It seems like most people who start from the beginning use the simplified structure the game defaults to. (Not judging; the real structure is such a mess.) But I'm getting close to the start of the AA and I've been following the real structure so far.

I figure there have to be some others who follow the real thing, and here are my questions for any of those folks:

- I remember about 10-15 years ago, you couldn't delete the AA subleague after it folded or it would make a mess of your structure. Is that still true?
- So what do you do after the AA goes away?
- And how do you handle the UA (or the PL)?

For the most part, the historical imports and league settings are good enough to make moving through the years go pretty quickly. (It's only taken me a few weeks to get all the way through the 1870s, and I play a day at a time.) I know how to fix the things that don't work right (e.g., not enough errors in the 1870s). But I don't know what I should be doing structurally, or how to set up the schedule for the NL/AA so I don't have to do anything manually.
