Schedule Request: 2 leagues, 2 divisions per league, 8 teams per division

[NotMuchTime]

I humbly request a 162 game schedule for 32 teams (2/2/8)

14 games against division (7x14)
8 games against non-division (8x8)
No inter-league games

If possible, 2 "4 game series" against non-division and 2 "4 game series" and 2 "3 game series" against the division.

Thanks in advance

The exact numbers 14/8 are unfeasible in a modern structure, but a very close 12/9 layout already exists.

The problem with 14/8 is that at face value, it's only 44 series, and for it to hit 52 the non-division matchups need to be split into three series each instead of two. In turn, to avoid overuse of two-game series, a ninth game needs to be added to each non-division matchup, hence the schedule above.

Thanks for the response.

As noted above, this with the numerous 4-game series cannot adhere to weeks. Series are simply laid out with offdays scattered about to given an MLB-type length. I think modern at least modern AAA schedules tend this way in terms of frequent 4-game series and not the common MLB paradigm of usually two series per week (Mon-Sun).

For this one I split one of the 4-game series for each interdivision opponent into two 2-game series. That gives the 52 series like MLB has now and allows for something MLB-like in the sense that weeks (Mon-Sun) have two series. But as also noted above that makes it quite un-MLB-like in that there are so many 2-game and 4-game series. Around half the weeks are a 2-game interdivision followed by a 4-game either division or interdivision series.

Thank you. I am in the middle of writing a ksh script to generate a schedule. I might finish it since I started it.
