Currently I have two separate divisions with six teams each... North Island First Division and North Island Second Division... with no playoffs... just promotion and relegation.

Would like to expand with two more divisions with six teams in each... South Island First Division and South Island Second Division.

The manual says you can expand in the offseason or the preseason.
I plan to expand during the preseason... is this the best time to expand?

I want to keep the North Island divisions separate from the South Island divisions... can I add the two new South Island divisions to the current two divisions... or do I need to create a separate league for the South Island teams?

Would it be better to set up the South Island League with two divisions... First Division and Second Division?
That way, they are separate from the North Island League.

If I set up two different leagues... North Island and South Island... can I eventually have them play one another in the postseason?

Sorry, If all this is confusing.
Eventually I want the champion of the North Island League to play the champion of the South Island League... how do I set up all four divisions so that this is possible?

I currently use promotion and relegation in the North Island divisions and will do the same thing in the new South Island divisions.
(worst two teams in First Division will be relegated to the Second Division... top two teams in Second Division will be promoted to the First Division)

I will use the screen below to redesign my league.

Am I doing this the right way? … do you have any advice to make this expansion smooth and done properly?

I don't use financials... I will use free agents for the draft... there will be no expansion draft... all league reputations will be Major League (10 reputation)

Would appreciate your help and advice.
