Another problem with this configuration is that with no interleague only 4 teams of the 5 in each league can be playing at any time. If you had a 25-week season (26 counting an All-Star Break week), each team could play in 20 of those weeks, but that would only add up to 80 games played in total. Perhaps 5-game series may be considered? Playing each team in 2 home plus 2 away series of 5 games would add up to 100 games in an April 8 through October 3 season (or Apr 1 - Sept 26).
Since LGO has pointed out many times that the playoff schedule can be adjusted in the sense that not the matchups but the hosts of each game can be changed, I would guess that the dates for playoff games can be adjusted manually. I believe the game always just starts the playoffs two days after the regular season ends, so unless there was a tiebreaker that would be on Wednesday. It may be worth a test to make sure you can move the playoff dates to fit what you would want.
Time zones can be set. Would the eastern league be the first league (teams 1-5) or the second league (teams 6-10)?

Ack, I don't know what I was thinking, I thought I had it figured out but you are correct that doesn't work.... brain cramp
Re: playoff scheds, I was just wondering if it was possible to set the start date, wasn't sure if the game handled it automatically.
It does not matter which league has which time zone.
I'll get back to you with a modified idea... this is for a fictional league that hasn't started so the # of teams and alignments aren't set in stone.
Thanks.
