Promotion/Relegation Schedule Setup

RamMan12 · 08-23-2014, 08:07 AM

I am doing a dynasty report for a German baseball promotion/relegation league and I could use some help making a good schedule since for some reason, doing this is over my head.

I am hoping someone could help me make three schedules:
1: 100-game, 20-team league with games on Sat and Sun and Tues-Thurs
2: 104-game, 22-team league with games on the same days
3: 110-game, 24-team league with games on the same days

Btw, if I need to make some minor changes to make this work for someone I'm totally okay with it.

Why did you choose those season lengths, out of curiosity? I'd think a pro/rel setup should probably have a balanced schedule, but none of these would be.

You could get three balanced schedules by lengthening the season slightly:

20 teams, 114 games
22 teams, 126 games
24 teams, 138 games

(Each of those numbers would see each team play each other team six times.)

Just trying to keep the number down due to European baseball leagues playing few games. I have no interest in just a 40 or 50 game season so I am doubling it.

I don't mind going into more games if that makes it easier to schedule the days the way I choose.

It would probably be best to have the number of games end in a 2 or 8, because of the Sat-Sun/Tue-Thurs format. So 102/108/112 works better from a logistical standpoint.

I think using the auto schedule creator is probably the easiest.

Just pick 114 games (19 teams * 6 games) and set the series length to 3.
The system should create this pretty easily for you.
