It's definitely frustrating - I had to recreate a league several times before getting it right, and I'm still nervous after playing out all the games of a full season that I'll find something broken during the offseason and have to play it all over again.

One thing that definitely helps - BACKUPS! First, after I finished setting up my league, I created a quickstart so I could start over with most of my settings in place. Then anytime I got to an important point in the season, I did a backup inside the game. I then navigated to the folder where the backup lived and created a zip file from that folder, naming it "MyLeague-1950-beginpre", for example - to indicate it was made just before the start of 1950 preseason. Then if you want to go back to a specific point in the season, unzip that one folder, do a restore from OOTP and point it at that folder, and you're back in business.

Keeping up with that will help you from having to redo as much if something goes wrong!

Good luck!
