Requesting 18 team, 51 game schedule

Hageneezz · 08-29-2015, 01:17 PM

Hello schedule guru`s, i would like to make a request for a schedule for 18 teams please...

Each team would play every other team three games, to make a schedule of 51 games per team, don`t know if this is possible even...

I would like the games to be played on Saturday and Wednesdays only, ideally i would like the season to run from early april to september, if possible...

Humbly yours

Thanks..

I don't think OOTP supports schedules of odd length (though I may be wrong). It may be necessary to add a fourth game against one team to make 52.

Either way, this can be knocked out pretty quick.

I`d be very thankful, 50 or 52 games is fine also...

51 games is feasibly possible with this layout, but I'm wondering whether 48 might be the best option here.

Well, 48 games would be awesome too!

How would 48 games would? You want to play everyone at least three times.

Thats 17 x 3 = 51

I think the best way is to play everyone 3 times and 1 additional game vs a 4th team.

so 16x3 + 1x4 = 52

That way, you play 8 teams 2H 1A and 8 teams 1H 2A, last team, play 2H/2A

You still workin on this RU? If so, I won't bother with it.

I've got it almost done with 52 games - matchups are scheduled, I just need to assign home vs. away teams.

18 teams in one division, playing 52 games:

2H/2A vs. 1 team
2H/1A vs. 8 teams
1H/2A vs. 8 teams

26H/26A in total

Games are played on Saturdays and Wednesdays - the season begins on the first Saturday in April, and ends on either the last Wednesday of September or the first Wednesday of October, depending on the year. Saturday games begin at 3:05 PM, and Wednesday games begin at 7:05 PM.

Because games are only played twice per week, road trips and homestands were kept as short as possible. There are no instances of a team playing four consecutive games at home or on the road. (In that way it's more like a soccer or football schedule.)

Hope everything looks okay - any problems should be easily fixable.

E: I forgot to mention, the 'Balanced Games' tickbox should be checked for this schedule.

I'm still trying to make up a 48... wait a few days and I should have an alternate schedule done.
