10 teams per league, so that means 9 opponents for each team. Will play each of them once over a ~2.5 week period starting around the 1st of October. That's clear. So that is 9 games of the let's say 153 games of the full schedule. That leaves 144 games, divided by 9 opponents, which could mean 16 games per opponent, which could be 8 home & 8 away. Or it could be unbalanced in not playing all the teams the same amount and/or not the same amount home/away. What exactly "PCL-type" did you want? That lack of balance, weeklong series, something else?

Something can be made for you one way or another, but what you want could determine how easy it is to make and how elegant it turns out to be, not to mention how much you like it. Plus, the more precise the description the less I have to think.
Just the week long part of the PCL type.

Each team should face 6 of the teams 18 times (3 series worth), they should face the other 3 teams for 12 games (2 series).

This would make 144 games. They will get 72 home, 72 away.

They would then have the 9 other round-robbin games, some teams woudl get 5 home games, some would get 4 (as its only 153 games).

So team 1 would face:

Team 2-- 3 Times
Team 3-- 3 Times
Team 4-- 3 Times
Team 5-- 3 Times
Team 6-- 3 Times
Team 7-- 3 Times
Team 8-- 2 Times
Team 9-- 2 Times
Team 10-- 2 Times

Then 1 games vs all teams.

You would either have 77 or 76 home games (rotating each year). The end of year games would span for roughly 17 days (sometime around the 1st of october).
