Unhappy Double Header Tweaking...

OK, so I spent all this time trying to put together the 1969 schedule... the actual schedule, which compared to our times, is LOADED with double-headers.

Here is what I have found with Double Headers...

1. I tried to set two games with very different start times (1 and 7) and I would have the same two pitchers go... That is not good.

2. I tried to sim each game individually. I would still have the same two pitchers go... That is not good.

3. I tried to sim each game individually, but in between games I would check the standings and team pages. I would still have the same two pitchers go... That is not good.

4. I have not had the simulator crash and the stats for both games seem to be compiling nicely... that is good!

5. I changed the pitching staffs of the teams to strict order starts. I don't know if the computer controlled teams switched these back during the sim, but I would still get the same starter going twice... that is not good.

Well, just thought I would throw this out there for those who want to spend the time putting together an actually schedule... those double headers are a bear! Good luck trying to code in this one... my guess is that there would have to be an (A) and a (B) schedule for double headers, that way the simulator can compile the stats from that day, replay that day, but only with the double-header games, and add those fatigue numbers and stats to the list.

Whew.
