NO, I don't mean all season DATE schedule, I want the MATCH schedule like this：

It hasn't been posted yet. I believe it wasn't posted until mid/late season last year so it probably won't be for a while

"A full regular-season schedule will not be released this year, though we plan to release some information once the regular season is over so you can search for specific matchups."

According to that there don't seem to be any current plans to release the full schedule. Things may change in the future, though.

It won't be released this year as TRE pointed out.

Well, then if I can make a suggestion, how about a master schedule that is blank but fills in over time as matches are completed?

Aww...a match schedule is helpful though for planning write-ups in advance though. 24 hours is cutting it a bit tight on workdays especially when you only know who fights who at 11pm and can only start doing the write-up the next day late evening.

You could write them way early they'll face each other at some point right?

While they do face each other at some point, it is best not to write too early about as well. After all, one does not know what would happen to them before said two are paired up. While I do agree that schedule listing is beneficial in a writing sense, the drawback is the suspense. For some, they see the schedule and they would vote on certain days only while ignoring the rest, since they know what it is. As it is now, it is helpful because one does not know who said person would challenge next. While I do agree 24 hours on weekdays to write may be short (12 if one waits until the round is over to write something), it is still enough time to write something down.

"Tachibana Kanade after tearing apart foe after foe like an unstoppable force is finally against her greatest rival. This is the revenge match we've all been waiting for since Misaka Mikoto marred Kanade's perfect record by claiming the Aquamarine necklace..."

You could always just guess what happened in the matches leading up to the one you're writing about. >_>

Possibly a system to mitigate this effect would be something like announcing what matches will be showing up in the coming week on the after-Thursday interim, allowing for writeups to begin during the weekend, while not over exceeding the match by too far and allowing less match voting scheduling.
Usually previous matches make for less of a significant impact to a write up though, and could be added in within the time limit of current match scheduling without great issue.
Although, if someone were only voting for a certain character to win, they should be knowledgable enough to realize that every match is important to a contestant's statistics, and thus, continual voting is actually beneficial to their interests.

I've just noticed the message that the full match schdule won't available this year.
Anyway, it brings both advantages and disadvantages. In different fields.
