Question regarding league setup

[kenyan_cheena]

I have been thinking of creating a league where each sub-league is quite different, and was wondering how OOTP would handle it.

Sub-league 1

16 teams in two divisions of 8. 154 game schedule. Teams only play opponents in own division. Division champs in playoffs.

Sub-league 2

24 teams in four divisions of 6. 162 game schedule. Teams play 90 divisional games, plus 18 against two of the other divisions and 36 against one of the other divisions. Four division champs in playoffs.

So, the differences are schedule length for each sub-league, and the amount of playoff teams in each sub-league. What I'm trying to do, effectively, is have two different leagues taking place concurrently.

Would OOTP be able to handle this? Thanks.

If the amount of games is the same you would be able to do it otherwise i am 90% certain that it would not work.
now you might be able to delete the extra games from sub 1 manually and then it might.
where's lukas or bigrod?

Thanks for the reply. I made the post and then forgot about it. Appreciated. I'll probably run a test league to see how it handles it.

It's probably something you've considered already, but I believe your best bet would be to have two separate leagues within an association.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. The American and National leagues played a different number of games in 1961, and OOTP includes a major league schedule for 1961 that, I presume, works just fine.

I think your best bet would be to create a schedule for each sub league seperately, and save each in the schedule folder.
Then go into the schedule screen and import each for each separate sub league.

And they both should work fine year in year out after that.

Never knew that. cool.

The only thing is that you can only set one schedule length for the league as a whole so you have to deal with incorrect projections, magic numbers, etc.

Just use associations...
