Generating Schedules for Minor Leagues

Syxx34 · 09-27-2008, 05:13 PM

First off let me tell you this. I used CBL Cardinals rosters so the league set up is as follows:

Major League (30 MLB Teams)
Triple A League (30 Teams with 1 for every MLB Team)
Double A League (30 Teams with 1 for every MLB Team)
Single A League (30 Teams with 1 for every MLB Team)
Rookie League (30 Teams with 1 for every MLB Team)

I have Triple A at 144 Games, Double A at 132 Games, Single A at 120 games and Rookie League with 102 games. It will not allow me to have inter-league play. When I try to generate schedules it says to turn off Inter-League play and turn on balanced schedule. I have flip and flopped these. If i put the minor leagues at 162 games...it will work. So is there anyway to have inter-league play in the minor league?

If you have a custom schedule with interleague play created outside the game you can import it and use that.

You could also rearrange the league sizes and alignments in your minors so that an existing schedule file can be used. For example, the actual Pacific Coast League schedule file could be used if you have to 16-team league split into two 8-team subleagues and playing a 144-game season.

It depends on how many leagues you want in your minors to handle the number of teams you have. In the real world, there tend to be more minor leagues to handle the same amount of teams as compared to the major leagues. For example, there are 30 teams at the AA level but they are split amongst three leagues (Eastern, Southern, and Texas).

I know that but im trying to avoid that because the more leagues you have; the bigger the webpage files will be. Trying to keep the league file size down. As I want to add College and High School feeder leagues for an online league.

Do you thinking having just AAA (max of 25 players), AA (max of 30 players), A (max of 30 players), R (max of 50 players) leagues is enough minor leagues for having feeder leagues?

anyone know how?

If you want, you can post in the Schedules section of the Mods forum and ask if someone can create a custom schedule to fit your needs. No guarantee it'll be done, but it can't hurt and you may get exactly what you want rather than leaving it to the whims of OOTP's schedule generator.

I know this little diffrent the original topic but didnt want to make a whole new thread for such a short and stupid question. As my league structure is listed above; how many rounds should I have for this league structure? I was debating between 20 and 25 round. As I know the real life bigs do 30.

Gracias for everyone that has dealt with some of my stupid questions here or in other threads. Helps alot...first time modifying files but been with ootp since ootp5.

I've moved the last post to a thread in New to the Game and as the schedule issue is a mod issue rather than a TS issue, I'm going to close this thread.

If the issue does reappear then link to this thread in a new query.
