I've got most of the PCL schedules in basic text form. None though have been converted over for OOTP6 use at this point. They will all be available for use in OOTP2006 not long after that game is released. I'm not sure if it's worth posting them in OOTP6 format when the new game is not far off.

The schedule lengths for the PCL:

1947: 186 games
1948: 188 games
1949: 187 games
1950: 200 games
1951: 168 games
1952-53: 180 games
1954: 168 games
1955: 172 games
1956-57: 168 games
1958-62: 154 games

16 team, 84 game schedule

2 leagues, 1 division in each, 8 teams per division

all 84 games within division/league (12 games per opponent)
no interleague games

See top of file for more details.

Thanks gmo. I am amazed at the speed you churn these things out. I messed around for a couple days before saying the heck with it. I would love to know the secret or if you possess some magic power.

Hi.

I have a couple strange requests.

1st one.
30 teams.
2 leagues 3 divisions of 5. Limitted Interleague play

I think the math must be 164 games ?

16 games indiv (*4) = 64
8 games in both div in league (x5 x2) = 80
4 games against 1 div interleague. (x5) 20

If the divisions were U S and A. I'd need 1 schedule for UU, one for US and one for UA to be played every three years.

2nd. (And I saw you had one close to it but not quite)

16 teams.
2 Leagues 2 div each of 4. With interleague.

But I'd like 6 games vs 1 interleague div instead of 3 vs all interleague teams if possible ???
This schedule would of course need a "mate" to alternate years.

Thank you very much.

I will have to run the numbers on this. The odd number of teams per league necessitates at least one interleague series at all time, which is a significant complication. Then adding to that having an odd number of teams in each division means their must be interdivision games within each league all the time also. At least it appears you have a layout that would take all 4-game series, which would not be the prettiest but may make it manageable.

Have you checked out this set of schedules? It is not exactly what you what, but it may be the best option.

How many total games - 162? How many (at least roughly) within the division and within the league outside the division?

For both cases do you want otherwise MLB-style start & end dates (beginning of April to beginning of October) plus an All-Star game in early/mid-July?

[Mad Jackal]

GMO.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Firstly on the 16 team schedule. I meant to say it was 144 games. Exactly the same as one(s) already listed

16 teams, 144 games, {2L/2D/4T}, posted 2004/08/21
16 teams, 144 games, {2L/2D/4T}, posted 2005/06/25

But these are 3 games vs the 8 interleague teams and I would prefer 6 in only one division of the other league.... Looking back--> 24 in div. 12 vs other div in league. 6 one division from other league. And the mate with alternate division played.
3*24=72
4*12=48
4*6=24
-------
144


Ideally, I'd love to have the scheduled centered on the 4th of July (and have a 7 day break there.) I think the All Star Game on the 4th would be really cool. Also a good block of "in division" games at the end of each half (especially the end of the season ) would be ideal. But regular MLB is cool if the rest is too difficult. (I think I can handle the manual editing required to change dates.)



On the 30 team schedule I am totally fine with 4 game series. And two game series. I could also live with double headers to make 4 games fit into 3 days too. But I need to check the book I pulled the schedule from. It has been a while since I read it and I may have screwed up the numbers. I know it was 30,2,3,5 though....

I saw the one you linked to. And it is close. I just have a thing about balanced schedules. (And what defines balanced.)

Thanks for taking the time.

While I'm trying to get to teh library and get the book.

How about a go at this one then ?

30 teams 2 leagues. 3 div of 5 each

18 games in div 18*4=72
6 games against 10 league not div. 10*6 = 60
6 games 1 interleague div (alternate years) 5*6 = 30
=162.

regular april to oct schedule is fine... All star break at 50% mark +/-.

I am already working on the earlier 4-game series version. It should work, but it will take some time.

Thank you very much.

Hi,
I`ve got a schedule request and i hope you will help me. I am looking for a schedule for an 8 team league,with 2 sub divisions of 4 teams each. I would like every team to play each division opponent 18 times and every team from the other division 4 times,so a total of 70 games. And i would like the season to begin in the half of may if that is possible.

Each team plays each other team in their league 12 times, split into 2 home and 2 away 3-game series. They also play 2 2-game series (one home and one away) against each team in another league.

All league games are played in on Fri/Sat/Sun night. Interleague is played midweek, either Tue/Wed or Wed/Thu. The allstar game is in the last week of the season.

Can anyone tell me how to get this into my league...im having trouble running it.

You download the posted file and save it somewhere on your computer. Make sure if it was a .zip file it is unzipped, but if it is just a .txt file it will work as is.

In your league sometime during the preseason (between the point after having proceeded to the next season and before you want the season to begin), go to the League Setup screen and select the Edit Schedule button down at the bottom right.

Choose the Import CSV Schedule option on the bottom of that Edit League Schedule screen. Then simply select the file from the window that pops up wherever you saved it on your machine.

After import is completed in a few seconds you can set the All-Star Game date, Starting date, and Year Starts On day according to how you want them or how the schedule file advises.

It seems my computer doesn't reognize the files as its type of file is "file" and it shows the stupid icon which means you dont have that program neccesary to run it. Nevertheless, I imported and came up with a blank schedule. Please help.

I have not forgotten this. Hopefully I can get it done some time later this week.

Wanting to have doubleheaders in there like a historical schedule is a change for me. It allows for more flexibility ("I'll make it fit by throwing another game onto a day"), but my working spreadsheets are not really set up to handle doubleheaders, so it sort of balances out I think.

It has not yet been posted that I know of, but it has been pretty much prepped to be posted and figures to be up soon.

It will most likely go in the historical schedules thread also stickied in the Mods forum.
