Seek Schedule for 16-team league

Joe Shlabotnick · 07-02-2008, 02:20 PM

16 teams in two leagues. Two divisions of four teams each per league.
162 game schedule:

Play 14 games against each team in your division (3 teams x 14 = 42 games)
Play everyone else 10 times each (12 teams x 10 = 120 games)

I'm new at this. So maybe the game will generate it for me? Probably not.

Is there something like this out there, or would someone be willing to make one? Or point me to a resource for how to do it myself?

Other question ... I plan to play multiple season ... will the game keep using the same schedule each year (boring!) or will it move things around a bit (good)? Or is there something I can do to make a new schedule happen each season?

Sounds like you are not necessarily locked in on exactly 14 games per team in division and 10 games otherwise. Would you be okay with 16-17 games per division opponent, 10 games per other league opponent, and 9 games per interleague opponent? That already exists, though it is one of the earliest I made and I would want to redo it. That layout is probably just a bit easier to pice together than what you describe.

Schedules do get "scrambled" year-to-year. The teams within each division get shifted around, I think randomly. So the layout of all the games are all the same, but the teams playing in them change as they take different slots. If the first game of the season is PITvsMIL, the next year that first game may be MILvsCIN or STLvsHOU or ...

The game generated one with 16-17 in-division, 10 against the other division, and 9 inter-league.

I am happy with that ... close enough.

Thanks for the offer, and the answer on my other question (which I later noticed is answered in the manual).
