MLB Original 16 team League

[NYY1989]

1 League 2 Sub-Leagues 2 Divisions (ALE ALW NLE NLW) per subleague of 4 teams 16 total teams

Each team faces division opponents 14x
Each team faces the other division teams 10x Each teams faces all interleague teams 10x
162 games 82 sub league 80 interleague

All Series will be 5 game series but since the division opponents face one another 14x instead of 10x there would be 2 5 game series and 2 short 2 game series (these 2 game series against the 3 division opponents will take place at the end of each half of the season)

I would like for the structure of each half to be the same at 81 games so each team first half plays 7 games against division opponents (Series of 5 and a Series of 2 to end the half) and 5 game series against the other 12 teams for each half of the season that way every teams play one another on both halves
All Star Break to take place right after game 81

Postseason (8 total teams qualify) Top 2 from each division make the playoffs. The 1st place team will face the other divisions 2nd place team. All Series Best of 7

I appreciate you but how can I view this?

[gmo]

You will need to download the zip file and unzip it. The contents are an "lsdl" file. You can open it will some sort of text editor if you wanted just to look at it.

To use it in the game you can load it by from your league going under League Settings > Functions > Editors > Edit League Schedule > Actions... > Import from File. You can choose the location from wherever you saved the unzipped lsdl file.

The game-included schedules are in the program folder like (if on Windows)...
...Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball ##\schedules
But files do not have to be there as you can load from anywhere.

Iam using the iPhone version of OOTP only can this work there as well or is it done differently

I was able to finally open it changing file extension to csv! So I looked at the schedule and I’m assuming teams 1-4 5-8 9-12 and 13-16 are respectively the divisions. I briefly looked at the schedule and it looks like 5 games series but for the 2 game divisional series I’m a bit confused on how you placed those? So I want to end the first half and second half with these 2 games sets so for ex: Team 1 in the first half faces the other 15 teams in a 5 game series and ends the half facing their division rivals in short 2 game series (last 6 games of the half) then All Star game/HR Derby then the same structure for second half with the Home/Away switched again I may be reading it wrong as I read it quickly I’ll probably read it more thoroughly later on but my question is if I provide you the names of teams/divisions would you be able to place the team names in the schedule file or is it not possible? Well I thank you again I’ve seen your work in other post as well and you are indeed a HOF!!!!

Oh, I actually have no idea about the mobile version. Not sure what the capabilities are for that. For some reason never occurred to me. Maybe a question better in its forum.

As you describe is the layout. The 2-game series to conclude the first half span day numbers 86-91 and the second half 180-185.

The schedule does have All-Star Game defined, but HR Derby is set through League Settings > Options > All-Star Game Settings. Again, at least that is how the non-mobile version works.

You do have the understanding of the use of the numbers. That is how schedule files work (see https://wiki.ootpdevelopments.com/in...OOTP/Schedules), using internal ID numbers instead of names. With numbers the file can work with any league with the corresponding configuration instead of being tied to particular team names.
