Schedule is made and forwarded to kayakyakr. Everybody will play 2 games per week for 11 weeks, so each team will play a total of 22 games before the playoffs (which proceed as they normally do). To make divisions actually matter, we will play our divisional opponents twice over the course of the season. Along with that, we will play every team from the other division in the conference. With the remaining 9 games, we will play 9/10 of the teams from the opposing conference. Sadly, that means that everybody will miss out on playing one cross-conference team, but maybe you will see them in the playoffs!

In the interest of transparency, here is the randomized order that will correspond to division assignment:


Conference 1
Division 1: Will Styles, The Piper, HOTLANTA MAN, Spintzel, komet
Division 2: Webbeh, LeeMajors, vyst, Metapod, DC Murderverse

Conference 2
Division 3: Mr. World, Fork of Unknown Origins, JesusTheDarkLord, kayakyakr, Scionix
Division 4: Dilber, jabro, TheFlyingLlama, Ninja Bob, Taxes

Who will not be playing each other this year you may be asking?
Will Styles & TheFlyingLlama
The Piper & Scionix
HOTLANTA MAN & Ninja Bob
Spintzel & Dilber
komet & Fork of Unknown Origins
Webbeh & kayakyakr
LeeMajors & Taxes

I went ahead and randomized our drivers for the weekend's race if Webbeh doesn't mind. Initially arranged by last year's finish and current NASCAR rankings (at least what Google tells me are the rankings, anyway).

Kevin Harvick - Webbeh

OK, so some folks go double-check the rules. I think everything is set up properly (though I don't remember what caused the draft snafu last year... that should still be fixed).

Also, with the expanded schedule, I think we can use a more complex tiebreaker chain, and set it to:

1) overall record
2) division record
3) head-to-head vs tied opponents
4) total on season

Having 8 divisional games is pretty great.
