The scheduler is modified again. Essentially, the ranking is taken out. If you're not interested in the exact details, feel free to stop reading now 
The scheduler's heart is the suitability score of a potential match. To calculate it, the following steps are done:
1. Calculate the win probability (p) of the match as follows:
- Get the team strengths of the two teams.
- Adjust the strength of one of the teams with 5 TS per handicap.
- Calculate the win probability for the teams using the normal ranking formula. In this step, use equal rankings (ie, dR = 0).
- In the above ranking formula, if the normalised strength difference is above 5, use the following instead:
dT = (dT*3) - 10*dT (properly adjusted for who is higher or lower)
- Apply racial factor as normal.
2. Subtract p by 0.5 (transposing the value to be centered around 0 rather than 0.5).
3. Define the distance as the absolute value of p
4. Apply a small random factor (adding 0 - 0.02)
5. Normalise the distance to 0-1
6. Get the base suitability as 1-normalised distance
7. If the two teams are of the same race, multiply suitability by 0.97
8. If either team played the other in their last game, multiply suitability by 0.94
9. If there are any handicaps in the game, multiply suitability by (1-numHandicaps * 0.03)
10. For each team that is NOT the preferred team for the respective coach, multiply suitability by 0.95
11. Scale suitability to 0-1000 (ie, multiply by 1000 and round to an integer).
Now, the scheduler calculates the suitability of all possible (legal) matchups and tries to maximise the total suitability for the entire group of coaches. If necessary, I will explain this process in detail (although I'm sure I've explained it elsewhere as well).
Let me know if you find some strangeness. |

Just to clarify:
There is still the hard cap of 15TS after handicaps. |

The team you click "Activate" for is your preferred team. This makes you more likely to play the team you've chosen to play. |

I'm guessing this will be less relevant but its a good question. |
