64 team schedule

Nzsftbl · 08-14-2009, 04:11 PM

Hello
I have created yet another league; hope this will stay interesting.
2 leagues, 4 divisions, 8 teams in each division (64 teams total)
Looking for a 76-game schedule:
Starts in mid-March.
Each team plays each team in their division 4 times.
Each team plays the other teams in their league twice.
No interleague, with all-star break.

Much appreciated.

To sort ask about the same thing two ways, until when should the schedule last, and how many games per week are you expecting?

The obvious option is all 2-game series (so 4H/4A against division opponents and 2H or 2A against interdivision opponents). All teams could play then 2 or 3 such series per week. How does that sound?

In one aspect, the OOTP-generated schedule has worked out well - start mid-March and end early-mid June. So the season should end by mid-June.
Therefore, the season should be as condensed as the MLB, with teams playing 6 and sometimes 7 games a week.

Hope these answers help; thanks for your time

Just noticed your proposal of 2-game series'.
Since the schedule works out evenly, then am looking for:
1) Out of division is 1 game series: 1H/1A.
Example: Team 1 plays team 15 at home in early April, and plays at team 15 in mid-May.
2) In-division is 2H/2A. These can be either:
a) 2 2-game series, or
b) 4 1-game series.
Whichever works out better.

Again - thanks a 1,000,000 for your time
