Hello! I'm building a fictional league with 48 teams in eight divisions (no subleagues). I want each team to play each other at least once every season, while playing their divisional opponents most frequently. I came up with these parameters:

• 168 games
• Four 3-game series vs. each team within the division (2 home/2 away)
• Two 3-game series vs. each team within one other division (1 home/1 away); for simplicity, I'm pairing D1/D2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 for this purpose, but these pairings could rotate by season
• One 2-game series vs. each team in the other six divisions (host alternates each year)
• Season starts and ends with divisional play (teams opening the season at home alternate each year)
• Season starts last Friday of March
• All-Star Game on Sunday at/around seasonal midpoint

I've been reading various schedule guides, but I'm having a heck of a time with it, and I haven't found any premade schedules that fit with my setup. If anyone with a knack for this stuff has some time to tackle this and/or give me some pointers, it'd be immensely appreciated!
