hopefully this is not an issue for any one only wanting one version.
