Schedule request 2S/2D/6T 162 games

[SandlotBaseballCommish]

I've been looking but can't quite find what im looking for on here so i thought I'd toss this out there.

162 games
24 team league
2 sub
2 div each
6 teams each division

No interleague
Schedule imbalance with 18 versus division mates and 12 versus the other division

I want the league to always have opening day on a Sunday. I like to run the sims sunday to sunday. The regular schedule generation handles most of this ok but the offday situation ends up as total nonsense. We have teams with crazy 3 week road trips and such and then 2 offdays in the same week. Ideally I'd like that spaced out more. Thanks for the help.

I want to try to confirm some other details...

Do you want something that is basically like currently MLB in timeframe? I.e., starts end of March, ends around first of October, All-Star Game in early/mid July?

Then what about the weeks? You mention the first week should start on Sunday. Is that a special thing for just the first week or how all weeks should be?

MLB generally has a Monday through Sunday "baseball week" with an early week series, then a weekend series that ends on Sunday. When a team has an offday during a week it is usually a Monday (before the early week series) or a Thursday (before the weekend series), so there are always games Fri-Sun.

Are you looking for series to end on Saturday, basically shifting that "baseball week" back by a day?

Yea a normal timeframe for the season as a whole. and yes shifting the whole thing back by a day. If this is a total pain by all means just let me know and ill stick with the normal monday start.
