Importance of regualr season ending date

bogieman · 06-20-2006, 08:02 PM

When you setup your league one of the things is to setup the schedule. The game calculates the season end date from this. What I would like to know is what significance this date has on the game? Is it just used for scheduling the playoffs and the off-season activities?

The reason I ask this is because this date may conflict with historical schedules. A 10 team league using 3 game series an All-star game and 162 games will end on 9/22. This is the date that is reported in the off-season activities. Schedules nearly always went upto if not into October.

So sorry for the hideously slow response to this thread.

I'm trying to keep up with the post 1.0.2 stuff while pecking away at these older threads as well.

My understanding is that your assumption is correct - the season ending date is only important for determining the playoffs and off-season schedule.

That date is driven by your schedule, and not the other way around. If you are using one of the XML schedules that come with the game, I don't believe there should be an issue. Anyway, let me know if you have further questions about this.

Thanks,

Steve

We have a new rule that states that Tech Support threads wherein we have not received a response within 7 days will be closed.

This one meets this criteria, so I'm closing this.

If you want to discuss it again, just PM me with the thread link, and I'll re-open. (Don't just say "Hey, reopen my thread." I need to know the URL, thanks!)
