Well, that work is done, but the emergent effects I was hoping for haven't materialized. Fortunately, the scheduling runs much faster now, which means I can do more cross-checking as I go along. I may gain some ground by breaking the schedule up into chunks, based on how many teams can play, and how many teams need to play in certain kinds of action.
I'm may have to buckle down and do it the hard way—there are a few academic papers on algorithmic scheduling of complicated, time-constrained sports leagues, and I'll might need to have a look at those.
