I noticed on another thread that someone did a 60 team schedule on a request and I thought it would be fun to do one for my own collection and to share here for the schedule list.

I wanted to mainly play division games and with only 5 teams in a division it meant that I could not keep homegame series and roadtrips to a MLB standard. While I tried to keep the series to 7-13 games there are some shorter and longer series. This was happened because with 4 teams playing in any given series that lead to only 3 options: (1-2 3-4/1-3 2-4/1-4 2-3)

The schedule is setup for 108 divisional games, 30 non-division and 24 interleague for a 162 season fitting nicely in a standard 182 day/26 week schedule. 26 weeks(52 series) the schedule broke down to 40 series played division with 1 game per division outside division, 2 series non-division games only and 4 weeks of interleague series. This came out to 50 of the 52 series with games leaving 1 full week for the all-star break.

Well anyway here is the schedule with the comments in the file.
I have also attached the excel file I used to build this schedule in case someone wanted to see how it was done.

Please let me know what you think of this format and the schedule in general. This is the first schedule I have created from scratch in over 7 years and it was very challenging - not a cookie cutter schedule at all - all custom.
