- if you don't like the schedule, re-roll it. You can do this in the league edit.
- consider changing the amount of games in a season back to 80, 78 or even 76. You may get different results as well.

This is back to back months, at the beginning of the season, of a dynasty I am playing and posting in the dynasty forum. 11 back to backs in 2 months. That's 22 games that are part of a back to back out of 28 games played. It has nothing to do with rerolling, this should not even be possible. Now, look carefully at the schedule, easily 10 of the 11 back to backs weren't necessary. While I agree it adds some strategy to have some back to back games, I think 78%+ of your games being part of back to backs is a little bit too high. If you say the average was 15 back to backs in the NHL schedule last year, I'll believe that. That's 30 out of 82 games, or about 36%. If you get it where it's near 36%, and not more than DOUBLE that number (78%), I'd understand.
Simply, the scheduling algorithm needs to be worked on.
