Request: 108G 40 Team 8x5

[Lordofbrewtown]

Looking for some help/requesting a 108 game schedule for 1 sub-league, 8 divisions of 5 teams each. 3 game series, Average 1 off day per week, and no all-star game.

Play each team in your division 12 times (1x4x12 = 48).
Play each team in 4 of the other divisions 3 times (4x5x3=60).


Appreciate any help

[Lordofbrewtown]

Still hoping for some help on this. Is everyone using the custom schedule generator (is it easy to use?), or does the odd # of teams per division in this request make it a tough ask?

[Scipio Africanus]

I requested a schedule about 10 days ago and haven't received a response either. Maybe no one is here doing them any more.

Or perhaps we didn't perform the appropriate ritual sacrifice.

Fishbreath's schedule generator doesn't work well with odd teams per division.

This sub-forum has been a bit slow of late, I'll admit, but that may be because we have finally reached "peak schedule." There are hundreds - perhaps thousands - of schedules linked in the updated list. All the easy ones have already been done numerous times, so now we're at the point where the only ones left to do are the hard ones, like schedules with an odd number of teams in each division or league.

I'm not sure if our regular schedule-makers have packed it in. I'd like to help, but I don't make schedules - that's way beyond my capabilities. Instead, I just "translate" schedules from newspapers into OOTP format. So I'll just bump up this thread and hope that it catches the attention of someone who can help you guys out.

[Scipio Africanus]

My request certainly wasn't hard. It's a variation of the schedule OOTP can generate automatically. I just wanted the teams mixed up a bit so they didn't get scheduled in a repetitive order. It's not as fun to cycle through opponents in the same order all through the season. Unfortunately, that's what OOTP's auto-scheduler does.

Hopefully, they haven't quit/are only on a temporary break (& for 'good' type family reasons/vacation).

I've asked for some odd schedule before, and always received help, so the delay here was surprising (& somewhat concerning - I hope those community members who have helped in the past are doing well).

There is something wrong here...

What you suggest won't work.
Play each team in the division 12 times (4 teams X 12 Games = 48)
Then you probably mean Play each team in "3" other divisions 3 Times (15 teams X 3 Games = 45) for a total of 93 Games.

If I understand your setup, you want your team to play inside your division and against 3 other division. Your team won't play against the remaining 4 divisions, am I right?

So I suggest the following: Play each team in the division 12 times (4 teams X 12 Games = 48). Play each team in 1 other divisions 6 Times (5 teams X 6 Games = 30). Play each team in 2 remaining divisions 3 Times (10 teams X 3 Games = 30). Total is 108 Games. I can look into building this schedule if it is what you want.

Here is the matrix showing the set up.

No. You have the 'in division' part correct = 48 games.
However, I want to play each team in "4" other divisions 3 times. That should be 4 divisions, x 5 teams = 20 other teams, 3 games each = 60 games. 60+48 = 108 games total.

I think that should work? Appreciate any help.

[Kirby Paquette]

Is this what you're thinking?

I can look into that. If it works, I can make a mirror image of the Schedule (so 2 schedules) to balance the "home" and "away" for each team.

[Lordofbrewtown]

Yes, that looks right - I'd really appreciate it!!!!

[Kirby Paquette]

Here are the schedules There are 4 schedules to allow each team to at least meet 1 time (I have also included the matrix showing the matchups).

I have made 4 mirror images of the 4 schedules to allow "Away" games to become "Home" games.

Here are the details:

40 team schedule, 108 games

Designed for the following configuration: 1 subleague, with 8 division, with 5 teams
12 games against each team in the same division
3 games against all the team of 4 other divisions

No cases of more than 6 straight days without offday

No homestands or roadtrips longer than 15 games (except one team that plays a series of 18 games straight away or at home)

Game times set at 7:05pm, Sunday at 1:05pm

Season begins last Monday on or after May 7, Season thus ends mid/late September

[Kirby Paquette]

I realized this could be good for 2 Subleagues with Inter-League.
Here's the schedule pack.

[Kirby Paquette]

I came up with the following set up as well. I am not sure if it make real "geographic" sense in your Baseball world but it works!

[Lordofbrewtown]

Thanks!!! I've downloaded and will test. Upon initial view, this looks good.
