24-team, 200-game schedule

24 teams, 200 games, unbalanced with interleague

Hello. It's me again.

I need a few schedule files if that's okay.

Both schedule files have the same basic structure.

2 subleagues
3 divisions in each subleague
4 teams in each division
200 game schedule

Season starts first Tuesday on or after March 14
Season therefore ends first Wednesday on or after October 25 (think I got the dates right)

This is for a "world" league so it would be preferable to have 2 or more offdays before starting and after finishing interleague play.

H/A numbers mean home and away games per opponent

In schedule 1:

SL1 plays:
20 games against each of 3 division opponents: 60 total (10H/10A)
13 games against each of 8 nondivision opponents: 104 total (6-7H/6-7A)
3 games against each of 12 teams in the other subleague: 36 total (all away)

SL2 plays:
28 games against each of 3 division opponents: 84 total (14H/14A)
10 games against each of 8 nondivision opponents: 80 total (4-6H/4-6A)
3 games against each of 12 teams in the other subleague: 36 total (all home)

In schedule 2, the subleagues switch the division/nondivision ratios, so now SL1 gets to play 28 divisional/10 nondivisional games and all their interleague games at home, while SL2 takes SL1's schedule.

Please list the file as an unbalanced schedule in the file itself.

The schedules will alternate years between schedules 1 and 2 in my league. The reason for the 2 separate schedules is I don't want a team going Australia-to-Mexico-to-Japan or something similar. The all-home/all-away fixes that. It does mean one subleague's teams have only 82 home games while the other subleague's teams have 118, but they switch the next year!
