Problem with Stickware Schedule Generator

[Mat Dog]

I try to generate a schedule and I always have an error like...

-is not a valid date
-I/O error 32

...event when I keep the original settings.

Can someone tell me what can I do?

Thanks, Mat

Never got the error myself. I would most likely redownload the utility and try again.

I look at the Schedule Generator, and it states it is for OOTP 4. Can anyone confirm or deny whether or not this program would safely work for adjusting an OOTP 5 schedule? Or is there a different program out there to use?

I hate the game schedule. All those 1 game series late in the season are awful.

Thanks,

The scheduler was designed for OOTP4, but it works for OOTP5 just fine. I've never had a problem with it myself and I've used it many times. The only thing it cannot do is generate schedules for 4 Divisions.

Or a single league. You have to have two leagues.

I did find a workaround for leagues with odd number of teams that will play inter league schedules.

Start the league as a 'one league' setup with, for example, 10 teams.

Create the schedule.

Then add another league in OOTP, create 5 'blank' teams in the new league.

Swap those 5 'blanks' for 5 teams in the other league.

Then delete the 5 'blank' teams.

There you have a two league setup with 5 teams in each league with a schedule.

Of course this won't work if you are not playing an interleague schedule.

Your computer is set for non American date types.

Make sure your date selected (or typed) is in MM/DD/YYYY format.

that will solve your problem
