When all teams play in one division, you should have balanced schedules to insure that all teams are playing the same teams the same amount as everybody else. Otherwise, some teams get a slight advantage by playing weaker teams more often than other teams. With a 12 team league, this means 154 games (14 games against each opponent). The next highest total allowed in a balanced schedule would be 176 games (16 vs. every other team). You could make up the 8 games with inter-league play, but this would unbalance the schedule. Not a huge deal, but I don't like teams getting any kind of advantage, however slight.

You have to have the blank nickname file in place BEFORE you create the league. Once the league is created, the game does not read the name files anymore. Re-importing the name files does not work because it only adds the names from the new file and does not remove any names that are already in the game.
