A while ago I set up a league that had teams only playing one game a week (possibly two on rare occasions but I'm not certain). The idea was sort of that each game was more valuable and essentially each team only required 1 starting pitcher and a decent backup in case the starter got injured, pretty straight forward. The problem was that after the first season the second year's schedule--while creating the correct number of games--created games spaced as they are in real baseball, so now teams were only playing x many games but they were playing the normal 5-6 games a week which obviously killed the league.

I'm hoping some ambitious and talented individual might empathize with my efforts and create a quickstart that somehow employs this scheduling system. For the total number of games, it was the normal April - September regular season schedule just with only one game a week per team. The playoffs were all one game elimination.

If anyone wants to accept such a challenge I would be filled with appreciation; if anyone knows that OOTP isn't set up to be able to change the number of days between games and this is impossible without manually setting up the schedule every single season I would also appreciate that insight.
