AI Going to 3 Man Rotations

[Lordofbrewtown]

I have a 96 team promotion/relegation league with Playoffs (8 divisions of 4 teams each, 3 levels).

The AI controls all teams, and I've reached the playoffs - Division winners only, Each round is a 7 game series 2/3/2 setup.

During the regular season, the 'Norm' is a 4 man rotation for all teams. The AI has changed every playoff team to a 3 man rotation - which only allows for 3 days off. This seems extreme. I could see it for 1 series; but, right away, with possibly 2 more series to go? And for every single playoff team?

Has anyone else experienced this?

With a 4-man default, teams wouldn't need to use their 4th starter in any series, so the AI shuffles them out.

In a 2-3-2 series wouldn't Game 4 need your 4th starter unless you are going to start the Game 1 starter on 3 days rest (assuming 1 travel day when moving between cities)?

Yeah, but if your default is a 4-man, then 3 days rest is normal and expected.

Interesting. Even if the schedule is setup for, say, Monday-Thursday with no games over the weekend?

I guess the workaround would probably be to switch the expected rotation size to 5 for the playoffs in that scenario?
