I like it this way only because there can be no ties during the regular season series.
Thank you very much.

Since it will be a little while before I can work on it, that gives me a chance to ask a few questions (or state how I plan on doing it if I don't hear back before I get to work
).
Do you want the season to begin later so it ends at the end of Sept? Or begin the usual early April then end very early, or something in between? Do you want an All-Star Break? Is it fine to scatter about the interdivision games, but try to make the end of the season just within the division?
EDIT: Oh, one more thing. I'm counting 113 games by your plan.
3 teams in same division X 19 games = 57 games
8 teams in other divisions X 7 games = 56 games
That need not change anything, I just wanted to note it. Well, it does mean that half the teams will have one more home game than road games, and the other half will have just the opposite. That's not a huge deal to me, but some people do not like it. Plus in this setup there will be an uneven split for home/away games in each matchup, though I'm assuming I can make them all 4/3 & 3/4 and 10/9 & 9/10 in this case.
