The basic idea here is that I'm going to do a fictional historical league, and when the league goes into its expansion era, they're going to lengthen the schedule somewhat.

I'm looking for schedules for three distinct stages:

24 team stage
2 subleagues; 2 divisions per subleague, 6 teams per division

100 division games:
-6 series vs each opponent (3 home, 3 away)
-each series is 3 games, with the occasional 4-game series as needed
-20 games against each opponent (though if it's easier to include some variation in # of matchups, that's fine)

36 subleague games:
-2 series vs each opponent (1 home, 1 away)
-each series is 3 games
-6 games against each opponent

36 interleague games:
-all against corresponding division (e.g. AL West vs NL West)
-2 series vs each opponent (1 home, 1 away)
-each series is 3 games
-6 games against each opponent

Other notes:

-season starts on first Friday on or after March 21 (i.e. first Friday of Spring)

-All Star Game ~140 games into the season; each team has ~30-35 games post-All Star Break (I want All Star selections to represent a fuller body of work than we typically see after only half a season)

-Anywhere in the realm of 10-20 days off scattered throughout the schedule would be great; if this makes it overly complicated, however, feel free to skip.

30 team stage
2 subleagues; 3 divisions per subleague, 5 teams per division

72 division games:
-6 series vs each opponent (3 home, 3 away)
-each series is 3 games
-18 games against each opponent

60 subleague games:
-2 series vs each opponent (1 home, 1 away)
-each series is 3 games
-6 games against each opponent

40 interleague games:
-all against corresponding division (e.g. AL West vs NL West)
-2 series vs each opponent (1 home, 1 away)
-each series is 4 games
-8 games against each opponent

Other notes:

-season starts on first Friday on or after March 21 (i.e. first Friday of Spring)

-All Star Game ~140 games into the season; each team has ~30-35 games post-All Star Break (I want All Star selections to represent a fuller body of work than we typically see after only half a season)

-Anywhere in the realm of 10-20 days off scattered throughout the schedule would be great; if this makes it overly complicated, however, feel free to skip.

36 team stage
2 subleagues; 3 divisions per subleague, 6 teams per division

70 division games:
-4 series vs each opponent (2 home, 2 away)
-mix of 3-game & 4-game series
-series laid out ideally as Home 3 + Home 4 + Away 3 + Away 4, for a total of 14 games against each opponent
-feel free to adjust the series as needed, even if this means playing some opponents more than others; what matters here is the 70 game total for division games

72 subleague games:
-2 series vs each opponent (1 home, 1 away)
-each series is 3 games
-6 games against each opponent

30 interleague games:
-all against corresponding division (e.g. AL West vs NL West)
-2 series vs each opponent (1 home, 1 away)
-mix of 2- and 3-game series
-I originally envisioned teams playing each opponent 5 times (a 2-game series and a 3-game series per opponent), but if it's easier to do a mix of 4 games vs some opponents and 6 games vs other opponents, that's also fine.

Other notes:

-season starts on first Friday on or after March 21 (i.e. first Friday of Spring)

-All Star Game ~140 games into the season; each team has ~30-35 games post-All Star Break (I want All Star selections to represent a fuller body of work than we typically see after only half a season)

-Anywhere in the realm of 10-20 days off scattered throughout the schedule would be great; if this makes it overly complicated, however, feel free to skip.

Thank you to anybody who chooses to take this on. If you're only able to create one of these schedules, that's totally fine! Also, if there are any parameters that are unclear, or that make the process significantly more difficult, let me know!

Wait, GMO? THE GMO? You're back?! I'd always assumed you'd been made up as some sort of a legend, like Paul Bunyan or something. Thank you for this!
