Schedule Request: 14 Teams (1S/2D/7T) - 76 Games (Thurs-Sun ONLY)

[VendableWorm4]

This league consists of 14 teams split evenly between within 1 sub-league with 2 divisions holding 7 teams each.

Teams will play a 76 game season:
- 8 games against each team in the same division (4H/4A)
- 4 games against each team in opposite division (2H/2A)
- Series dates will force start on Thursday of each week and run through Sunday (M/Tu/W reserved for off days and makeup scheduling)

Schedule Configuration:
- Teams will play 2 games against each non-division opponent to start the season (either 2H or 2A). Teams will then play a home or away 4-game series against each division opponent. Please repeat this trend (not in the exact same order if possible) for the 2nd half of the season so each half ends with higher stress divisional games.
-Each team will play one 2-game series on Thursday/Friday (1st half OR 2nd half) and one 2-game series on Saturday/Sunday vs each non-division team (1st half OR 2nd half)

- Thursday/Friday games will start at 7:10pm EST
- Saturday games will start at 4:10pm EST
- Sunday games will start at 1:10pm EST

- Regular season starts first week in May and should last 19 weeks exactly

- No All-Star Game

If you need me to further clarify details about the league or simplify it if it's not possible to create, please let me know

Thank you very much for your time and help again!

With 7 teams per division it is not possible to have all teams playing only division games at the same time. So let me know what you think about these options.

One option is to have one team at a time not playing during division play while the other 6 teams match up among each other. That would add two weeks to the season duration besides the quirk of one team in each division being off during division play.

Another option is to have the left out team from a division play its matchups against the left out team from the other division during that time. The season duration would not be extended in that case since no teams are ever off for a week, though as noted further below there may still be need to add length.

Those interdivision games during otherwise division play would need to be one team hosting Thu/Fri and the team hosting Sat/Sun. Those interdivision games would also mean taking care of two of the interdivision opponents outside of the other interdivision play. Instead of playing all seven to start each half it would mean playing only five opponents in those stretches.

Whether it was five or seven opponents in those interdivision stretches, how should those games be distributed? I assume the Thu-Sun should be 2-game series against two opponents. Having an odd number (either five or seven) of such opponents means one extra 2-game series that cannot be paired up. Each half could start with a single Sat/Sun 2-game series, though that would mean the season duration needs to be a week longer.
