but when you say 7-9 games or 20-21 games does it change each year the amount of games played? why not a set number?
Since people in general tend to prefer All-Star Games over not when they are possible for a given league configuration I prefer to put in a break. It is easy for you to remove the game, but there would still be the few day break.

The variable numbers indicate the range in the number of games since it does not always work and often does not work nicely if exactly the same number of games is played against each type of opponent. For division opponents it would be 20 games against one and 21 games against the other two. That will always be the same each season, but which teams fit in which slots varies randomly year to year. Similarly the 7-9 per interdivision means teams play interdivision opponents from 7 to 9 times. It so happens to be the plan here is to play half 7 times and half 9 times.
