10 team PCL Style schedule.

[SandMan]

Created this one for my Wisconsin League. 200 games played in 179 days. All teams play Double headers on Sundays at 1pm and 4pm, with the exception of one game. Also 1-4 doubleheaders played on Wednesdays starting at 3pm and 7pm. Saturday games are at 3pm and the rest of the week the games are scheduled at 7pm. Although the teams don't play the same opponent for the whole week with Mondays off, the Sunday tradition of Doubleheaders is back......

This was designed for 1 league with 10 teams in 1 division, but could very well be modified to eitherr 2 leagues with 5 teams in 1division or 1 league with 2 divisions of 5 teams. The schedule is a balanced schedule. Could also be used as a 20 team league if loaded for each subleague, but I did not leave an ASB in the schedule. If requested I could create a second version with an allstar break of one week in the middle of the season.

Hey Sandman good work!

BTW- For the life of me I cannot load the 8 team 54 game and 10 team 72 game fictional historical schedules. The headers match up, balanced schedule matches up and the number of games match up. I keep getting the message "loaded structure different than league structure". I took a look at the file using Excel and nothing stands out, except there is an all-star column with no selected. I compared this to a 8 team 54 game file that worked and there was no all-star column in that file.

How do I edit the schedule file and save in .lsdl format? I cannot save into .lsdl format using excel. I can only save into XML format which does not parse and load properly.

I hope this makes sense, thanks!

You can edit it with notepad. Do not save as XML, these documents are simple text documents. I would not use Excel.

I tested both and they loaded here... You don't have divisions or anything do you? You also need to make sure that you do the load by the league and not subleague.

Another thing you could do is to copy the file to the schedules folder and rename it :

leaguename_ml_c_2006 where leaguename is the name of your league, making sure that you have no blank spaces in the name.

thanks! I am determined to make this work. I am a tyoe of guy that has to figure this out no matter what. I could have moved on and use the default schedule generator but I just too "anal-retentive" to give up!

The four key items that must match up are:

Balanced schedule yes/no
Interleague play yes/no
Number of games
League alignment

If all four of these as specified in the schedule file match what is specified in OOTP for the league, it should work.

I've checked and all four seem to match so I am definitely missing something here. I will continue to find the problem. Thanks!

Sandman, how do you do the load by the league and not subleague?

In game setup - edit schedule. Use the LOAD schedule button. Do not use the load subleague 1. Try this and let me know. If this does not work zip the file up and post here and I will look at the schedule file....
