I don't really care what the schedules are in the meantime

I've also been thinking that for my purposes, I'd be better off with a single subleague with 10 8-team divisions. The autogen schedules have not come out usefully at all, so I've been considering:

7 league opponents x 14 games each (3/4 home and home)= 98 games
3 game series x 18 (one three game series against 2 teams per each of the 9 other divisions)= 54 games = 152 total games

Then (I think OOTP would automatically rotate teams each season) each season a given team would play a different two teams from each of the other 9 divisions. This would be a reasonable approximation of what I'm trying to do creating my fictional world (which would also feature various national and international exhibition tournaments before and during the season, sort of like international soccer). And having just one megaleague would allow me to pretend it's an association too for sim purposes.

In a perfect world, I'd associate the 10 leagues in a "national association" and then make them a part of an international association too. I figured out today that I'll get closer to what I want with a single US "subleague" that I can then associate with other international "subleagues" to have a world championship tournament.

But if that scheme doesn't make sense for some reason, I'd be ecstatic with the original scheme too, and live with two subleagues. Thank you so much! If I ever manage to finish stories and/or a book you will be acknowledged most heartily!

Okay 80 teams 1 subleague with 10 8 team divisions 14 games for 98 games in division and 54 games non division (2 opp per division)

Total 152 games.

I will start on this tomorrow evening. Will probably have it done before next Monday.
