Pretty sure it is a spell in Harry Potter.

That is how I knew it was a real word.

Although, on second thought, I’m also pretty sure most of the other spells aren’t real words.

Might have to rethink that approach.

Technically, i did NOT find the definition in Websters or other standard dictionaries. But it was online so it must be true.

Anyone have a recommended schedule besides play each divisional opponent x2 then the rest of the league x1?

1) use last year's power rankings and have the top 4 teams play each other twice, and the rest of the league once.
2) use the draft position as the basis - first 4 teams to draft play each other twice, the rest... once.

Have to play your division x2 each or it's pointless to set up divisions at all, no?

Division winner is still 1st way to get into playoffs

12 teams, 14 week regular season (I think division x 2 and one each for rest is best way)

But having fun with scenarios….

3 divisions (14 week regular season)
Play your division x 4
Take standings after week 12
1st in division play other two 1sts
2nd plays other two 2nds
3rd vs 3rds, 4th vs 4ths
Playoffs are three division winners and next three highest scorers

4 divisions (15 week regular season)
Play your division x 3
Play everyone else once
Playoffs are four division winners

Wasnt it YOUR idea to ask for alternate suggestions, Mr. Play-Your-Divisions?

I worded my question poorly - I should've asked if someone had a schedule grid that showed how to layout the divisional games and rest or the matchups.
I like the 1st 3 games vs division and last 3 games vs division with the rest in between but didn't know if the previous schedule makers had a different set up

Well, since FF tries to emulate real football, was hoping to implement a format like the NFL...

...play your division twice, then the best teams (power rankings) from last year should play each other, even if that means divisional rivals play a 3rd time. Then everyone else.

that's how I have my 16tm dyno schedule set up - play the same seed in each division and also the other 3 teams in 1 other division with the 3 divisional matchups on the bookends. Think we added 1 reg season game last year with the extended NFL schedule but don't recall

D2 has always been play your division 2X, play one other whole division, play the two teams with the same finish as you. Then the 13th game was completely random. I don't remember what we did adding the 14th week last year.

growing up with multiple siblings in a competitive atmosphere, we always had the rule that whoever won had to clean the game up, to prevent any extra gloating and hard feelings....so @Sam Sportboy - you gonna run the KOTF league????

(I reactivated the league, in case anyone didn't see the email)
Lol..............um, no. Yoose guise would be super sorry if I did too. BTW, I'm in!
