Game Days

Is there a possible way to adjust the leagues so that odd number leagues play on one day and even number leagues play on the next. Seems like there are way to many leagues playing the same day. It could just be circumstance of the leagues I am in.

I think when we had the issue and maint was done some of the leagues merged game days as well, I know 15 and 17 where on a day before 20 but somehow they are on same day now.

NEVER really thought about this until you've mentioned it. Some days I don't have any games to watch. Maybe we should choose more carefully ;)

If it's not balanced now, doing this may also lessen some of the load on the "heavy" days.

You are right, with the issues some of the sims got together that were previously alternating. I've thought about moving them back but it would result in some leagues taking an extra day off to get back into their new schedule, which is why I haven't done it.

Or sim some on Sunday - I know I know, I'm the impatient bad monkey *hangs head in shame*

As an aside...why doesn't the sim run on Sundays?

I actually spoke too soon, after checking it out the leagues are pretty much balanced at this time.

Two main reasons:

1) To give everyone a day off and reduce the likelihood of burnout
2) To reserve a day that I can run scheduled maintenance on the servers which could result in several hours of downtime - something that would really mess up the game engine (as we saw when I was forced to do maintenance during the week)

Ok, must just be the leagues I happen to be in. I have an imbalance but its no big deal.

Still would be easier tho if the leagues alternated. If some have to skip a day I dont think it would be the end of the world. Count it as a league bye week
