This schedule is just the same as the one posted here:

except with the team numbers rearranged into the configuration above.
See the top of the file for more details.
EDIT (2004/10/21) - Simply added another version of the schedule with the first & second divisions of second league switch so format is {4,4,4;5,4,5}.

I really like this schedule, but unfortunately I play in a league that prefers a more balanced schedule. Is there something available for the same 26-team, 6-division format (162 games) with:
In the 4-4-4 league, 112 games (8x14) vs interdivision foes, 50 games (2x17, 1x16) vs intradivision foes;
In the 4-5-5 league, 108 games (9x12) vs interdivision foes, 54 games (it comes out to a mix of 3x 14-14-13-13 and 2x 13-13-13-15) for the 5-team divisions and 120 (10x12) + 42 (14x3) for the 4-team division
If nothing, any recommendations/guidelines to follow that might help me out? I tried Stickware, but it never comes out with a truly balanced schedule, and the whole point of trying to do this manually was to get an even schedule (not one where a team plays 9 against one out-of-division rival and 15 against another) and have some control over favoring intradivision matchups in September. After about 30 hours of work, though, the best schedule I could come up with had clumped offdays and too many 20+ games stretches without time off.
For those who have done it, what's the best way to create a manual schedule by hand? Start with one team and schedule it all the way through, then move to the next, etc.? Or do the whole schedule one day at a time?
