QUICK UPDATE
When I laid this project out I originally had a 2009 or 2010 quickstart planned. I continue going forward with the 2009 launch. NO ETA. Have about a week or two of file cleaning to do.
These are the additions since the 2008 quickstart:
Leagues Added- Latvian Baseball Federation
- Lega Pro (fifth division in Italy)

TOURNAMENT UPDATES- African Olympic Qualifying Tournament

- Changed Pan American Baseball Classic to an Olympic Qualifying Tournament for the Americas
- Changed Asian Baseball Cup to an Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Asia
- Changed Pacific Islands Challenge to an Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Oceania
Renamed Pacific Islands Challenge to Oceanic Challenge
Renamed leagues in the Dutch Baseball Pyramid below the Overgangsklasse to:
