I'm kind of screwing around a bit with some European league schedules, and I'm running into an issue with the German Bundesliga.
Bundesliga is divided into two divisions, North and South. The schedule calls for each team in each division to play each other team in the division four times, with no inter-divisional play.
Where the issue lies is that the North division has an even number of teams (8), and the South has an odd number of teams (7). The official schedules for the Bundesliga (
North,
South) work along the 4-games principle, which means that the teams in the North play 28 games, while the teams in the South play 24.
As far as I can tell, it's not possible to import an XML schedule like this, correct?
I guess I could work around this by setting up the North and South as separate leagues, creating separate XML schedules for each one, and then Associating them, but I'd rather not do that. The ultimate goal would be to associate the Bundesliga into a larger European federation, and I don't believe it's possible to "nest" associations like that.
Would it be possible to manually add a handful of garbage games to the teams in the South to get them all up to 28 games, import that, and then manually delete the games in the schedule editor? Would that work?
