First, I thought this would be fairly easy… Plan the Intra-division, plan the Interleague. Then when I planned the Inter-division, I realized this would not be that easy. When 6 teams of a division play against 6 teams of another division, that leaves the 3rd division to play Intra-division at the same time. Since Inter-division is 2-game series and Intra-division is 4 or 5-game series, I thought this would not work…
But then, I figured that Instead of being Intra-division, it could be Interleague… Then it all worked out!
