Schedule Formula

[gottimd]

How does the scheduling work in FOF? I see in the directories the FDT files called "Schedxx.fdt" but I can't read those. I wanted to develop something that shows who/what your possible upcoming years schedule would be like as the season progresses. Is there a set code in FOF that does this at the end of each year or is it predetermined years in advance?

There is a set schedule of who you will play.

* You will play teams in your division twice. (6 games)
* You will play another division in your conferece. This rotates each year to cycle through each division. (4 games)
* You will play a division from the other conference. This also rotates each year to cycle through each division. (4 games.
* If you finished 1st in your division, you will play the other two 1st place teams in your conference that are not already on the schedule. If you finished 4th, you would play the other 2 remaining 4th place teams in your conference. (2 games)

I hope that helps.

Dola - I believe that cthomer5000 did the work in identifying the pattern. He also determined that the initial year doesn't quite follow the pattern because it matched the NFL schedule.

Note that which team you play which week is also pre-determined, or so it seems.
