2 Subleagues, Balanced Sched

sprague · 03-24-2013, 11:01 PM

For newcomers out there, this trick may help you if you want to have two subleagues, but have the teams play an equal number of games against each other.

step one is on the game setup- options page, to choose the number of games you want in your league. be sure balanced it checked. interleague is not important

step two is to go to the game setup screen
then edit league structure
on this screen make sure there are least 2 divisions on one of the leagues. if there is only one (say as in historical ml 1901-1960) then just create a new division.
step 3 move all the teams from one subleague into the new division.. delete the old subleague, now with no teams in it
click create schedule. there should now be a balanced sched of teams playing each other equally

the last step is to make a new subleague, and move the teams you just moved back to that league.

DO NOT CREATE A NEW SCHEDULE

delete any extra divisions that no longer have teams in them

voilla
note you will get a message when you go to the next day that says "league has changed schedule may be a problem" or whatnot- just ignore that message. play on. every year you will keep getting a balanced sched between the two leagues

of course if starting from teh new game screen. you can start as a 1 subleague, then follow the steps above simply moving teams to a new subleague and not creating a new schedule

anyway that may help someone out there

You should post this in the main forum so that it gets more exposure. Tremendous idea. This should work well with leagues that have different amounts of teams such 14 and 12...so that you can have interleague play--otherwise the game will not create the schedule.
