The whole season on one page
The fall schedule is written out in full: every Wednesday from August 19, two fixtures a night, one at Lakewood Ranch Park and one at Braden River Park, first pitch at 7:00. August 19 opens with Rays against Braves at Lakewood Ranch and Cubs against Pirates at Braden River; the four clubs then rotate through every pairing at both grounds week after week.
Four teams playing two games a week means each club sees each other club roughly every fortnight, at each ground in turn — a properly balanced little schedule, published as plain text where anybody can read it. High Cheese builds a season like that in one pass and syncs it to every player's phone, so a Wednesday moved to the other park still reaches the men playing it.
