2024 LMB format REQUEST.

[PSUColonel]

The Mexican Baseball League in 2024 now has 1 sub league with two divisions and 10 teams in each division. Each team plays 102 games. This means each team in each division would play a home & away series (3 games) against each other divisional opponnet for a total of 54 games. The other game I imagine are against other teams in league.

What I found for the 2024 LMB schedule at...
https://www.wbsc.org/en/news/mexican...am-2024-season
https://img.mlbstatic.com/milb-image...kplejgbwdw.pdf
...was not exactly as described.

Teams play only 93 games, 31 series all of three games. With an odd number of games/series, teams have 3 more games (1 series) either home or away.

All division opponents are played in 3 series.

That leaves only 4 series outside the division, which occur consecutively immediately after the All-Star Break. Some teams play the same interdivision opponent in two series.

I will post that here.

There are not shortage of ways to make a 102 game schedule for that configuration if desired. A couple possibilities...

• Two series against each division opponent (54 games) and one or two series against each team in other division (48 games)
• Three series against each division opponent (81 games) and one series against seven of the teams in other division (21 games)

gmo, if I may, I'd like to piggyback a similar request on these schedules. Can you please make a schedule for a 20-team league (2 subleagues, 1 division each) with the following games:

# 9 games against 9 other teams in subleague (3-6H/3-6A)
# 3 games against 10 teams in other subleague (0-3H/0-3A)

That's 111 games by my count. I don't have any other specifications except I'd like an All-Star game near the middle of the season. Season start date, start times, etc. can be whatever is easiest for you. Thanks!
