# of rounds in amateur draft = 5 * the # of levels of minor leagues in your game
For example, you have a parent league with AAA, AA, A, and rookie leagues. That's four levels of minors. 4 x 5 = 20 You should configure your parent league to have 20 rounds in the amateur draft.

I never really understood this part. Is it by level, or by actual number of teams? I have 7 Minor League teams (AAA, AA, A, A, S A, S A, R). That is technically 5 "levels" but 7 "teams". Would I use 25 rounds (5 * 5) or 35 rounds (7 * 5)? For a standard MLB setup, what are you all using for feeder team settings / number of draft rounds?
