For a 24 team league there is a cycle of 6 schedules. There are two separate sets of 6 available here.
|
Each set of six is effectively just 3 different schedules, one for a given division playing each division from the other conference. The other three are the same matchups with home & away reversed and a different order. This is necessary because in cycle 1, where Div A plays Div X, for the matchup of the two first places teams the Div A winner is home. If just 3 were used, every 3 years when Div A played Div X the Div A winner would always be home. This way next time around is gets reversed. It's recommended to use them in order or reverse order, but doesnt really matter which one you start with. The idea is to rotate the 3 non-conference divisions. So an order of 1,5,3,4,2,6 for instance, would still give proper rotation. |

| Cycle 1,4: Div A vs Div X Div B vs Div Y Div C vs Div Z |
Cycle 2,5: Div A vs Div Y Div B vs Div Z Div C vs Div X |
Cycle 3,6: Div A vs Div Z Div B vs Div X Div C vs Div Y |

Be sure that whichever of your divisions you use as Div A is always Div A, or the matchups wont work right from year to year. You can use team city, abbreviation, or nickname. Just be sure each is unique. And finally, once you enter in the teams and hit one, you should be able to use your back button and have the teams still in there, and switch to a different cycle if you want to look them over first. Also, entering teams and trying the same cycle more than once wont change anything. It doesnt randonly generate anything. It basically has 6 separate schedules stored and replaces the teams to suit your standings. You will need to copy and paste, or print, or you could save to a file to keep your sched. Bookmarking it wont work. There are two sets of schedules for 24 team leagues. The 'S' cycles are designed with teams playing their divisional opponents in weeks 1,2,3 and then again in weeks 14,15,16. That was requested by one league that I am in and make the schedule for. The other cycles have them spread thoughout the season. Comments, questions, you can email me: robb.r@comcast.net | |||
