Schedule request/help – 144 games, 12 teams

Lithium · 09-14-2018, 12:10 PM

I had a 10-team league, no divisions, 144 game schedule, every team plays each other 16 times, split into eight series of two games each, playing Friday-Wednesday with every Thursday as an off-day. It worked great.

This league has now expanded to 12 teams, and I wanted to stick with the same structure as much as possible – 144 games, no divisions, every Thursday an off-day, two games per series. This does mean the league would no longer have a balanced schedule, with each team playing 5 opponents 12 times and 6 opponents 14 times.

I’ve been using Fishbreath’s fantastic schedule generator and it seems like it is generating the schedule exactly the way I want it. But when I try to import it into the game it says “Could not import schedule. The loaded schedule has a different structure as the current league.” I fail to see how what I'm importing has a different structure - the league has expanded to 12 teams but I haven't added any divisions or subleagues, and I've amended the structure in the schedule generator to SL1D1T12.
Can anyone help?

The "different structure" error alert can mean a whole bunch of things. I'd need to test the schedule to see what's wrong. Can you post it here?

Sorry, managed to fix it and then my internet went down before I could update this.
I managed to sort this by telling the generator to try to create a balanced schedule, and leaving the box for balanced schedule ticked in-game. It still created the exact same schedule as it did otherwise, but for some reason this solved it.
