It certainly looks like you have really done your homework.
This looks like a great league.
I think I will give it a try.
Thanks for all the hard work and thanks for sharing it.

I have twice put together alltime allstar leagues...one with 16 original franchises and 4 composite expansion teams (expansion teams individually just don't have enough players to compete against the teams with 100 year histories)...I also set up farm teams in separate leagues in Class AAA, AA and A...Players from 1901-1930 were assigned to the Majors...1930-1960 Class AAA...1960-1980 Class AA...and 1980-2002 to Class A.

I included Negro and Japanese stars as well as some of the great alltime minor leaguers, who should have played in the majors, but didn't for various reasons, usually because they were paid better by the minors.

At the end of each season I promoted and demoted players using Ankit's Player Import Editor.

This project took several months to do working at least 8 hours a day...I'm retired...so have the time.

But I soon found it took too much time to research who to promote and demote for 80 teams and 2000 players, use Pierre's editor and then rework all the pitching staffs, lineups, depth charts and other game settings.

I also discovered that I imported players in non-rookie years and this fouled up the OOTPB stats...it listed the players real life records into the game's stats.

I abandoned the leagues because of these things.

I now have a 16 teams alltime allstar league and have learned to import players in their first real season...not necessarily their rookie season...using Ankit's Career Average Database...still had to do a lot of editing the players ratings to be accurate.
