Minor League Owners

[Mister_G]

I created a new fictional league in my universe, and then chose the affiliation after I generated it (because if I do the add minor league function it creates a team for every affiliate and coaches for each team, and I don't want to waste my time going through every coach and deleting them).

However, now I have the problem of all of the teams in the league having owners and finances. Any way to change this?

Did you affiliate each minor league team to a major league team, or did you just affiliate the leagues?

It's likely this. Each independent minor league team will have an owner.

However, in the league settings there is a "clear coaches" function that would be easier then creating the unaffiliated league. This releases all of them, and then in the free agent personnel you can delete all free agent personnel. This could make things easier (and avoid the owners/finance if it is another issue) for the future.

EDIT: To make it a little more clear (I hope)

The OP is trying to get rid of Owners, not Coaches

Try:

League Settings > League & Teams

Then set these:
- League Level
- Parent League

Then under "Financials" of these "minor leagues" you should see: "Minor leagues do not support financials".

Yes, he wants to get rid of owners, but the second part of my post was more to avoid the issue in the first place. He did the affiliation thing to avoid having to delete each individual coach. So if your suggestion didn't work (I do think it will though), he can try what I suggested so the owners never get created in the first place.

Hey, so, this is pretty anal of me, but I don't want to get rid of ALL coaches. Just these newly generated ones. My coaches at this point are former players, so I have to go into each team, shortlist the coaches and then delete them from the shortlist, otherwise they mix in with all of my existing coaches upon releasing them.

As for the affiliations, I gave the league a parent league AND affiliated the teams. It says in the league setup that the league doesn't support financials, but when I go to a team, they still have an owner, media contracts, etc.

You can clear coaches and delete personnel whether the league is affiliated or not. They don't have to be deleted individually.

Clearing coaches will have no affect on owners.

This makes sense. I thought the league just started so there were no coaches/players/etc. yet.

Again, I know clearing coaches does nothing to owners. This was addressing just the computer generated coaches that would be created when you add a new league. The owner should be removed once the team is given an affiliate.

I know, but he said at the beginning: "I created a new fictional league in my universe, and then chose the affiliation after I generated it (because if I do the add minor league function it creates a team for every affiliate and coaches for each team, and I don't want to waste my time going through every coach and deleting them)."

This was what I was trying to address: (because if I do the add minor league function it creates a team for every affiliate and coaches for each team, and I don't want to waste my time going through every coach and deleting them)
