A personal aside: you do realize that using a balanced schedule with a divisional structure is heresy? I mean, you're making the divisions meaningless with a balanced schedule! Sorry, I simply had to rant about that.

OK, I understand you point here that having a balanced schedule is meaningless....But why??? why is it meaningless to have a balances schedule, after all. all teams in the league would play each other about the same amount of time with a balanced schedule......Right?
