Schedule Request

[surly manservant]

Hi, I'd love some help with a schedule for my fictional Australian league. The league has 20 teams in 4 divisions of 5 teams each. I'm looking for a schedule with the following characteristics:


All games played in 3 match series. All matches played on Tue - Thu and Fri - Sun (Monday league off day).


138 game season with each team playing 4 (2 home, 2 away) series vs division rivals and 2 (1 home 1 away) series v non division rivals. Tue - Thu games all start at 1905. Friday start 5 games at 1605 and 5 games at 1905. Sat and Sun start 3 games at 1305, 3 at 1605 and 4 at 1905. No all star game. As it's Australia season starts on first Friday in October.


Each team will play 2 series per week, 69 home 69 away, 48 v division and 90 v non division.


Thanks!

The above is a variation on https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...04#post5187104. Squeezed out the All-Star Break and flipped some home/away matchups.

The one particular thing not matching the request is October 1 start day. The above has April 1 instead because I am not sure how well the game handles wrapping around the year-end. But it is trivial to change the start_month="4" to start_month="10" at the top of the file.
