Need Help With 5 Different Schedules

boblight24 · 11-09-2009, 07:44 PM

I know this is a HUGE favor, but if someone could take care of it for me I would be eternally grateful.

I am attempting to run a relegation/promotion league using MLB teams and their minor-league affiliates. Therefore I need some schedules made.

All the leagues are a 1-league format

Top Tier league -(162 games) has 18 teams, 3 divisions of 6 each - I'd like twice as many games within one's division and then balanced against the other 2

Bottom tier league (162 games) has 12 teams, 3 divisions of 4 each, same format as the top tier league

AAA - 154 games - has 6 divisions of 5 teams - I'd like to play 3-4 series within division then balanced against 2 others then 1 or no series with other division, if that's at all possible

AA - 120 games - has 5 divisions of 6 teams, same format as AAA

A - 120 games - is broken into 7 division (5T, 4T, 5T, 4T, 4T,4T, 4T) - same format as AAA and AA

I don't know if it's possible to not schedule teams that are in your league, but if so please do that. Otherwise try and make it as few series as possible with, for example, Division 1 vs Division 7.

Thanks!!

The above were just taken from previously-made schedules. Hopefully those are okay for you. The 18-team is more unbalanced than what you requested, but the numbers just work out so much better with the 3:1 division to interdivision ratio.

I am still trying to figure out options for the others.

That last one is rather icky. Would you be okay with the two 5-team divisions playing only each other for inter-division, then the 4-team divisions playing two of the other divisions for inter-division?

With 18 teams, a 154-game schedule would work perfectly: 14 against each divisional opponent and 7 against each nondivisional opponent.

Expanding it to 162 would likely involve:

14 against divisional opponents
9 against 4 of the nondivisional opponents
7 against the other 8 nondivisional opponents

With 12 teams, 154 games...

22 against each divisional opponent
11 against each nondivisional opponent

12 teams, 162 games...

22 against each divisional opponent
11-12 against each nondivisional opponent
