Do you remember what "size" is a result of using 7 in the settings? Big? Hey, Leo... Were you a bookie in a previous life? We've got a guy up here, retired now... Lou_The_Shoe. I thought maybe you guys were related.

Ahhh...Maybe those larger numbers are necessary for back in the day when there weren't as many teams? When I first discovered there was something called "Market Size" and "Fan Interest" in my Front Office, I took a peek around the league. I don't remember everyone, but I do remember the California Angeles has a larger Market Size than my beloved New York Yankees. And the Philadelphia Phillies have a MUCH larger Market Size.
