May indeed be a good idea to get a request in early. The new format for the importable schedule files is still not certain, but construction can still be done even if the end result cannot yet be produced.
In this particular case, I will have to do some thinking about how to work those inter-division games with varying numbers of teams per division and a couple of divisions with an odd number of teams. Before even that, a few questions... |
Thanks for your quick response gmo

Actually, whether that's easier or not, that'd probably be better than spreading them out through the season. So, yes, put the inter-division at the beginning.

What I was trying to do was make sure the 12 team divisions played at least 8 games per opponent (4 home, 4 away). 11 opponents x 8 games = 88. The 9 other divisions x 4 games in each division = 36. So I guess I meant 124.

I am guessing because of the length of the schedule with the playoffs you want the former, but to do it with mostly 4-game series means giving up the baseball week that usually features 2 series (one Mon/Tue-Wed/Thu and one Thu/Fri-Sun) and just dropping in the games where they may fall with series spanning any range.

2 off days every 3 weeks would be good. Yeah, just put the games wherever they fall. It's a league in Michigan. They'll want to get done before there balls freeze. *cough* You know what I mean.

Well, that's for you to figure out
