36T/162G Balanced Schedule Request

Kvetch_22 · 09-21-2023, 11:18 AM

Looking for a 36 team, 2SL, 6/6/6 + 6/6/6 schedule that involves home/away series against every team in the league so I can see all the nice ballpark and uniform assets I have in my league on rotation.

Breakdown looks like this:

- 162 games total, 81H/81A

- 42 Division games, each team plays one home and one road series against all five division opponents, with the series being 4H/4A for three opponents and 4H/5H and 5H/4H for the other two. (9+9+8+8+8=42).

- 48 SL games, with one 2G home and one 2G road series against the twelve same-league teams. (4*12=48)

- 72 Interleague games, with one 2G home and one 2G road series against the eighteen interleague teams. (4*18=72)

Just to make sure my math is right, 42+48+72 = 162.

No preference on game times or ASB. Start preferably on April 1 with about 180-185 days in the schedule to leave room for off days.

Much appreciated to anyone who can help!

I'm currently planning a 6 in division/5 in subleague/4 interleague schedule with very similar properties, but that might be too balanced for your tastes. It's still a long way off, in any case.

First, I thought this would be fairly easy… Plan the Intra-division, plan the Interleague. Then when I planned the Inter-division, I realized this would not be that easy. When 6 teams of a division play against 6 teams of another division, that leaves the 3rd division to play Intra-division at the same time. Since Inter-division is 2-game series and Intra-division is 4 or 5-game series, I thought this would not work…

But then, I figured that Instead of being Intra-division, it could be Interleague… Then it all worked out!

36 team schedule, 162 games
Designed for the following configuration:
2 subleagues, each with 3 divisions,
subleague divisions with 6 teams
9 or 8 games against other 5 teams in division
4 games against other 12 teams in league
4 games against all the teams in the other subleague

No cases of more than 15 straight days without offday
No homestands or roadtrips longer than 13 games
Game times set at 7:05pm 1:05pm 4:05pm Sunday games at 1:05pm
Season begins last Thursday on or after March 28
Season thus ends late September/early October
All-Star Game set for Tuesday of 16th week of season (early-mid July)
