Schedule request

luckymann · 04-06-2020, 11:19 AM

Hi, not been able to find this one, so holding the hat out to see if one of the scheduling gods can come up with it for me.

I am just about to expand my 7-season old custom league from 2SL / 2D / 6T to replicate exactly the MLB structure.

But I really like the idea of playing EVERY team each year, so I thought of making my season 165 games long, with the following breakdown:

15 games v other teams in division (60)
6 games v teams in same league, other divisions (60)
3 games v interleague teams (45)

With the odd numbered divisions I'm not even sure if this is logistically possible, but thought I'd try my luck. Beggars can't be choosers, so any additional elements such as series v division rivals in September and that sort of thing would be great, but I understand if impossible. I would like all games to be night games if that is doable (poor eyesight makes those day games hard to see!!), yes to All-Star Break and if possible I'd like the season to finish at end Sep if that can be done so Playoffs can be finished in October. I'm still using OOTP20 for now, will be upgrading after the first expansion season is complete (not sure if that matters).

Thanks in advance for any help, insights or guidance with this.

This has the structure you requested.

I changed the season start to the end of March to get a season to end as close to the beginning of October as possible. Times were already set to 1905 start times. The first schedule will have the season end in October, the second I modified it to start 3/22 and removed the start day of week, so the season ends 9/22. You can modify this to any day if you want the season to end closer to October. The start day of week of the season is not important.
