OK..Let's make it simple.

[sdw1000]

24 Teams / 2 SL / 2 Divisions / 6 teams per division. 17 games.

Interleague (preferably about 6 games). Each team only plays each other 1x. 1 game series.
No ASG. Season starts Apr 1, ends in Sept. (want the games
spread out over those months). Can have multiple games on Fri/Sat
No Sunday games. Games can start at 1PM ET. (I do use deadball teams and modern teams together, so I'll readjust for teams that don't have lights).

Any questions, let me know. Thanks.

A couple questions.

1. So you only have teams play against their division rivals once each? I would consider bumping that up to twice a year, increasing the schedule length to 22 games, to get rid of the awkward odd number and give the divisions a little more meaning. But that's obviously up to you.

2. When you say "Can have multiple games on Fri/Sat", does that mean league-wide? Like, there should only be one game across the whole calendar on any given M/T/W/Th?

3. Is it important to you for a team to always have a certain number of off days between games? As is, there's a game about once every 10 days, but if there's a minimum gap that you'd like to have I can probably make that happen

Well, I play out every game myself between all the teams. So limiting the number of games was my idea. Otherwise, it'd take me a year to play out a league. lol

But yes, division rivals only play once. But I am flexible I guess on that. I could go to 22. I did the uneven number to avoid teams being .500. Disregard the Fri/Sat thing. As for as days off, I envision teams playing 2-3 times a month but if I do that with 22 games, it probably goes up to 4-5 times a month. Anywhere from 5-10 days between games would be cool. But whatever you can come up with is fine. Thanks.

OK, this may do the trick.

----------
Schedule for 24 teams, 17 games - two divisions of 6 per subleague
Interleague YES, balanced games NO
----------
1 game against 5 division opponents (3H/2A or 2H/3A)
1 game against 6 league opponents (3H/3A)
1 game against 6 random interleague opponents (3 from each division; 3H/3A)
----------
Schedule begins on the first Monday in April and ends on a Saturday in mid-September
Games are spread out in such a way that teams usually play 2-3 games per month.
Gaps between games for a given team vary between 5 and 16 days, with the average being 9-10.
----------
Most days have between 0-2 games on the schedule, and there are no games on Sundays, but some days have as many as 4 games league-wide.
In total, there are between 7-10 games per week
All games begin at 1 PM local time

Dude....HELL YA. This is awesome. Exactly what I wanted. Hope it wasn't too hard. I'd buy you a beer if I could. Thanks so much! The Baseball Classic League lives on! Thanks again!

Thanks for your help in trying. It's a real peculiar request.

I am wondering if there's a way to tweak the schedules. Everything looks good except it will schedule like 4-5 home games at the beginning of the season, then schedule 5 away games at the end. Any way to break up the games like that?

[sdw1000]

I guess not...

Is it just those two series you want to edit? You can always just manually edit the first and last series of the season for everyone...

Edit League Schedule then do the editing...

No..all the teams seem to have games that have 4-6 games in a row of either home or away. I've tried going in and rearranging them but you do it for one team and messes the other team up.

[sdw1000]

Any way to edit the file so I can even out the home and away games?!

[sdw1000]

Anyone know how to edit schedules?

Do you mean where in the menu is it (see screenshot) or how not to have it be a pain to do... (answer, "It's always a pain")...

But one wouldn't. You'd load that schedule, edit it in the game editor, and then resave it as a revised schedule file. I can't imagine it's easier to align or adjust when editing lines of saved code.

When I need a custom schedule that the game can't do (like the 50 team, two division one I did), I work it out in Excel with formulas tracking the number of times an opponent meets another, number of home/away, etc. and then return to the editor and go day by day and build it out and save the end result. It was a few nights of work but doable. I'm sorry I don't know an easier way. Here's hoping others do.

[sdw1000]

It'd be easier of OOTP would make it so I can see each team's schedule in a list form NOT in a calendar so I can edit it.

Kinda like this..
