Scheduling/Division question

[Kuttner]

It's been awhile since I made my own schedule, so I'm feeling a little rusty. Here's what I'm trying to figure out:

If I create the following schedule - G100_SL1_D1_T4_D2_T4_D3_T4_D4_T4 and set it up so that D1 plays:
D2 8 times
D3 4 times
D4 4 times
the first year, will it keep this going forward? I know it randomizes the teams each year, but does it randomize within a division or within the SL? I wouldn't want D1 to play D3 or D4 8 times the next year. I know I could create a 2 SL schedule that would accomplish this but I don't want to have to award 2 sets of awards in such a small league every year.

Thanks. Hopefully this made sense. I haven't had my morning tea yet.

Yes, it will keep that matchups scheme going forward. The teams in each division are randomized year-to-year (Cincinnati and Pittsburgh could switch slots), but the divisions and subleagues are locked down and not rearranged (NL West and NL East will never switch places).

Excellent. Thanks gmo. You just saved me a whole lot of testing. Much appreciated.
