Dirty Sanchez Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I run a 12-team league and I want to switch to a 13 week season to avoid the dreaded week 17 Super Bowl. Right now I have 3 divisions with 4 teams each. Playoffs include 3 division winners (top 2 seeds get a bye) and 3 wild cards. How do you set up your schedule? How many divisions do you have and with how many teams? I want teams in the same division to play each other twice during the season and possibly play each non division team once. The 14 week season was perfect for this. Now with a 13 week season the schedule will be unbalanced. Should I just shorten the playoffs to 2 weeks with only 4 teams making the playoffs and keep the 14 week schedule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 If you want to face each taem at least once, you could do 4 divisions of 3 teams each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playoffs start in 14 DOUBLEHEADER Each team plays two opponents per week except week #1. Each team plays divisional opponents three times and all other teams twice.

Steelhead Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 my league has the same situation and here's what I do Double Header in Week 2. Get it out of the way early and before the bye weeks start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
