The way OOTP 6.5 works..
As the commissioner you post a zip file - the league owners download and play their games, after each game there is an "export" option.
In the leagues I play in we allow one series to be played at a time which means that the owner plays game 1 and exports, then they sim the day (not exporting the other games), play game 2, etc. After game 3 they go to their team and adjust and then do a team export (on the team setup page there is an option for export team).
They then email the commissioner the three game exports and the one team export (as well as box/log files). The commissioner waits till he has all games and imports them all and creates a new zip for the next series.
It's a lot of work for the commissioner but it makes the game much more fun for online league play. Way back they talked about automating some of the process but then in OOTP7 they removed the feature all together never to be seen again. I always thought it would make sense to create a website or online portal to the commissioner's PC so that people could play their games that way.
The issues with continuing to use 6.5 are that the newer Lahman databases don't work with it and you don't get all the new awesome features and better AI of the newer versions. The first problem is fixed because we have a great OOTP6.5 community that edits the Lahman dbs to work but the other problems obviously can't be fixed.
