I actually mean 2 divisions with 8 teams in each subleague. It's a personal preference because of how I set up my playoffs.
I suspected that it would be easier to schedule as if there were 4/4, though. Designating 3 teams as "rivals" or some such. I get to keep my playoff structure, but get the ease of scheduling as if it were 4/4.
After tooling around with this some more, I suspect it might be easier to play
54 games against 3 division "rivals" 9 home/9 away each [18 3-game series]
96 games against other 12 subleague opponents 4 home/4 away each [24 4-game series? or some combination of 2 & 4-game series?]
12 games against 4 interleague opponents, rotating on a yearly basis [4 3-game series]
(play 4 teams each year, home/away wrinkles meaning 8 versions needed)
So with this tweak, it would end up
18 division rivals 3-game series
30 subleague series [18 4-game series, 12 2-game series]
4 interleague 3-game series
52 total series in 53 half-weeks
