34t 2sl sl1 4/4/4/4 sl2 4/5/4/5 NO IL?

[gehrig38]

I can arrange SL2 to be however a potential already made schedule is laid out. can go 6/4/4/4 5/5/4/4 or whatever

Any shot someone has one floating around?
Heavily leaning on Division play no IL no DH.
Just got a memo from the league that they are expanding and I'd like to have a legitimate schedule to use for it.

[gehrig38]

Gonna assume that means no one has one or can make one. No worries!

[Kirby Paquette]

Is there still interest for this?

SL1 look fairly easy to do. SL2 is more of a challenge. I don't think I can do 4545. I can try 5544 but the 5 team division is a bit complicated. I almost have to consider it as a 10 team division.

I can also try 6444, it is easier. The 18 team SL can not be as heavy in divisional matchup as the 16 team SL.

I have just a prepare a Matrix showing all the matchups that I could do for the schedule... if there is still interest, of course.

[gehrig38]

That looks awesome. I've made one, took FOREVER, but still haven't been able to play it since I past the pre-season. Plan on implementing next year so anything you have would be GREATLY appreciated.

ILN BGN
SL 1 Div play is 4/4/3 H 4/4/3 A and 4H 4A vs all non Div
SL 2 Div play 5T Div 4/4/3 H 4/3/3 A alt each team and 3H 3 A vs all non Div
SL 2 Div play 4T Div 4/3/3/3 H 4/3/3/3 A and 3H 3A vs all non div

[Kirby Paquette]

I had a lot of trouble with the SL2, I have to admit.

Fortunately, I went and dig in my stuff and found a 18 teams schedules that I have already done fitting the criteria. I ended up with a SL2 of 5,4,5,4.

I combined it with the 16 teams schedule that I had done also.

Here is the Matrix of what it will look like.

[Kirby Paquette]

I assume 4, 5, 4, 5 structure for the SL2.

Here are some details about the schedule:
34 team schedule, 162 games
Designed for the following configuration:

2 subleagues, each Subleague with 4 divisions,
SL1, All divisions with 4 teams
SL2, Divisions with 4,5,4 and 5 teams

SL1
4-team divisions
26 games against other teams in division (13H/13A)
12 games against the other teams of 1 division (6H/6A)
6 games against the teams of the other 2 divisions (3H/3A)

SL2
4-team divisions
26 games against other teams in division (13H/13A)
6 games against the teams of the other divisions (3H/3A)

5-team divisions
22 (12H/10A or 10H/12A) or 24 (12H/12A) games against other teams in division
6 games against the teams of the other divisions (3H/3A)

No cases of more than 13 straight days without offday

No homestands or roadtrips longer than 10 games

Game times set at 7:05pm 1:05pm 2:05pm 4:05pm with One Sunday game at 8:05pm

Season begins last Thursday on or after March 28
Season thus ends late September/early October

All-Star Game set for Tuesday of week 15 (Early July)

I also made a second one that fits a 5, 4, 5, 4 structure. I have tested the first one and it ran alright.



There was an error in the Schedules. I have corrected and tested them. You can find them a bit below.

[gehrig38]

Awesome! Greatly appreciated!!!

[gehrig38]

BTW SL2 is 5454.

[gehrig38]

Also curious as to why you didn't do 4/4 H/A in SL1 for all non-division opponents? Rather than 12 vs 1 division 6 vs the rest.

[Kirby Paquette]

...why you didn't do 4/4 H/A in SL1 for all non-division opponents?

I like to do my schedules "MLB style" (I learn it from GMO, you can read his blog if it interest you https://makingbaseballschedules.blogspot.com), meaning spanning over 26 weeks (or 26 1/2 weeks including the Allstar break), meaning 52 series (2 series/week), meaning 46 3-game series and and 6 4-game series. There are to many non-divisional series to be all 4-game series (there would be 8 games/week).

And I had a variation of that schedule (SL1) already done. And truthfully, I spent lot of time banging my head on the SL2 schedule.

I also noticed that you have another thread requesting a very odd schedule. I look into it and I first thought it was impossible to make. But I think I nailed it. I might post it soon.

BTW SL2 is 5454.

The title of the thread says otherwise. Anyway, I made both case.

[gehrig38]

Yea, I made the mistake in the thread title. Sincerely appreciate the work, I made a schedule like I said, but it took me a LONG time to iron it out. Especially forcing the series to not lap over to the next week. It's a combination of 2-3 and 4 game series. It needs tweaking but it's done.
again thanks a ton, really appreciate the effort, I know how hard it was.

[darkcloud4579]

This is perfect for me because it means I can expand my 30-league from 32 to 34 to 36 gradually. So thanks for the work.

[gehrig38]

Not sure how to fix this. There are some issues with # of games vs opponents in and out of the division

[Kirby Paquette]

There's nothing to fix there. I just did not write the description properly. Here's what it should be:

SL1
4-team divisions
26 (13H/13A) or 20 (10H/10A) games against other teams in division
12 games against the other teams of 1 division (6H/6A)
6 games against the teams of the other 2 divisions (3H/3A)

SL2
4-team divisions
26 games against other teams in division (13H/13A)
6 games against the teams of the other divisions (3H/3A)

5-team divisions
22 (12H/10A or 10H/12A) or 20 (10H/10A) games against other teams in division
6 games against the teams of the other divisions (3H/3A)

Were you expecting each team to play the same number of games inside their division? The structure don't work that way.

[Kirby Paquette]

After looking carefully at the picture you have posted, I noticed 1 team plays 84 games away and 78 games at home. This is a mistake I have made. I have corrected it. So here are the new 2 corrected schedule.

My apologies...

[gehrig38]

Hey! Ok, I went through the schedule day by day to get it closer to balanced as I could.
SL2 the 18 team league, is perfect. The 5 team divisions play 21 divisional games and 6 vs each non-div opponent
The 4 team divisions go 26 vs each division opponent and 6 vs non Division.
The 5 team alternate 10/11 H/A between the 4 other teams so they end up 81/81 H/A.
I went in and tweaked a bunch to keep the off days limited to Mondays and Thursdays with a rare exception I think.
I also added D/N DH's for every team, not many but a couple and with an eye towards off days pre-September so no one gets caught with their pants down.
Though in my league the roster size expanded to 26 so if I am not carrying 3 Catchers I'm carrying 13 pitchers.

I am going to use this schedule for the coming season and will work on fixing SL 1 to be 22G vs Div and 8 v Non-Division for next year.

[Kirby Paquette]

SL 1 Div play is 4/4/3 H 4/4/3 A and 4H 4A vs all non Div
SL 2 Div play 5T Div 4/4/3 H 4/3/3 A alt each team and 3H 3 A vs all non Div
SL 2 Div play 4T Div 4/3/3/3 H 4/3/3/3 A and 3H 3A vs all non div

I Look carefully at your set up I don't think it's gonna work. In the SL2, too many occasion 4-games series (in 5-Team divisions) has to be played at the same time as 3-game series. That would force some teams to take 2 straight days off.

Also there are less 4-game series in the 4-Team division, leading to a "doublet" of 3-games series that need to be played while the 5-Team division are off.

I am posting a picture off all the matchups I came up with.

[gehrig38]

Ya, the only way it can be done is break down series to some 2 gamers as well
