Hey all,

I've been building an NCAA baseball world, and having some trouble with schedules. I created an NCAA schedule, where games only occur on Friday/Saturday/Sunday, and sometimes Tuesdays. It also plays random round-robin opponents for the first 8 weeks of the season (30 games), and round-robin IN DIVISION ONLY series for the last 8 weeks (24 games).

I'm running in to some trouble with that last part. For instance, I have my ACC teams with TeamIDs 1-12, and I can set the schedule so they only play each other to end the regular season. It works great in year 1! But, after year 1, OOTP has functionality to 'shuffle' teams such that the schedule is not identical year-to-year. But, when TeamIDs are shuffled internally (and not outputted anywhere), I can't ensure the ACC teams play each other at the end of the season.

Has anyone come across this problem, and found a way around the schedule Team 'shuffling'?

Thanks!
