Your best team will finish first, and your worst team will finish last. 50 games is a short season, so a hot streak by any team (10 games) may be enough to win in this environment.

Over a longer term, assuming the teams are not simply clones and there are injuries enabled, I would expect to see the 2-3 teams cycle, the 4-5 teams cycle, and the 6-7 teams cycle with the best team staying in the top 2 and the worst team staying in the bottom 2. It would probably take 50 games to get a real sense of which teams go where, and then you would see a steady dynamic as I describe, or something close to it, depending on the distribution of team strengths. You would not expect to see all teams with a .500 record (unless all teams are clones of the same parent and there is no injury factor).

Is a neat thought concept. If you can automate the scheduling to do what you describe here, I think it would be fun to see how things shake out over multiple 50 game seasons and compare those results to 154 game seasons.
