csv is text too. export as csv but use the lsdl extension. (turn off auto-extension check box)
the key is the charcters that are included in the text format or in this case, not included, being important.
you'll notice that a " quatation mark sometimes has an orientation (start/end quotes)... the game won't handle something like that in the lsdl file correctly... they should just be simple vertical ' " ' as you likely see here (your browser may be forcing a different text format than mine). openoffice calc likes to export with the start/end quotes by default.
select the correct text formatting - Western Europe iso-8859-1 - and it should be fine... in Calc, you save as CSV, then "keep current format", then the top drop-down box on the next window should allow you to choose this.. defaults to "windowsblah blah" so, you do have to change it.
if not, you can do a "Find and Replace" within the text editor on your .lsdl file... you'll need to copy the inward and outward inflecting quotes and replace each with the correct quotation character (if you can't find any, open a working schedule file and copy one of them). After that, the game should be able to read it.
any other problems will relate to the title of the file and the header at the top of hte schedule file... i'd suggest keeping it simple in the header -- less conflicts possible... if all else fails, open a 'similar' shedule file and copy/paste that header portion. change # of teams or whatever is slightly different after you paste.
refer to manual for finer details on naming of the schedule files and tidbits about hte header portion.
