Request - 1 league, 2 divisions, 8 teams, 140 games.
 
Hi schedule Gods, I have a request if any of you are able to help me out. I normally make my own custom schedules, but I'm working on some for a new league at the moment, and just haven't got around to putting together one for my main league since I edited the structure...

The league in question has 2 divisions of 4 teams each, and I'm after a schedule of 140 games. The only requirement that I have is that teams play more games within their division than outside of it. I don't mind at all what the actual breakdown is. I also don't have any preference with regards to series length, off-days etc. There is no all-star game. It would be awesome if the final games of the season were on day 169, but I can easily jig things around once the hard work is done ;)

Many, many, many thanks for anybody who can help. :flowers:

# 8 team schedule, 140 games
# Designed for the following configuration:
# 1 subleague with 2 divisions, each with 4 teams
#
#

# 14 games against 4 teams in other division (6-8H/6-8A)
#
#
# By request this schedule has greater frequency of offdays than modern MLB
# With 140 over 168 days, there are 28 offdays across 24 weeks
#
# No cases of more than 16 straight days without offday
#
# No homestands or roadtrips longer than 14 games
#
# All game times set at 7:05pm
#
# Season begins first Monday on or after April 1
# Season thus ends mid/late September
#
# No All-Star Game set, though there are several universal offdays

Would anyone be able to make this schedule but based on 162 games instead?

Oh, so even though that was from an old version of OOTP, it will work fine? But yes that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Also I find it strange that so many schedules are made for 2 subleagues without interleague play. It seems as if you can just import them one subleague at a time, and that there is nothing to gain except maybe a few seconds of clicking, yet it ruins flexibility (and seems like a huge waste of time for whoever is creating the schedule) if one of the subleagues has a different structure. Am I incorrect about that?

The old file will not work because the format has changed from when that schedule was originally made. The old file though was basically just converted into the new format with no real changes to the layout of games.

Well, I see where you are coming from, but really it does not matter. The parameters can be adjusted routinely to work for another layout. E.g., a 2S/1D/4T layout schedule can be easily relabeled and set to work for a 1S/2D/4T layout. Almost always when I make a non-interleague 2-subleague schedule it is by making just one subleague schedule, copying it to make the second, then merging them together into one file.

Oh okay. So are you saying that the link you gave me is a link to a version of the schedule that will work? Sorry Im so confused!

gmo 11-18-2008 08:28 PM

Use the file zipped up as the attachment at the bottom of post 5. Do not use the file in the link at the top of post 5 - that file through that link is the wrong format, but it is what was used to make the attached file.

I see gmo has already provided a custom schedule, but I'll just mention this option as well:

You can also use any of the Texas League schedules that ship with OOTP for your league. Those are for an 8-team league with two 4-team divisions and playing a 140 game schedule, and utilize a divisionally weighted format. The only thing to be aware of is that, as minor league schedules, the seasons are shorter, running 151 or 152 days long.
