I run an on line GM-style league. With the OOTP Schedule Generator it has all the teams start the 3 game series on the same day and the 2 game series on the same days. I just run the series of game (If it's a 3 game series starting, I run the 3 games, if it's a 2 game series, I run the 2 games). It works out nicely if all teams are in a same length of series.

Discounting the All-Star Break, I usually go for an average of about two offdays per three weeks since this is roughly what we see in current MLB schedules. So would you like every, or at least almost every, week to have an offday with maybe half also having another, to get you to more like three offdays per every two weeks? I'm especially thinking with regard to how to layout the in this case numerous 2-game series. I generally only put them either alone the first half of the week, which in this case would allow for two offdays per week by putting the games Tues-Wed and a 3-game series Fri-Sun, or paired up Mon-Tues and Wed-Thurs, which does allow for offdays assuming a 3-game series over the weekend. Would you like 2-game series on weekends?

It doesn't really matter to me when or how often there are off days.. in fact I just realized that if there are no off days then that is fine with me, too.. I'm thinking of the New York-Penn League that runs an 82 game schedule and actually only has off days before and after the all-star game (or at least that is how it used to be when I used to go to the games years ago)

Just give me as much detail about that stuff as you can or want to. If I decide to work on it in the meantime, I can at least start setting the matchups. Oh yeah, and should I bother putting an All-Star Break, or would you do it at the end if at all? And when would you like the intergames - scattered about, all together mid-season, in little clumps, something else?

YES, please include the all-star break (somewhere around the 42-45 game mark)
I think I'd like the intergames during the middle of the season.. Definitely not at the beginning of the season or at the end of the season..
...and thanks a ton for this.. really.. In the past, for other leagues that I have ran, I would actually attempt at setting a schedule and for some reason, I can never get it to work out correctly.. I mean i would spend weeks on the darn things and then end up having an extremely unbalanced schedule. Funny.. I had a friend who was a bit slow, but he would be able to throw one together in a matter of minutes, and it would be perfect..
