1. You should be able to use templates. Go to the Advanced tab in the initial league setup. Setup the settings you want and then save it as a template. Then load the template change league and team names, repeat.

2. You would have to do this manually.

3. The league level doesn't matter as much as the Player Creation Modifiers. You might even want to set theses leagues as independent leagues(if you don't want them referred to as minor leagues) and set the PCMs to a level that works (you'll have to experiment with that, start with the same as AAA maybe which is .850).

4 You can set the fee, but there's no setting for time of year. Don't have any experience with this setting, but I'd assume they could purchase players at any time of year.
