The CCHL schedule will be released very soon and it looks like another fun season upcoming.
We have added four additional days to the schedule in order to try to mitigate the number of three-in-three sequences that happen during the course of the season. This past season we had quite a few of them and with fatigue and potentially reduced durability ratings due to COVID, we didn't want to have too many of them.
The reality is trying to get 82 games done for 22 teams over 156 days, there are going to be situations where the simulator's internal schedule generator can't meet the parameters as I've defined.
The wonderful thing about the Simon T schedule maker is that you can actually go in and edit the schedule afterwards. I've tried to catch as many of these as I can and move them around in the schedule but unfortunately, I'm kind of out of real estate in terms of dates where it's not creating a lot of conflicts elsewhere.
The one thing is that we don't want to run much beyond 150 days in the season, especially next year with expansion looming. 150 days is about a 5 month season and with the prospects tournament and playoffs that gets us to about six and a half months of solid game action.
As you're reviewing your schedule this week, please know that it's been reviewed pretty thoroughly. If you do see a scenario where you have more than two instances of three games in three days, please let me know as I might be able to fix it somehow still.
