I'll set up a very large "North Carolina" league, with 128 teams (16 divisions of 4 teams) from cities and towns around the state. I set the modifiers so that scoring is greatly increased (the league batting average is around .340 and the teams average 8-12 runs per game). The season is relatively short and 64 teams make the playoffs. Each series is "Best of 7", so the postseason could be 42 games long.

I use AAA and AA minors for each club (also set to create a very high scoring environment).

I don't manage, I just like to watch it all play out.

I just recently learned how to modify the names file, so as soon as I get V9, I'll add a names file with 40,000 different last names and will drastically lower the frequencies of "Smith", etc., so my league won't have so many same-named guys.

Finally, V9 is SUPPOSED to have the playoff seed bug fixed (so #1 doesn't play #2 in the 2nd round), so I'm looking forward to that. I'll also look into the different types of playoff systems that are available in V9 to see if anything strikes me.

Probably sounds crazy... but it's something to do during lunch!
