Created one for you tonight, have it in excel will put it in lsdl format before monday.

To avoid having a team play their 6 games against the same inter league opponent, I made sure the leagues are not a duplicate of each other. I was thinking of only having 2 game series for the interleague games. and then at the allstar break have the game played on Wed and then a 2 game interleague series to kick off the second half. This allows for more matchups.(3 instead of 2) I also will give you a schedule and then I was thinking of a template to change the matchups yearly (interleague). I would have a schedule with all teams in the file with %(teamnumber). You can then put the file into notepad and just edit it to change the %(num) to whatever number you want. You simply change the number %1-15 to 1-15 in any order, and %16-30 to 16-30 any order. This will give you a different interleague matchup yearly. Could even edit all the %1-15 number to 16-30 and %16-30 to 1-15. Just one issue with having 2 game series for the interleague is that you will have 4/2 or 2/4 with the matchups each season unless i schedule 2 one game series or a homea and away series. I can give you 2 to start with the schedules flipped to even things out and then give you 2 templates that are flipped and all you need to do is make sure you write down what values you changed the team number to and make sure you do the same for both files (make sure you make a copy of the templates and just don't overwrite them) Let me know what you think.

Hey you are the man doing the work for me with this. Make up a schedule you think looks good and my guess is that it will. Cheers

I hope you like it. I loaded it into OOTP and it looks good, ran a few seasons and I did not see issues. I like the idea of the template because it allows you to have different interleague opponents every year. I am new here and I wondered why no one has done the template idea. I had to scrap the 2/2/2 plan for the interleague could not fit the games in properly. Also I am more of a schedule modifyer rather than creator, but know excel well. For this schedule I found a 16 game schedule, took the team 16 game and just deleted the 16. Took the first schedule and put it into another sheet, changing the values of the team number using a lookup table. Just took one group from sheet 1, one from sheet 2 (random) and created a combined record. Used a check sheet for the interleague game to make sure that no teams played each other more than once and that each team had one home and one away. The interleague selection was the hard part. So the division matchups were from a file not created me, but the order of the games were changed by me and inter league put into the mix.

The template mainly is useful to change the interleague matchups, since it is balanced in subleague all the template will do is change the dates the teams play each other. The template is used by the game player. I have a schedule creator that creates the lines I don't put the team numbers in it, but the template numbers. I then have a lookup table that changes the value in the spreadsheet a new value that I set in the lookup. I did not want to upload this because there would be a lot of questions and it is easier for the game player to use edit and replace in notepad.
