Schedule Request.

[oman19]

Been away from the game because of fatherhood but finally getting back after a decade. I have so much to catch up on.

I am in need of a set of schedules. GMO made me a set of 30 of these that were what I thought I needed but my calculations were off a little bit. Here is what I am looking for.

Every team plays 18 games against everyone in its own division: 72 games
Every team plays 6 games against everyone else in its league: 60 games
Every team plays 6 games against every team in a division in the other league: 30 game

Total = 162

Basically you get a home and home with every other team

Only thing is I need 3 versions of this schedule. Where the inter league division you play is rotated similar to the NFL.

For example one year the AL East plays the NL East, the next the NL Central, and the one after the NL West.

If you could jumble up each of the 3 versions a little to give it a little variety that would be nice.

I would like an All-star break and dates to closely resemble today's MLB.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thank you thank you thank you GMO!

Can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate this. I've been away from the game for a long time so mind walking me through a few things?

I unzipped this file and put it in the schedule folder. So in order for it to grab these schedules automatically I have a few questions.

When creating a league I should set the Interleague schedule to yes.....Should Balanced Schedule be set to no? Any ideas which schedules I should take out so it only grabs these?

Correct on interleague=yes & balanced=no. This wiki page section explains handling multiple schedules. You could remove any others in the Schedules folder that have the same structure as these.

My advice would probably be to commit to at least checking the load if not (re)doing it manually at the beginning of the preseason to make sure you get the variant you want in place then.
