Schedule Rationale
Per Nibl tradition, the schedule is created with a goal of
balance and randomness for all teams. Here are the relevant factoids
that I can think of:
- The NIBL 2003 schedule is 22 weeks long and each team play 22
games. We niftily weeded out the "short" weeks in the
NBA season: the first week, the last week and All-star week.
- There are no bye weeks, so there are a total of 16 team * 22
weeks / 2 = 176 total games this season.
- The schedule has three parts:
- Intra1: Weeks 1-7 are intra-conference games
- Inter: Weeks 8-15 are inter-conference games
- Intra2: Weeks 16-22 are intra-conference games
- Each team has:
- 11 home games
- 11 away games
- 2 games with each team in their conference, one home and
one away
- 1 game with each team of the other conference
- Of the 8 inter-conference games for each team, 4 are at
home and 4 are away
- Game schedules are created randomly with my lucky Mickey Mouse
playing cards. The full schedule is built using placeholders
(east1-west8). Actual teams are inserted as a last step to avoid
subconscious shenanigans (for example, east4 is replaced with
Aruba).
Doing the Nibl schedule is mindless fun each year. I should
automate it, but what the heck. I am curious if anyone has ever read
this section in the six years of the Nibl. Email me ( thenibl@yahoo.com
) if you've gotten this far and read all this crap... I'm betting
not.
Thanks... yow, bill
