[Le Grande Orange]

Hi ross11,

When OOTP attempts to create a schedule for a league, it first checks the schedules folder to see if there are any existing schedule files which match the league parameters and schedule settings that have been selected. If it finds a match, it will import and use that existing schedule file. By default, for subsequent seasons, that same file is still used, but opponents are swapped around within the match-ups to create a new-looking schedule. If OOTP cannot find a matching existing schedule file, then it will generate from scratch an entirely new schedule file. Note that OOTP's built-in schedule generator is rudimentary, so any result will be quite basic (e.g. all teams have common off days), and for certain league parameters and schedule settings, it cannot generate a schedule at all.

With that background out of the way, full details will help narrow down potential causes, so please post the following: the exact settings you have enabled or specified on the relevant in-game screen; the file name of the schedule you are trying to use (if you are importing one, or if the game has imported a matching one). The easiest way might be to take a screenshot and post it up; or you could of course write it down and repeat it here.

You can open up the .lsdl schedule files in Wordpad, by the way: right-click on the file and select Wordpad as the opening program. It will open fine. Copy the header portion of the schedule file and post it here — that section contains data which must match what is specified in the league's settings in order for everything to work correctly.

The schedule process can be finicky, as even one small mismatch somewhere can cause odd results, so the more details you can provide the more it should be possible to isolate the issue.
