I'm expanding my league to 34 teams in the next offseason and was wondering if anyone had a quick way to generate the schedule(s) I was hoping for. In the past when I expanded to 32 teams I created the schedule(s) by hand, which was not fun to say the least.
I know what I'm looking for is very specific and if its not do-able because of it, I apologize in advance.
My league structure will be SL1_D1_T4_D2_T4_D3_T4_D4_T5_SL2_D1_T4_D2_T4_D3_T4_ D4_T5 and I'm looking for a 166 game schedule.
In terms of schedule structure I'm looking for something very specific.
All games should start at 900.
All-Star break should be day 92, 93, 94, and 95.
Scheduling breakdown per team would look like the following:
Teams 13-17 & 30-34:
Division - 4 x 16 - 64
Sub League - 12 x 6 - 72
Interleague - 5 x 6 - 30
Total: 166
Teams 1-12 & 18-29:
Division -
4 x 16 - 64 You would only have 3 opponents not 4
Maybe you can change to 3x21 for 63 with an random game added in division, this will change your proposed schedule set up though, I think.
Sub League - 13 x 6 - 78
Interleague - 4 x 6 - 24
Total: 166
The idea for interleague is that SL1_D1 would play SL2_D2 in year 1 and then they would rotate so they play each division over the course of 4 years. This does require Teams 1-12 & 18-29 to drop the extra Subleague series when they play the 5 team division in interleague.
In our current schedule everyone shares off days. You play a 4 game divisional series and then two 3 game series against other subleague / interleague opponents. I'd like to keep that structure with the exception of the all-star break which will be sandwhiched between a 3 game series on each side.
I've included a link to a spreadsheet that I'm filling out that will hopefully visualize my ideas to a better extent. It can be found
here.
Hopefully someone is able / willing to help me put the 4 seasons into code. I'd even be willing to throw them a cash donation via PayPal for this assistance.
