Schedule for a 16 man league, weeks 1-13, play two opponents each week (1 Viewer)

[Stingdiddy]

My league recently expanded to 16 teams. We play two "head to head" matchups each week. The commissioner wants to hand pick the match ups each week, which, isn't a good solution. I went to the FBG scheduler page, but, couldn't find the criteria for:

16 teams

Two "head to head" matchups each week

Weeks 1-13

I realize that some teams may only play one time, but, I'm just trying to figure out a random process to make the schedule. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Maybe I'm making this too simple, but why not go

1 vs 2

1 vs 3

etc...

next week

1 vs 4

1 vs 5

and just increase each week and repeat... then fill in the names... Pretty easy in excel.

On the other hand, if you have 4 divisions, then I can help you there with my league schedule. We play division members twice and everyone else once... 18 games total. We have 5 double headers.

If I go 1 vs 2 and 1 vs 3, 2 obviously has to match up against 1, so, can't do 2 vs 3 and 4. We don't have divisions, but, thanks for the offer.

Okay.. .here's the easiest way to do it.

Go to MFL (www.myfantasyleague.com) and set up a test league. Set it at 16 teams then go through the schedule maker and choose 13 week season, 16 teams with doubleheaders each week. It'll build you a custom schedule where you play 4 teams once and 11 teams twice with doubleheaders in all weeks.

I assume you have 4 divisions of 4? Either way teams should be podded up into groups of 4.

You play all teams in your division twice. (6 games)

You play all teams in 2 other divisions twice (16 games)

You play all teams in 1 other division once (4 games)

Btw, I think I've worked out a schedule. You'd just have to have the commish randomize the weeks.
