NFL Schedules

[NYY #23]

I wanted to share these schedules in case anyone is interested. These are set-up for two sub leagues/four divisions/four teams per division. Each team plays a 16 game schedule (Sunday only) with a bye week built in.

I took the actual NFL schedules from 2002-2014 and created the xml files for each of the seasons. You can unzip these into the schedules folder and these should get picked up and rotated automatically. Interleague needs to be set to Y, balanced games N, Force Start on certain weekday to Sunday, and season start date to 4/22.

I went through about 15 years and things seemed to be working well, making sure games were only being played on Sundays, and spot checking a couple teams schedules per year.

I didn't go through and schedule any Thursday or Monday games. Start time is set to 1pm for most games, and 4:05 for the West divisions.

Just a warning for those of you who aren't NFL fans, the 2011 schedule was kind of screwy because of the lockout. While no games were canceled, the bye weeks were laid out oddly because of it.

(also, how was 2008/Hurricane Ike handled?)

The byes were put in where they were actually played, so Baltimore and Houston had their byes in week 2 in 2008.
