Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this “fantasy schedule basketball” thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a ride. I started off not knowing anything about it. I mean, I like basketball, I watch games sometimes, but building a schedule? That’s a whole different ball game.
First, I tried to get a feel for what schedules look like. I just looked at some of the official schedules, like the Wisconsin Badgers. I saw they had schedules for the 2024-25 season. Then I looked at the Florida State Seminoles schedule, which had dates and opponents for their 2024-25 season, too. It was kinda cool to see how they laid it all out, but also a little overwhelming.
I also looked at some flashcards. I read terms like “Which network type uses a coaxial cable to receive its signal?” which honestly just confused me. What’s this got to do with basketball schedules? And there were other random things like “Holiday Fantasy 5K Run – 5:00 pm Holiday Fantasy 2 Mile Walk – 5:00 pm. Food, drinks,” which, don’t get me wrong, sounds fun, but I didn’t see the connection.
Then there was some stuff about audio files, like “Audio – Lossy 49.2 MiB Uploaded by NyaaTorrents on 2012-03-22.” and things like “A social construct refers to:” and “According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,” which made even less sense to me. I was really starting to think this whole fantasy schedule thing wasn’t for me.
But I kept going. I figured, even if I didn’t get it all, I could maybe put together a basic schedule. I started by listing out some teams and dates. Then I tried to match them up. It was a mess, to be honest. I didn’t know who should play who, when they should play, or anything like that. It was like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces.
I did learn a few things, though. I learned that making a schedule is way harder than it looks. There are so many things to consider, like travel, rest days, and making sure the matchups are fair and interesting. I also learned that there’s a lot of information out there, but not all of it is helpful. You really have to sift through a lot of stuff to find what you need.
- Started by looking at real basketball schedules.
- Got confused by some random flashcards.
- Tried to make my own schedule, but it was a mess.
- Learned that it’s a lot harder than it looks.
- Realized there’s a lot of information out there, but not all of it’s useful.
In the End
In the end, I didn’t really create a full-blown fantasy schedule. But I did get a better appreciation for the people who do this for real. It’s a lot of work, and it takes a lot of knowledge and planning. I might try again sometime, but for now, I’m happy just watching the games.
