We had to completely rebuild this with the new 17 games.

We THINK it's ready for the masses but wanted to let you folks try it here first. Please let us know if it works for you.

I've had 2 people say they had a problem with it only going out to 11 weeks. Anyone have this problem?

If so, can you tell us the number of teams, conferences and divisions you're using?

Hi, Joe. I checked it out. It's very basic. Maybe folks are looking for something with more bells and whistles, especially with the new 17 game-18 week NFL schedule? I know I need a tool like what mfl provides to do most of mine. Honestly, I was pretty surprised the fbg one was so basic. Just MHO.

Got

"Something went wrong...

Unfortunately we do not currently have a schedule for this league setup"

Put in 12 teams, 14 wk schedule, 2 conferences, 3 divisions.

I had to alter the settings from 32 teams down to 16, because your tool does not support conferences and divisions for this type of league.

I would have liked to see some options when using divisions to define how many division games there are.

10 Teams, 2 Divisions, 13 Games,ithas everyone playing 1 non divisional opponent twice and 1 divisionalopponent once. Should be the other way around.

Thanks. What specifically were you looking for? I believe this has everything last year's schedule maker had except for DoubleHeaders. Or am I not understanding what you mean?

Thanks. So is it 2 teams in each division? 6 Divisions in a 12 team league?

Yes, I'm also having this issue. I put in 14 week with 12 teams and 2 divisions, but it only goes to 11 weeks.

Thanks @foxco

I thought that sounded odd with that many divisions but I'm rarely surprised at this kind of thing anymore. Glad it worked. Thanks.

Thanks Folks.

We found the glitch that was causing the 11 Week issue. If you had trouble there, please try again. Thanks.

Not an issue but more of a comment. Even though our leagues don't use home field advantage I know of leagues that do and the schedule generator does not create home/road teams. In my tests I see that Team 1 always showed up on the left side of the schedule.

Any chance to add teams playing Double Headers each week? That was such a great feature to have in the schedule maker.

Question? Concern? Complaint?

We have a ten team league that plays a 13 week season. We've got two divisions. It would seem to make sense that we would play everyone in our division twice (8 games) and everyone in the other division once (5 games). That's always been the schedule for us (and I think I used FBG schedule maker in the past). This year it has us playing three of the four teams in our division twiceand one of the teams in the opposing division twice.

That doesn't seem to make much sense...

Hi @pinto4242Sorry but not this year. Not having double headers in the Free Schedule Maker was one we tried hard to be included but just couldn't make it work. Possibly for the future.

Hi Joe,

I've used your schedule maker for years. It's been awesome and I love it! I run an8 and 10 team leaguewith 2 divisions. 8 team is an unbalanced schedule playing your division 3 times other division once which your site would let me do. Currently I can only get 7 weeks and have no option for unbalanced schedule.

thanks

Seems like the schedule maker is scaled back this year. I used to be able to input my info (12 teams, 3 divisions, 14 weeks) and it would let my specify division games first and last 3 weeks of season. This one just puts the games anywhere

Hello. I have always used your schedule generator for my league because it’s kind of unusual and mostwebsites do not supportour format. I run a 20 team league with two conferences of 10. We play 2 inter league games per season. We were going to play 14 weeks this year. Your new format does not support that type of schedule. Please help!!!

I've been using the schedule generator for years as well. We don't use home field advantage, but it's still nice have to it list match ups that way, just in case we ever move to do so!

Another observation: You use to be able to select how many division games, etc. I run a 12 team, 3 division,14 week (this year) league. I would always choose the optionto have it set for playing division opponents twice and then 1 game against everyone else. Is that what the schedule maker is doing?

One of my leagues uses double-header weeks. Any chance of supporting that?

I've been using this for years but you don't allow for 14 team 3 division schedule any more or the option to choose number of times to play divisional opponents. As soon as I enter 14 teams it only gives option for 2 divisions.....seems limited of options this go around

Having issues with the schedule maker.

Philo Beddoe said:

10 Teams, 2 Divisions, 13 Games, it has everyone playing 1 non divisional opponent twice and 1 divisional opponent once. Should be the other way around.

Please fix this. I have run the schedule maker several times and its always this way.
