Schedule Request 32 Teams - 160 Games

[jpeters1734]

Hello schedule makers! I have a request, possibly a challenge for you if you have the desire. It's a little complex for me to make.

I have 32 teams, 2 SL with 4 divisions each (8 divisions total with 4 teams in each).

Here is the schedule block:

Own division: two 4-game series (1 home/1 away). 24 total games
Same sub-league division 2: two 3-game series (1 home/1 away). 24 total games
Same sub-league division 3: two 3-game series (1 home/1 away). 24 total games
Same sub-league division 4: two 3-game series (1 home/1 away). 24 total games

Other sub-league division 1: two 2-game series (1 home/1 away). 16 total games
Other sub-league division 2: two 2-game series (1 home/1 away). 16 total games
Other sub-league division 3: two 2-game series (1 home/1 away). 16 total games
Other sub-league division 4: two 2-game series (1 home/1 away). 16 total games

Total season length: 160 games.

This is how I see the season playing out from the perspective of a team in SL1D1:
Games 01-12 SL1D2
Games 13-24 SL1D3
Games 25-36 SL1D4
Games 37-48 SL1D1
Games 49-56 SL2D1
Games 57-64 SL2D2
Games 65-72 SL2D3
Games 73-80 SL2D4
Games 81-88 SL2D1
Games 89-96 SL2D2
Games 97-104 SL2D3
Games 105-112 SL2D4
Games 113-124 SL1D2
Games 125-136 SL1D3
Games 137-148 SL1D4
Games 149-160 SL1D1

There should be a day off after each divisional block. I'm not overly concerned about game times. All-star break (4 days) is after game 96.

Big thank you to whoever takes this on!

I finally got to my preseason and loaded this up. It's perfect, big thanks again!

I did have a weird issue with the all-star game not being scheduled during the 4-days off, but i fixed it by turning off the AS game, importing, and manually setting the date.

That was my mistake on the ASG. I did not have the allstar_game_day="107" in the SCHEDULE line at the top of the file. Good to know the manual intervention you did got it to add.

I have updated the attachment for future downloaders. As long as it works from season-to-season I would stick with what you have done rather than re-loading the new version which would re-assert all the original matchups as in the file.
