Generate a 14 week fantasy football schedule given 3 divisions with 4 teams each.

Constraints/Rules (Constraint Satisfaction Problem)

• 12 total teams (4 teams in 3 divisions)
• 14 total games
  • each team has 1 rival they play week 1 & week 14 (+2)
  • each team plays 2 other teams twice as divisional oppenents in weeks 2/3 and weeks 12/13 (automatically enforces teams aren't playing the same team in a short span) (+4)
  • each team plays the remaining 8 teams once (+8)
• the schedule is valid (i.e. there are no conlicts for any teams for any weeks)
