32-team 2-subleague 2-division

[profsnape]

May I please request a set of 32-team (4 divisions of 8 teams each), 162-game schedules that work like this:

14 games (two 3-game series and two 4-game series) each against 7 division opponents = 98 games
6 games (two 3-game series) each against 8 league opponents = 48 games
2 games (one 2-game series) each against 8 interleague opponents from one division = 16 games, 8 home and 8 away

98 + 48 + 16 = 162 games

2-game series can be scheduled in pairs with no off days in between, to become equivalent of a 4-game series.

Total:
2 * 7 + 2 * 8 = 30 (3-game) series
2 * 7 = 14 (4-game) series
1 * 8 = 8 (2-game) series (equivalent to 4 4-game series)

If possible, please put the all-star break right at half-way of the season. Before the all-star break, each team will have 15 (3-game) series, 7 (4-game) series and 4 (2-game) series. Same with after the all-star break.

Some additional requirement, if not too troublesome:
Please create 4-versions so that interleague games rotate with the 2 divisions and then flip the home and aways.
Please make sure no interleague games are scheduled in the final 2 or 3 weeks of the season.

Thanks in advance.

First thoughts through the math involved has me thinking that actually the interleague 2-game series would be best left as individual series and not paired. Would that be okay?

The pairing takes things down to 48 series-equivalents, and 52 would actually be consistent with what MLB does now. What I would do is position the 2-game series early in weeks and try to prefer toward 4-game series later in those weeks.

I went ahead and did this as I suggested with individual 2-game series. I think I have the 4 versions done with the variation in which division is played interleague and the home/away matchups in them. A couple teams spot checked out correctly, but I did not go through everything with a fine-toothed comb.

Thank you very much gmo. Leaving interleague ones as individual rather than paired is definitely fine. Thanks again.
