a few off-day schedule

[jazzrack]

if GMO is taking schedule requests.

I am looking for a 176(ish) game schedule for a 36 team (2/3/6) no interleague (i am not all that concerned with the exact number of games, 174-176-180, whatever makes for a better schedule, balanced or unbalanced whatever it takes to get no 2 game series, a designers choice special)

the start date would be about a week or so "early" to end the the season by the end of sept. (whatever it needs to be is fine, i'll adjust the league to fit the schedule)

with few off days except for a 3 day all-star break in mid august. though i wouldn't mind an off-day every 3-4 weeks or so.

and how hard is it to have start times vary? maybe 4 weeks of day games & 4 weeks of night? (i don't really care about this, but i swear i saw a day/night split in some stat someplace in the game, it just makes me want to try)

I am going with 174 games, 18 per division opponent and 6-8 per league opponent. That leaves about 9 offdays besides the All-Star Break.

There is a day/night split at some level of stats detail. Typically I just make every gametime 7pm. I can make from day A to day B start at time X, from day B to day C start at time Y, ...

What I would like to offer is making each day of the week some percentage of whatever game times. E.g., make ~90% of Sat & Sun games day games, make ~35% of weekday games day games. It would just be random - each game on each day of the week has whatever percentage chance of being at whatever time is specified.

all sounds good to me, if it's not to much trouble
