Hey guys. I figured this would be the best place to come for this.

I run a fantasy baseball league and its time to set the schedule for the upcoming season. If someone is willing to do this for me (just give me the schedule and I'll put it in of course) I will send them $5 paypal.

I have a specific way of setting it based on the previous season's standings so it wont be easy (or maybe it will, idk). This is how I would like it:

There are 12 teams divided up in 2 divisions.
Division 1 includes the following teams: NYY, BOS, TB, TOR, LAA and CWS
Division 2 includes the following teams: CIN, NYM, HOU, MIL, COL and WAS

Teams in the Division 1 do NOT play teams in the Division 2.

There are 14 weeks during the regular season and each team plays 2 teams a week. So there will be 12 games a week.

Each team must play two different teams each week.
No teams can play each other in back to back weeks.


When you break it down, basically each team will play 3 teams 6 times and 2 teams 5 times.

Each team has 2 specific teams that they will only play five times. The other 3 teams they will play six times.

Here are the teams each team must face just five times:

NYY..... TB & CWS
BOS..... TOR & LAA
TOR..... LAA & BOS
LAA..... TOR & BOS
TB...... NYY & CWS
CWS.... NYY & TB

CIN.... COL & WAS
NYM... HOU & WAS
HOU... NYM & MIL
MIL.... HOU & COL
COL... CIN & MIL
WAS... CIN & NYM


The first person to come up with this 14 week schedule for me I will send them $5 US via paypal.

Thanks

$10. Thats as high as I'll go. I did it last year. I dont think it took more than an hour if you dont include entering it into the site (which Im still doing). I just dont have the time right now and want to take the easy way out.
 
I think you'd do better on a math forum, not a cubing forum.

Why? It's easy to do and we have lots of young guys here eager to earn some money. I did actually solve it, just didn't bother to post it.

Your a genius. I see your posts every day, and I literally understand only 1/3 of what your saying.
 
No, seriously. Take out paper and pen and just try it. And here's what I think is a solution.

Edit: Wait, I think I violate one constraint once. Gotta fix that. Ok, maybe it's not so easy :D. Genius, huh?

I thought this would be a great forum because like Stefan said, lots of young guys who could use alittle extra cash. Its not that hard but its time consuming and I just didnt feel like doing it.
 
Oops. Sorry. We had some teams change names this year. DET became LAA. Heres what it should look like...


Division 1
NYY..... TB & CWS
BOS..... TOR & LAA
TOR..... LAA & BOS
LAA..... TOR & BOS
TB...... NYY & CWS
CWS.... NYY & TB

Division 2
CIN.... COL & WAS
NYM... HOU & WAS
HOU... NYM & MIL
MIL.... HOU & COL
COL... CIN & MIL
WAS... CIN & NYM

Sorry, we're too busy arguing about what the last digit of pi is.

i lol'd hard

edit: also, doublecheck this bold:
Division 1 includes the following teams: NYY, BOS, TB, TOR, LAA and CWS
NYY..... TB & CWS
BOS..... TOR & LAA
TOR..... DET & BOS
DET..... TOR & BOS
TB...... NYY & CWS
CWS.... NYY & TB
 
Can't you do it 15 weeks? Then you wouldn't have some pairs occuring less often, and (ABCDE)*6 would work.

That might work better but I cant change it now.

26 weeks in the season

6 weeks (3 rounds lasting 2 weeks each) of playoffs.
6 weeks of interleague games.
14 weeks of regular season.

I already have the interleague games set. That doesnt change from last year. Just need the 14 weeks of division play.
 
I'll do it but I have school now so I won't be able to post it for about 11 hours.
