New York-Penn and Appy League schedule request

[tgreitsma]

I expanded my MLB game to 32 teams with additions in Portland and Montréal and using the incredibly handy modded schedule list, I was able to find schedules that worked for the also-expanded International League, Eastern League and Cal League. But I need two short-season schedules.

Would some kind soul like to make them?

For the New York-Penn League:
16 Teams (1S,4D,4T)
-- ~70 games (anywhere from 65-75 is fine, whatever's easiest
-- Balanced (or somewhere close to it, again, whatever's easiest)
-- Start in mid-June, end in early September (this is the part that has been hard to find)

For the Appalachian League:
12 teams (1S,2D,6T)
-- Otherwise the same as the NYP.

If there's anyone who can help, I will erect a statue in your honour.

No need for an All-Star Break, by the way.

For the Appalachian League, it might be possible to modify this schedule into a two-division format.

Finished the two I was working on. I have started yours so give me a little time and I will let you know when I get them both done. I need a bit of a break to watch a movie tonight, but will get back to them tomorrow.., Should not take too long.

Here is the second one....

#
# 16 team schedule, 70 games
# Designed for the following configuration:
# 1 subleague with 4 divisions, each with 4 teams
#
#
# 6 games against 3 other teams in division (3H/3A)
# 5 games against 4 teams in league (3H/2A or 2H/3A)
# 4 games against 8 teams in league (2H/2A)
$
#
# No homestands or roadtrips longer than 14 games
#
# All game times set at 7:05pm
#
# Season begins first Monday on or after June 13
# Season ends late August/Early September
# Season ranges from 6/13 to 9/6
# start date of 6/13 goes to 8/31
# start date of 6/19 goes to 9/6
#
# No all-star game
# 5 day season break at half way point of season
#


I have also started to upload the schedule excel file with the schedules.

Both schedules start and end on the same date and ae compact at 80 days to fit your requirements to start around the middle of June and end in early September. I used the date of 6/13 as the start date so your season will start between 6/13 to 6/19 and end between 8/31 and 8/6. So if your season started on June 15th it would end on September 2nd....

If you have any questions or issues with the schedule, please let me know...

Enjoy.

SandMan: are these the actual schedules for these leagues? If so, what year?

These are fictional schedules. The request was for a league that expanded to 32 teams and expanded his minor leagues. I only put the comment in so the users knows which file I uploaded. I was hoping that the naming was okay since the request was for a balanced schedule for his fictional MLB with expansion.

In my own collection of schedules I took the comment off as the schedules are basically fictional 12 and 16 team - 70 game schedules.

To avoid confusion, I have posted the files named as they are in my personal library.

There is a real-world option one could consider as a starting point (or as the actual schedule): the summer college Northwoods League. In recent years it has gone from 14 to 18 teams, and its schedule is in the 68-72 game range.
