Replacing Spring Training with Development Tourney...

[BBGiovanni]

... anyone ever try it? I was thinking of making a cross-league type tournament but couldn't find a spot in the schedule for it. So, if I don't schedule spring training and instead use a development/winter league type tournament with a month's worth of games, does that impact player advancement at all? I couldn't find anything specific in the manual that made this a bad idea.


I thought it would be fun to have regional-type play among fictional teams normally split in different prom/rel levels, so San Francisco, LA, Fresno, Visalia, etc. would all square off for a mini-season. I'm finding spring training for prom/rel even more boring than it is in bigger leagues.


Thanks for any thoughts or negative experiences.

As far as I am aware (and I have asked about WL development in a previous thread), player progression is based on games played. So, as long as the tournament has the same number of games per player, it would theoretically not effect player development




I say go for it

Thanks, I already cut ST to 4 weeks (which I may have posted in your thread, or one like it) so I figure if I get about a month's worth of games in during pool play it will be close enough.

I will, but before I waste time running experiments someone may already have conducted I prefer to ask. And if I've missed something obvious in the manual, this will show up when someone searches for the same answer.
