Modifying default league file

How much experimenting have you Commissioners done with league files?

I've opened them up and added files, then re-packed them and put them in the upload directory, and they've worked fine, when owners have download via the "Load Online League File" command.

Does anyone know the default level of compression which OOTP9 uses when it creates the tar.gz file? I get the impression it's about an average level. If a league file were to be created with the tar.gz at a greater level of compression, could the game still handle it? I use PeaZip to make tar.gz files, and it has the option of an "ultra" level of compression that makes files about 10% of the size of files compressed at the normal level. I've used it extensively and the zipped files are always high quality. It would be keen for me to be able to provide my owners with a 3MB league file instead of a 33MB one. That would make packing extra files into the tar.gz league file (such as the whole season's box scores, replays, etc.) more tenable, as well.
