Round robin world series

I got the idea from another thread and it works really well. Twenty-four teams in a three league majors, each league sends first place finisher to the world series round robin. The game populates the round robin schedule, which adds a variable to each series as the games are not evenly distributed. This is interesting because the first team to win five games wins the series, and a team is eliminated upon losing four games. It requires some manual maintenance to eliminate the remaining scheduled games of the eliminated team, but is otherwise simple to manage. I've found this to be more interesting than the typical "pair offs". Have found scheduling each team to 10 games is typically close to what is required to produce an elimination and a winner, with perhaps a need to schedule one more game for the finalists. This is a nice way around the tournament scenario which I messed with before and didn't like. And all the series information makes it into the official history which is nice.
