AFBL Announces Interleague Play for 2017

[mstreeter06]

I added a poll with our two options for scheduling if you want to cast a vote. Thanks guys!

[24Rocks]

I want to finally play games in afternoon

[mstreeter06]

A bump from yesterday to say vote about how to configure our league schedule for interleague play in 2017.

Mike you suggested this...

I had this idea regarding schedules and keeping the 162 game season:

30 Inter League games (1 x 3 game series against each of the 10 teams)
72 Intra Division games (6 x 3 game series against each of the 4 other teams)
60 Intra League games (4 x 3 game series against each of the 5 other teams)

Is there a schedule out there with this setup? If so, this would be a 3rd chioce.

I voted 18 v your division. Creates rivalries.

Not that I have got -

I do have one that is as follows:

50 inter league games (5 games against each opponent)
52 divisional games (13 games against each opponent)
60 games against other division in sub-league (12 games against each opponent)

I'll email this one to you for testing

I'm testing now but this new 3rd option might be my choice for 2017 and maybe until 2020 season to keep a balance between the league with the Expansion teams.

I have reset the poll vote so cast another vote. Thanks!

still like 18 division games with emphasis on division games.

[mstreeter06]

A bump for those who have not yet voted. Please do so!

[mstreeter06]

I'll keep this poll open until Friday but it appears we'll go with the... 18 games against your division, 10 against other division in your league, 4 games against the other 10 teams in the other league schedule for 2017. Specifics about the setup of the schedule can be found in this thread but notably this setup includes day games.

[Empayes]

Voted for 18 games against your division. Rivalries are indeed what divisions are all about in the first place.

AFBL votes to set schedule for the 2017...

18 games against your division
10 against other division in your league
4 games against the other 10 teams in the other league

AFBL is tentatively planned to return to non-interleague play in 2018 and beyond.

Bump to remind everyone of how the schedule will be constructed for the 2017 season.

Any chance that inter league play will continue after this year? I like this schedule type because it still emphasizes division rivalries while building other mini rivalries within your own league and against the other league. You also get a chance to play against everyone else.

I would certainly be up for this but we'll vote on it as a league during the season. We can continue it if we have enough GMs in favor of it.
