China Baseball Association Quickstart
UPADTE DEC 2016:CBA IS BACK WITH A BACKUP RESTORED FROM MY EXT HDD!
This Dynasty is a spin off of the China Baseball League Dynasty. Unlike the main dynasty, this league will use the promotion / relegation system and (inspired by the Champions Baseball Association dynasty) feature a number of tournaments. It is a prestige based association. The teams will be the same as my main dynasty, but to avoid confusion, feature completely different players (making it more of an 'alternate universe' dynasty. I will use my solo non-reporting CBL league and players I've been running for 2 years (since OOTP 13) as a base and rearrange the structure. (That league was my basis for the CBL I am reporting)
There are 4 leagues with 10 teams each. Here are the leagues:
Ming League - The top level of the CBA. The reputation is 10.
Han League - The 2nd level of the CBA with a reputation of 7.
Qin League - The 3rd level of the CBA with a reputation of 5.
Xia League - The bottom level of the CBA with a reputation of 3.
