BYE's

[Deleted]

I'd like to ask if the schudels are re-worked to what point, because I had a BYE in week 5, and now I have another one... While Magic notified last week that he has none at all... I have another one in week 16, I think it's not really for nor fun that some teams have 3 byes while others have none.

Got 3 bye's too and also playing the Hawks next week the second time in 5 weeks although they are not even in my division.

This week Strasbourg has a bye. Amsterdam, you are playing the Hawks. Munich, you are playing the Heat.

I know the future schedule is still screwed up, but its fine through this week. Don't worry, everyone will have the same number of byes at the end of the year.

The byes so far in the east have been Boston, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Amsterdam, Cleveland, and now Strasbourg.

I'm confused i played the Heat last week ... so 2 times in a row?

It has been changed then, because I'm 100% positive I had a BYE, and I was playing Atlanta last week, but now I checked and I play Atlanta again.

[Munich Barons GM]

yea he changed it i was playing bobcats monday morning^^ but im still curious why i'm playing the same team i played last week again this week.

Let's switch matchups then OK?

[Munich Barons GM]

Had the Hawks 2 weeks ago but would love to play a team i have not played yet.

PS: hmm since you played atlanta last week it seems that Mighty maybe sliped in the wrong week.

I'd like to ask to review the schedule, last time I faced Atlanta 2 weeks in a row, now I have a 2nd consecutive matchup against the Magic. I'd like to play other teams as well, as it is I play all the strong teams multiple times.

I don't have the time to be anything more than a Mod in this league so I can not address this issue. I also suck as a team and figured I would lose no matter who I play. But if the schedules are truly still messed up, well, then this is not a good thing for the league short term and long term and leads to some concern on my end.

So here is what I think I've figured out. I've been changing the ESPN league schedule to match the one I've made, but mostly just a week or two in advance. I think it was week 7 that I either forgot to change the schedule or didn't save it, and that is why when I fixed week 8 some teams had to play others back to back.

Week 9 is set right now for both conferences (as of 2 minutes ago). Weeks 10-18 will be set today or tomorrow. I'm at home for the holidays and working on my parents ancient computer, so its just a little frustrating, but I'm not trying to mess up another week.

Las Vegas and Memphis had back to back games.
Dallas and Denver had back to back games.
Atlanta and Amsterdam had back to back games.
Munich and Miami had back to back games.
Luckily, no one has had two byes yet.

Because it is an 18 game season with 15 teams, you will play three teams twice. Three teams will get two byes. For those teams that have already repeated an opponent, I will take that into account at the end of the season, so that you don't play anyone 3 times.

Again, sorry for the screwup it will even out during the last week of the season.

I understand that you can't always spend time on the league, but may I suggest finding some help in someone who does have the time to handle things here when you aren't available? It's quite important for the health of the league that these kinda things are properly managed.

[Mighty Mouse]

The league schedule is now set and finalized for the entire season. Three teams in each conference will have two byes throughout the season. Two of those teams have already had both of their byes. Next year we will do our best to make sure that those six teams only have one bye.

If you notice an error in your schedule or have any questions, please let me know.

In the EAST Division, the schedule for this week (#4) has all but four teams having a bye. Just thought I would try to draw this to the schedule makers attention.

Thanks,

Yeah why is it that this still hasn't been resolved. Why do we just keep updating one week at a time?
