auto scheduler won't schedule

[gregb7]

i have my 1960s universe set up. i've followed the instructions on how to set up a universe, pick fighters, mass edits, etc. yes, i have activated the "use with auto scheduler" ticked in the mass edit. but when i try to auto schedule fights, nothing gets scheduled.

what am i missing?

If you can post the screen shots of your auto-scheduler set up, I'll bet that someone can quickly spot the potential problem (or confirm that there isn't a set-up problem).

ok, i'll set this up to mirror the creating a game/universe from the new features area.

I'm setting up a league starting in 1950, so I select from the fighters area all those
whose career started in 1950:

The fighters were all mass edited as follows:

The autoscheduler settings:

autoscheduler continued:

As you can see (hopefully, i've never done this before),
no bouts were scheduled. The existing bout was done with
the add button to the left of the auto scheduler. Because
of the limited number of fighters, it was easy to do. Not sure
I'd want to do that later in this league when there are many
more fighters.

So, any idea why the auto scheduler isn't working?

[gregb7]

sorry, forgot one:

scheduled bouts (none):

I am at work, so I only briefly looked at this but the one thing that jumps out is the min/max rank setting. You have it at 1/100.

If I am looking this correctly, that excludes everyone in your universe because no one is currently at the minimum ranking threshold of ten fights.

If that does not help, please let me know and I will look more closely at the details tonight for you.

yeah, i wondered about that. particularly at the very beginning.
in some divisions there's only 4 fighters. so i played around with
that number, setting it from the maximum value of the fighters
in the division to the minimum of 0. another issue is that during
the first month, nobody is rated.

in any event, nothing worked. even all my messing with that
number didn't schedule any bouts. i'm befuddled.

Take out the numbers in the rank minimum and maximum leave those blank and you should get some fights scheduled. The default setting is usually 10 fights to be ranked so in your case as no one has fought none of your fighters are ranked and therefore are being excluded from the autoscheduler

taking out the numbers rank minimum and rank maximum did the trick!!!

so i assume i don't need to put those in until i've got a year or more
under the bridge?

many thanks, i can get into this at last

you don't have to put those numbers in at all.

Right. But, once you have a bigger universe going, the rank and number of fights check-offs can be used in a multitude of ways to set general experience and talent levels against others. It's pretty cool how creative you can get with just the selections that are available in that auto-scheduler.

A powerful tool, but it is admittedly hard to get a handle on at first.
