I am getting ready to start my first OOTP league as Commish, and I had some general questions that I did not see on an FAQ. (I am currently finishing up my last season as Commish for a FPS-BBPRO98 league and want to move to something better.)

1. Is there a way to normalize the finances to minimize the "small market" vs. "large market" parity in an online league? I want to avoid too much disparity between teams' available finances.

2. If I have a smaller league (14-18 teams) and want to have all teams play each other in the regular season, AND want playoffs; can I do this? I know you need multiple divisions to have playoffs, but I don't see an option to have the schedule bridge divisions (ie. interleague play).

3. I see that if I upload the "League File", those with the game program can edit that and I can import their changes. Is this "league file", the giant *.lg directory, or is there a concise league file that is updated? Or is this done with the individual team *.CSV exports/imports?

4. Finally, I see the option to have your league on the OLS (online league server). What does this mean? Is this free, or is there a charge?

Thanks for your help.
