I don't have a quickstart saved, but if my league interests you at all I'd be happy to make it available.

Background
In late 2005, after years of legal wrangling, Major League Baseball was disbanded due to anti-trust concerns. For the next decade or so, baseball foundered, relying on a handful of independent leagues and college baseball to keep the spark alive. In 2013, a consortium of potential owners came together with ideas for starting a new league (and capture all of that revenue). After several years of negotiations, 2015 ushered in the first season of the New World Baseball League.

It's now January of 2026, and the NWBL has grown steadily in popularity. Heading into its 12th season, Funky Times follows the managerial career of Paul Funk, a former NWBL player.

League Details
The New World Baseball League is a completely fictional league consisting of the following:

24 teams split into 2 subleagues with 2 divisions each.
5 levels of minors, although the rookie, S A, and AA levels are each split into two different leagues with 12 teams each. Each major league team has one minor league affiliate at each level.
College and high school feeder leagues provide all draftees.
All ratings and potential ratings are disabled except for the overall potential rating and "other" ratings (baserunning, bunting, etc.)
Most rules, overall, are similar to modern MLB, including free agency, rule 5, trading, etc.
Custom uniforms/logos for all teams

You can ignore the bit about Funky Times; that's just my dynasty report about it.
