It may be possible but it'd probably a very unusual schedule.

GMO to the Rescue!!!!!
Oof. I think I may have to cry uncle on that one, at least with interleague. Vris raised a good point that can at least allow me to hold off for the moment, even though 5-5-5 is surely the format desired for the "AL".

There are 5-6-5 leagues already set up, so that can just be plucked right out to go without interleague. One of the 30-team 2-league 5-5-5 setups I think has just one team in each league playing interleague most of the time and thus may be adjustable to have that team being off instead. Even if I cannot just tweak that, I'd expect that making a self-contained 5-5-5 league from scratch would be manageable.

So Doug, that is what you'd be looking at:
*No interleague, just too tough.
*The 5-6-5 league would be from one of the 5,5,6 or 5,6,5 leagues in the no-interleague 30- or 32-team schedules in the master list, so you can check out the details for that from one of those files.
*The 5-5-5 league would always have one team off at any given time (thus offdays would mostly come in 3-4 day chunks). Hopefully the Mon-Sun baseball week could be maintained, but if I had to go from scratch it is very possible the schedule would have to be set up having the series tightly packed together and that compacting may not allow for the normal Mon-Thu & Thu-Sun blocking.

I'll proceed with planning for this but probably hold off on actually building it until I hear back from you here just in case you wanted something new or different than what I described.
