TrueBlue4ever Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 As someone who had had to craft schedules for various amateur leagues in my life, it’s hardly as straightforward as one would think. One team in an odd-numbered league will always get the first week off, one will always get the last week off, and saying “every team should get every 7th week off” is nice in theory but almost impossible to pull of in practice, unless one wants the dreaded back-to-backs pretty much all the time. Then factor in the balance of home-road contests so a team isn’t playing nine in a row on the road, and having to accommodate every team’s tenancy issues (BC, Winnipeg, and Toronto are all teams who share their stadium with soccer teams, would not surprise me if a bunch of the others do too) and other issues like conflicting dates for things like concerts, trade shows, etc. as well as accommodating the league broadcaster and it’s scheduling, and it can get complicated pretty quickly. People quick to criticize the schedule-maker should try it themselves if they think it is so simple, you would likely be surprised. Ad for those who say the schedule-makers are trying to stack the deck against the Bombers just to keep things balanced and give the rest of the league an advantage to beat them, well there’s a reason the eye roll emoji has now been added to the site. Take the foil hats off for a moment. Mr. Perfect, johnzo, Blue-urns and 3 others 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the foil hats off for a moment. Still no excuses for 2 byes for some teams and not a single one for others. Sounds like half ass scheduling which falls in line with the half ass everything else the league does.

Bigblue204 Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 TO always has ****** the scheduling up too. First it was because of the Jay's, now it's because of FC. Argos aren't and won't ever be a priority there. wbbfan and Geebrr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpants Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 I don't really have any huge complaints about the schedule... it would be nice to have a bye right about now... but I look at it this way... if the Bombers make it to week 11 at 9-1 or even 8-2... then we're on to the home stretch with three byes and really needing to only go 5-3 or 4-4 to likely secure first place... Hopefully they make it through these next three games with a couple wins and relatively healthy... and then Bombers are laughing for the second half of the year gearing up for a three-peat.

Booch Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 yeah I see no role for Prukop here other than to suck up SMS ....he's not the future here...and he isnt the emergency/injury replacement starter...so whats the point Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the foil hats off for a moment. Nobody cares that making a schedule for your dodgeball league is hard. This is a professional sports league where people can lose their livelihoods based on things like a win-loss record. Having such a slanted schedule for certain teams shouldn’t be acceptable and saying “it’s hard” isn’t an excuse. Professional football teams should never be playing 3 games in 12 days. Period. BC gets their last bye two weeks after we get our first. That shouldn’t be acceptable for either team. Look at how many teams play the last game of the week off a bye. It’s a joke.

I believe through the first 6- 9 weeks that every single team should of already had at least 1 bye,they need to keep these bye weeks consistent every single year. I understand covid has played a serious role in messing this up but how has every team in the east plus two teams in the West have already had bye weeks and we're still chugging along?? We set ourselves up very nicely for late bye weeks,could even be beneficial for us but they need consistency.

Booch Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 Yeah it shouldn't be rocket science or hard to have at least 1bye week per team in the first 10..11 weeks. Noeller, wbbfan, rebusrankin and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
