request for 30 team league

[trostol]

30 team league
2 Sub Leagues with 3 divisions of 5 each
156 games no interleague if at all possible
the idea is 96 games versus the teams in the division(4 home series and 4 away series) and 60 for every other team in league(1 home and 1 away series)...I think I calculated it right in terms of a balanced home and away schedule

please and thank you very much

No interleague is possible. But the odd number of teams in each subleague means at least one team must be off at all times. That means to season has to be longer to get all the games in since each halfweek is not "full".

One way here to claw back on the length is turn some of those four 3-game series against division opponents into three 4-game series. That increases the likelihood of going a longer time without an offday. The compensation for that comes in those instances where a given team is off while (likely) everyone else is playing.

Sacrificing some division games for some interleague allows for having all teams playing at a given time. Not that there are not offdays, but that teams do not have multiple offdays because they have no available opponent.
