Was this ever done, or is a workaround still needed?

Workaround is still needed.

Issue is in real life, if you're draft eligible you don't qualify for the DSL. But there is no such limitation in the game.

The fix is to make a new region in the world_default.xml file that's all nations, minus the US and Canada. Then you reload it into your league and in the DSL settings, make sure it's set to that region and then under the roster options go "no foreigners". That option will ban everyone in the list that's not in their region...in this case the US and Canada.

Do you have a step by step process for how to do this?

Copy/Paste from another thread(the IDs haven't changed from 18 to 19)

Last part of the world_default.xml is the "World All" region that has every country listed. Copy paste that region, edit it to:

<REGION id="81" sort_order="1390" name="DSL Qualified Players">

Then remove the nations of 4 36 79 151 202 206 229 , which is the US, Canada, and the territories.

After you edit, you can go in and just go into the database part of the settings and reload the world_default.xml file, and you'll see the new region to set for the DSL.

The region is what foreign players are determined from, so this will allow everyone except US/Canada/Territories.

EDIT: added patch file

where should this file be placed exactly?

NOTE: Change that new region id from 81 to 180, region 81 exists being 'US State: Alabama' Didn't catch that before. The ids just have to be unique, not in any particular order. You make the changes to the world_default.xml in the database directory

so do I just put the file provided above into the database folder? does it need to replace the "world_default.xml" file?

No, you just add to it. The only thing you're doing is adding a new region. It's no different than any of the other regions in that file, other than what countries it includes.

ok, now after doing this, do I still need to select a region (latin American, carribean, etc) and not allow foreign players in the league...or is this now counter-productive?

[PSUColonel]

Ok... I am trying to find the region titled "DSL qualified players" but I don't see it in the list
