Good questions. First off, I have played exactly one season in my league, and as a minor league manager, so I am not drafting anyway, so it's possible I haven't set things up in the best possible way.
College teams play 50 games, starting January 2nd. They finish by the first week in March.
High school teams play 40 games, starting February 2nd. They finish by late March.
Things I'm already thinking of changing:
1. Might switch HS to start at the same time as college.
2. Going to turn off playoffs for the HS and college teams. I don't care about their playoffs, and they cause the games to go later into the spring.
Draft is on the 25th of March. There are two months of negotiations, and the rookie leagues start around April 15th. So, players who sign within the first two or so weeks will be available for the start of the season. Players whose contract negotiations drag on will miss the start of the season.
