Is the only way to alter a schedule really to go into access and change each individual game each day? I mean I started a 32 team league with a fantasy draft only to see a 90+ game schedule.

My team has a stint of 11 games in 11 days, as well as 3 other instances of having at least 5 games in consecutive days. Maybe there's a way to get a random game schedule made by inputting number of teams & how often they play non conference, conference, and division foes & how many games you're trying to get overall.

For instance, I could input a 32 team league into the prograam with 2 games against each non conference opponent (32 games), 5 games against each division foe (15 games), and 3 games each aginst other conference opponents (36 games), giving a total of 83 games. Also this would help to give a different schedule every year, so you aren't always playing the exact same schedule every year.

just a thought, after explaining the idea on here it sounds like a decent amount of work to be put into a scheduling program for the game.

It's all about someone sitting down and writing the code for the program....I've looked through Access and there is no way I'm going to be able to make a new schedule.

Yes this is the only way to do it right now. Random dynamic scheduling is highly, highly difficult and complicated and was not included for this reason.
