Schedule Request: 10 Teams, 2 Divs, 63 games

Hello! I really enjoy a shorter schedule that lets me play through every game without seasons taking months to get through, but it seems like most shorter schedules follow a college format which doesn't really work for me. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could please help me out, schedule-wise:

One sub-league split into two divisions of five teams each. Each team plays:

Four 3-game series against the other four teams in their division, two at home and two away (4x3x4=48 games).

and one 3-game series against each team in the other division. (3x5=15 games).

Ideally the season would start on April 1 and run through to mid-June. I don't know if this is too complicated, but I would love if we could get a league-wide off-day after every third series (nine games on, one game off), which would allow for teams to skip their fifth starter every second run through the order. If that's too complicated it's fine, as long as there are still occasional off-days.

Thank you in advance!

Thank you very much gmo!! I hadn't been checking the boards lately so apologies for the late response, but I'll definitely be using this when my current season ends!

One thing: I realize I forgot to specify, but would it be much trouble to add in an All-Star Game? I've been playing with one up to now. If it's a lot of work please don't bother -- I'm very happy with what you've made! -- but if it's a simple addition I would appreciate it.

In this case slotting in an All-Star Game would be really easy - just slot in some offdays for the break. So the questions are, how many days and when?

I might suggest after the 4th of the 7 blocks of three 3-game series. Instead of one offday there, two more could be added with the ASG in the middle of those three days. But whatever number of days whenever is just as easy.

So it would come 36 games into the season? That sounds perfect to me.

Thank you very much gmo! You're the man!

Sorry for the gravedig, but how hard would it be to edit this schedule just so that it all happens later in the year - starting July 1 instead of April 1? I could try myself but would be worried about screwing it up, unless there's a specific tutorial somewhere for this?

Change the numbers for the start_month & start_day to what you what. In this case April 1st is 4/1, thus those numbers there. You could just change the month to 7 for July 1st.

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 11:52 PM.
