Hello
For these requests, I am not looking for the traditional 3-game series...I am looking for whatever works. If it's 2-1-2-2-1-3 (11 game stretch versus 6 teams), then that's ok.
1) Request for the following schedule (NBA/NHL setup):
2 leagues, 3 divisions, 5 teams in each division, 162 games
At least 10 games inside division, at least 4 games within league, at least 1 game versus every team in the other league.
Does it matter if I need the same schedule for different starting dates?
2) Request for the following schedule (NFL setup):
2 leagues, 4 divisions, 4 teams in each division, 162 games.
At least 8 games inside division, at least 4 games within league, at least 1 game versus every team in the other league.
3) Request for the following schedule (pseudo-Europe soccer setup):
1 league, 8 divisions, 8 teams in each division, 162 games.
I am looking for the majority of the games to be inside the division, and only a handful of games versus the other divisions.

Thanks in advance
If you have created any of these, please point me in the right direction.

These are going to require some thought. Longer series are preferable. And series are important because the less structured (compared to MLB) single-game layouts of NHL & NBA are just not manageable. I would figure I will go with all 2-game series, or maybe 2-game with 3-game series.

The potential trouble spot would be with the NHL/NBA configuration. 15 teams in each subleague means interleague is required at all times since there is not an even number of teams in the subleagues. Hopefully going with series like mentioned above makes it reasonable.

One question - these are all 162 games, so should they be MLB-like in spanning from about the start of April to the start of October with an ASG in mid-July?

This one appears to already have something made that satisfies the criteria: Looking for 2 new schedules

What I've done is start the seasons such, that they end when they end in real life, more or less - NHL starts early September, NBA starts mid-September.
You're saying that if I put the start date within the game as September 1, and the schedule says start date is April 1, the game will force the season to start on April 1?

Did not see your response at first. The file specs for start month and start day will override the settings if those specs are given in the file.

What is posted so far and will be posted I will leave and have as starting at the beginning of April since those are more likely to be of general interest. It is quite easy for you to change that though, and it sounds like you may already know how. Where the "SCHEDULE" line has start_month="#" and start_day="#", you can simply change the # values. For example, to change from starting at the beginning of April to September, just change start_month="4" to start_month="9".
