CIS breakdown

The CIS is a 52 team college league feeding the CBL. It is broken down into four 13 team conferences.
Each team plays the other 12 teams in its conference 3 times for a 36 game schedule during April & May. They do not play the other conferences during the season.
The top four teams in each conference enter a 16 team tournament to determine the CIS champion.
The tournament plays through June and early July ending before the CBL draft.

The CIS is based on real CIS teams but is restructured somewhat for easier scheduling.

The template can be used to start over with new players or add the CBL to other leagues.

You'll need the logos and schedules if you use the template. The schedules will need to be imported.

Also you'll need to adjust the CIS creation ages after creating the league and the CIS playoffs will need to be adjusted as you like.

The quickstart is in preseason still so you can still make adjustments.

Feedback is welcome, especially to improve the league.

Enjoy!

Khan,

Is there a way to import the CIS only as a feeder league into an existing league?

[Khan]

Try loading the template and then delete everything except the CIS.

Then save this as a template and add it to your league as a feeder. Should work I think.

The template is saved before league creation so there are no players in it.

If you want to use the CIS the same way I did, then you'll need the schedule which is only 36 games long. If you want more games then you'll probably have to stick with whatever OOTP gives you.

I used custom playoffs but that can't be set until the league is created.

Edit: Actually, I guess you could just add the entire template to your league and just delete the leagues you don't want

[Isedelyod]

Khan,

So, I have tried adding this as a template, everything appears to be loading fine, and when it is complete, I can't find it??? Any ideas. I assume you just place it in the world_templates folder and then choose add template from the league setup screen. Really love to get the CIS as my college feeder system.

any caps and jerseys, specifically for CIS?

If not I'll probably end up requesting them. Or you could if you want to save me the trouble

[Khan]

The jerseys are all game created for the entire quickstart though they are tied to the logo colors.

Yeah it would be nice to have custom jerseys.

I was able to do it by just making a CIS template just by itself. I'm assuming you're trying to add to an existing universe?

1. Create new game with wizard and add CBL as template.
2. Delete all leagues except CIS and save as template.
3. In your existing league offseason, go to your league setup.
4. At the bottom is a templates tab, click and select add template to world.
5. Select your recently saved CIS template.
6. Make your league the parent league of the CIS

You'll have to create players as there are none in the template.
I couldn't seem to get it to work by using the entire CBL template 1st.

[Khan]

See the CIS is now the feeder league of major league baseball!!

[BigRed31]

Just want to make sure I have this right. If I load up the quick start, then do I have to import the schedules and and adjust the CIS creation pages? And if so, where do I do those things? Or is everything all set to go once the quick start is loaded?

Can't wait to start my career with my hometown North Bay Power, thanks!

The QuickStart is ready to go.

If you want you can use the template to start over with new players.
The schedules would need to be imported then if you want to use the same ones in the QuickStart.

The cis uses custom playoffs so you'd need to adjust them if you use the template.
