Hey,

The schedule has 4 parts:

• Wildcard games from week 1-3
• Intra-conference battles from weeks 4-10
• Inter-conference fights from weeks 11-18
• And the stretch run of deciding intra-conference games from weeks  19-25

My fun fun fun notes on how the schedule was patched together are at the bottom of this page.

Weeks 1-3: Wildcard games

The wildcard games are inter-conference games picked at random to fill out the 25 game schedule. We picked the first week out of a hat at the draft.

Weeks 4-10: Intra-Conference Games, Round 1

This is the first round of intra-conference match-ups.

Weeks 11-18: Inter-Conference Games

Each team play every team outside their conference between weeks 11 and 18.

Weeks 19-25: Intra-conference Games, Round 2

We wrap-up the regular season with each team playing every other team in its conference.

Making of the Schedule

Some mindless trivia on how I "cooked up" the schedule:

• First off, the schedule is assigned randomly and created using placeholders (like east1-east7) and teams aren't assigned (out of a hat of course) until the very end.
• The regular season is 25 games. Each team has either 12 home games and 13 away, or 13 home games or 12 away.
• Week 1 is all inter-conference games pulled out of a hat at the draft.
• Weeks 2 and 3 are random inter-conference games as well. Each team will have one home game and two on the road, or visa versa.
• Each team plays every other team in its conference twice... once at home and once on the road.
• In weeks 11-18, each team plays every other team outside its conference. In these 8 weeks, each team has 4 home games and 4 away games.
