Special request for 153G 16T schedule

GiantYankee · 03-15-2017, 11:31 PM

I want to add 3 additional division games for a total of 15 games against the 7 other teams in the division to the GMO schedule linked below. I would like to have two schedules so that the teams with the three extra home games are rotated each season. Since I'm anal, I tried adding these games to the beginning of the season within the 'edit league schedule' tab. When I did a test sim of the season, no games were played. When I looked at the lsdl file, the games I scheduled were at the top but listed as day=152 for example. I'm asking if someone could add these games for me or tell me the best way to go about what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks in advance.

I put this into excel and added 25 days, 14 in front of the schedule and 11 at the end to get the standard 182 days. Schedule would still start on a Friday 2 weeks earlier than the one you have now and will end 1 and a half weeks later. This will give you the games required in a standard MLB schedule. Give me a bit I am working on it now, but I never tried this before.

I will also create a second schedule. I think I can just move the home games to the away and this will reverse the games.

I will have this to you as soon as I can.

Here are the schedules. These were tougher to modify than I thought they would be. It took me a while how to figure out how to put the quotes in a concatenate formula. I just put them in there own column and it worked. The format is a lot different than the game I am playing now.

I have the first 7 days with the same home teams and the last 7 days with the home teams being the away teams from the first 7 days.

I do not have the game yet so I could not test these, but I used the schedule you had as a reference and I think it should work. If it is not right let me know and I will fix it or if an experienced schedule maker will take a look at it I would appreciate it.

Thanks for taking this on, but unfortunately the schedule won't load.

I am an idiot. I tried to fix this mess in excel and I could not figure it out. The error was that I some how inserted curved quotation marks in the file. I could not figure out how to replace them in excel. I then tried notepad to just replace the characters and could not find the curved on the keyboard. Stupid me, figured out I could just cut the curved characters and put it in the find and then the straight quotes in the replace. Worked like a charm. I am sorry I about this mistake. I really don't have much experience with this kind of stuff but thought it would be fun to try. Anyhow here are the correct schedules. I still don't have the game, waiting for OOTP18 to come out so I could not test this. If they are wrong this time just let me know. Sorry....
