I noticed that the draft picks were missing from my league also. I checked out the this#.txt file and found that the picks were there but the WIN/LOSS summary line was missing. That is the line that starts with a 6 tag and the line after it has the teams wins and losses info. Then the line after that is a 6 tag with the next years start. I simply put a 1 in the line between the two 6 entries (with no info on the line, just a 1) and it processed.

I think CATOBASE looks for the summary line to determine that the next 6 TAG is the start of the next season......This is not a CATOBASE error but for some reason the this# file is not in the expected format for CATOBASE.

I ran a 4 team test and it worked. But the this#.txt file was different. It had a summary line. This may be a problem within OOTP 6.5a not writing out the this#.txt file correctly.
