162 games. 32 teams, interleague, four versions

[Iu29]

32 team schedule, 162 games
Designed for the following configuration:
2 subleagues, each with 3 divisions, each with 5 or 6 teams

6 games against 15 other teams in own subleague (3H/3A)

4 or 5 games against other subleague's teams (2H/2A or 3H/2A or 2H/3A)

Two leagues are essentially mirror images of each other, except that some of the off days are different

No cases of more than 20 straight days without offday

No homestands or roadtrips longer than 14 games

All game times on Monday through Friday set at 7:05pm, except for some Friday games

Season begins first Monday on or after April 1
Season thus ends late September

All-Star Game set for first Tuesday on or after July 4

Weekends, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and some Friday games start at 2:05 PM

Off days only on Monday through Thursday

Some Friday games are day games to prevent having a night game, followed the next day by a day game at a different ballpark

There are four different schedules. If all four schedules are used in sequence, then each team will play all teams in the other subleague the same number of times, with half the games at home and half
# on the road, over a four-year period

Why is this tagged as BGN?

[Iu29]

The schedules are tagged as BGN (Balanced Games- No) because each individual schedule is unbalanced, but if you rotated between all four of the schedules, it would be balanced in regard to games vs. the opposite subleague over a four-year period. I think there is a way to have the game automatically rotate the four schedules, but I don;t remember how it is done. Could someone please refresh my memory?

I made an error in the notes in the schedule headers- Labor Day and Memorial Day games are not day games; disregard the part about those two days being day games (but you can make those day's games day games if you want).
