Can a league realign and still use Stickware?

satchel · 05-01-2003, 11:45 AM

I have seen warnings about the Stickware scheduler not working if one realigns the teams in one’s league. I was wondering if there is any way around this. I was thinking maybe if you start a new season, realign, then make a new Stickware schedule, that will work? And the structure of the schedule will stay the same if you input the same seed variable, the realigned teams will just have switched spots?

It should work but I havent tried it.

Let me clarify my question. I believe the warning against moving teams applies to this situation: a league makes a Stickware schedule for season 2000, they play that season, then they realign; so when they start the 2001 season, their schedule (which they’d made before the 2000 season) is no longer valid. At this point, before they start the 2001 season, could they not just re-input the same variables into the Stickware and basically end up with the same schedule as in 2000, just with the realigned teams having switched places?

Maybe I should make a dummy league and try this?

What exactly happens when a team changes divisions, how does that mess up the Stickware schedule?

I'm interested in this as well...
