I just finished creating my 1871 league. Since there are 9 teams, I decided to create a balnced schedule where every team plays each other 6 times (48 games). I couldn't do more because 6 of the 9 teams only had 1 pitcher, therefore a game every 4 days was the most I could do. The teams that had 2 pitchers were scheduled last to allow back-to-back days of games. It took me an entire day to figure out the scehdule, but I did it.
The year 1872 should be fun because 2 more teams come into the league and I don't know how many more pitchers will be added to the already existing teams. Should be another grueling project being done on the laptop watching playoff football.
