Schedule Request - Easy (I think) but a little unusual

[Scott Vibert]

This will be used for a promotion-relegation league I'm starting to play around with.

Here are the specifics:

SubLeague 1
1 Division
16 Teams
90 games (6 against each of the other 15 teams in the division)

SubLeague 2
3 Divisions
16 Teams each
90 games (6 against each of the other 15 teams in the division)

I'd love if there was about a 10 day break around the one third mark of the season, for "cup play". Season could start around Memorial Day, have the break June/July (or thereabouts) and transition to the playoffs in August/September, however it fit.

For the curious SubLeague 1 would be the top division to try and keep those stats separate from the lower levels which would all fit in SubLeague 2. Since this is set in one main league, the playoffs, can be fashioned as a larger Open Cup competition (similar to the US Open Cup (or FA Cup)).

Thanks!

Here is a work in progress version of my league schedule. If anyone can use it great, if not, then I have an online backup.

What it does.

Correctly has the 90 game schedule with no interdivisional play.
All teams play the other 15 teams in its division 6 times (3 home, 3 away) broken into 3 game series.
Season begins May 20th, Ends August 24th (will eventually be closer to Labor Day)

What needs to be updated.

Add the break for "local cup competition".
Consider All Star Game
Consider Staggered Off Days.

-Staggered offdays (all teams in each division still have same offdays, but not all divisions share the same offday)
-Added local cup and All-Star breaks (ASG is on Saturday in mid/late July)
-Added start date (start date 1 week earlier/end date 1 week later due to breaks)
-There is one scheduling oddity: I had to move some games from day 70 to day 63 to prevent differing All-Star break lengths, meaning teams in SL1 and SL2D1 have a 1-game series on day 63 and a 2-game series later on. This is relatively minor compared to what MLB has, so I made the switch.
-I also recommend you change the schedule name to something that has OOTP randomize the matchups (though I don't know the syntax for it) to prevent team 1 from having the same matchups every season.

Thanks I appreciate the help
