Schedule creation is broken down into a few steps:
- Planning
- Set up workpaper
- Schedule the games
- Verify the accuracy of the schedule
- Create the open office file
- Save with the correct file names
- Test in game

Some schedules can be created in a few hours; some take a long time over several days. The key is to figure out what type of schedule you want and plan out as much as you can before you start scheduling.

I will do a step by step process of how I create a schedule from a real schedule request. I hope that by doing this more people will be able to make schedules.

First, you find a schedule that needs to be created. This looks like the oldest schedule request I haven't attempted.

I will post replies to this thread to show how I go about setting this up:

Schedule Request for Victorious Baseball Association

Hi! I'm the commissioner of the VBA and was wondering if someone could make the following schedule for me:

A 10 team 162 game schedule
6 games every week
Everyone plays in 1 day or no one plays in 1 day
Everyone plays at the same time each day

Thanks!

Ian
