Schedule Templates
A schedule template is a generic schedule, one with a certain
divisional structure and season length. But instead of containing
real team IDs, it has place-holders. If you have a league or
organization that has the same divisional structure as the one used
in the template, the actual teams in your league can be merged into
the schedule template to form a real schedule.
To create a schedule from a template, or to save a schedule as a
template for future use, you must first open the schedule editing
window. To do this, use the View>Organizer command to open the
Organizer window, click on the Schedules tab, click on the
schedule you wish to work with, then click on the
Modify button.

description pulldown to browse the
collection of templates and select one that matches the structure
of your league and the length of schedule you're looking for. When

choose the Start date for your schedule, and then click on OK.
