Abev -> Custom Scheduler (6/6/2006 5:10:41 PM)
|
On and off for about the past year I have been creating a scheduler for PS. There was a pretty active thread on the old boards if any one remembers...
Any how, I am getting closer to having a finished product and would like to get some ideas. I generally use a 24 team 2 League 3 divs/league config for my assns. Was wondering what league configuarations everyone else likes to use?
The scheduler can handle alot of different league configs. It also allows for balanced schedules, and unbalanced schedules, as well as degrees of unbalance (more games in your div). It is patterned after MLB schedules. It will only schedule for 162 games at this point. And based on the way I coded it I am not sure if it will work for anything *but* 162.
For the most part it will give you a pretty solid schedule without any user input. It is setup to allow for user input; you can actually drag and drop weeks or individual series in the schedule to smooth out some rough spots or force certain series during diff times of the season.
Other things that it does that I think will help enhance PS is teams will have uncommon off days, and with use input, you can move in division series to the end of the schedule to enhance your rivalries and the pennant race.

We are pre beta beta at this point but the scheduler will give you a chance to see what the sched looks like graphically. Blue is home, Red is Away, Yellow is the ASB, White are off days, Gray are not calendar days(just left overs from when a calendar gets created)
Teams will have not more than 20 consecutive games in a row without an off day. And I have set the home/away stands at not more than 13 although I am not sure what the MLBPA rule is on that.
So please post your prefered league configs if you would. And if theres other ideas you have on how to enhance the PS schedule please post it.
