"Missing" schedule templates

[cfeedback]

I haven't yet been able to write code that can generate a good schedule with an odd number of teams in each league

I don't think the MLB is much better at it than you are. Baseball is designed to be played (for the most part) with every team playing every day (against a league opponent).

Schedule templates is the main reason my online league is upgrading to 2009...having 6-5-5 in the AL and 5-6-5 in the NL generates a horrible schedule in 2008.

This thread should be included in stickied Index. I didn't even know it existed because whenever I go to Mods, I just click on the Index straight away.

Good idea

Could I get one for 162-u-555-555-I ? Decided to take a NL Central team into the AL West.

That might be a bit difficult....baseball expands in 2's for a reason...schedules are very difficult if you have an odd number of teams.

I didnt expand, rather moved the Cards' to AL West to balance 5 teams per div.

I know. I meant that, in real life, baseball always introduces 2 expansion teams in order to keep the number of teams in each league at an even number. When a league has an odd number of teams, scheduling becomes messy and difficult.

You're going to be forced to play interleague games throughout the whole season, and with an unbalances schedule you'll also be forces to have at least one team take a day off every day.

I added the Blue Jays in 1913 and got this schedule error:

154-B-9-8-I

I wanted to split into divisions early on (1911) and add a couple of teams, I get errors for the following:
154-U-440-440-I
154-U-550-440-I
154-U-440-550-I
154-U-550-550-I

Realigned after 1985 season and added inter-league play. How about:

162-U-554-444-I

Thanks!

See above. I don't have code to create a schedule for an odd number of teams. Hand-editing might be the only option.

What ever happened to:

Maybe I should add some code that outputs the *bad* schedule that Mogul makes when there are an odd number of teams. As a text template. Then at least you'd have a starting point and you could hand-edit it to make it better.

?

154-U-440-440-I
154-U-550-440-I
154-U-440-550-I
154-U-550-550-I

Here you go.

Try the attached files for a 17-team universe.

I have no idea if they will work. If they don't work, try going through the schedule templates by hand and removing every line with the word 'BLANK' in it.
