Request: 60 games, 8 teams, 2 divisions, Fri/Sat/Sun ONLY
In the early 60s, ABC-TV suggested that the Major Leagues chop their schedules from 162 games down to just 60, all on the weekends...the better for their network to carry the games. This idea was, um, rejected.
But what if a third big league decided to do this? Well, I created the Continental League, an eight-team loop in two divisions that would begin in 1964 and play a 60-game schedule, with all games on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, plus Memorial Day and Labor Day. (Games would also be held on the 4th of July, but that fell on a Saturday in 1964.) Opening day would be mid-May (Friday, May 15 in '64) and run ~20 weeks, depending on when the holidays fall. (The idea is for the championship series to be done before the World Series starts.) Can you make such a schedule? Thanks!

With 2 divisions of 4 teams you could have teams play 12 games (four 3 game series) against teams within the division and 6 games (two 3 game series) against teams in the other division. This would add up to exactly 60 games. The schedule would look something like below. This would be quite easy to make.
