As we transition to an AI generated schedule, there will be a few hiccups and growing pains. The first week of the schedule is posted. For those interested (or think they can do better - I like your confidence, but you aren't doing better than Cara or AI Skynet. That is, unless you can design Cara-Net, or maybe Sky-Cara).
🤪 533 conflicts were submitted.
🤪 This is 6.6 conflicts every hour across 81 hours.
This does not factor in:
🤪 75% of the league "blacked out" or put a zero at the latest time slots. This will be impossible to accommodate. All teams cannot play at the early slots.
🤪 66% of the league took week one off. What is going on this weekend that I wasn't invited too?!?!?! Hence, week one is far from perfect. We will have to modify how these days are "blacked out" in the future.
🤪 Teams with conflicts with an 80% flex score, may have a 12% flex score after their multi-team conflicts are accounted for.
🤪 The black hole of conflicts (remember there is 533 of them!). One conflict begets another conflict, which causes another conflict. It is a rabbit hole that would be schedulers do not want to go down!
For those playing in other rec sports, the PIT wagers you won't receive the same flexibility in scheduling. In return, we ask that you appreciate that there is no way to be 100% correct for every player and every team. The computer algorithm has calculated the odds of zero conflicts in a 131 team league, with 81 hours, and 533 teams in conflict with each other to be exactly 0%. That does not even factor in, south vs north teams, earlier vs later teams, etc.
BUT WE PROMISE TO KEEP WORKING TO MAKE THE SCHEDULE AS BEST AS POSSIBLE. Skynet learns. Winter will be better, Spring will be even better, Summer better yet. And will continue to get better until Skynet becomes sentient and wipes us off the planet.
Remember 2029 is only five years away:
We appreciate your patience as we transition to AI. If you had asked me 15 years ago if this was even a possibility, I would have said no! All hail our computer overlords!
