Rotating Interleague Schedules

srv340mike · 08-10-2014, 05:39 PM

I put together some rotating interleague schedules for my MLB games. The years covered are 2015, 2016, and 2017, a full cycle of divisions playing each different division in the other league.

2015-AL East v NL East, AL Central v NL Central, AL West v NL West
2016 AL East v NL West, AL Central v NL East, AL West v NL Central
2017 AL East v NL Central, AL Central v NL West, AL West v NL East

how are the IL games rotated? I'm curious to know that part of the schedule. Do we have 6/4/4/3/3 next year, or 8/3/3/3/3? Are the 16/17 schedules under the current format of 4/4/3/3/3/3 like in 13/14?

Thanks for doing this. Could you give me some more information. For example it looks like you may have a Sunday start in these schedules. Is that so?

Can you give the break down of games within the division,league, and interleague. Much appreciated.

Just loaded it up in a new game - it's not the same for every team. Some play 8/3/3/3/3, and some play 7/4/3/3/3.

I generated it from an OOTP 14 game, by changing around which teams in the AL are in what division to create the rotating interleague effect, so I don't know specifically what the format is. Other than that I did the "natural rivalries" by hand, and they are all on one weekend in may each season.

The problem with rotating the divisions is that it screws with the rivalry series. If we truly want rotating schedules, we'll have to make them from scratch.
