My 3 tier, fantasy pro/rel save.

This is a setup I've worked on after doing a few different tests with promotion and relegation. It's a three-tier league, with two 14 team divisions in each league in an NL/AL sort of setup in each league. Each league is meant to have 4 teams (2 from each division) promoted or relegated.

It's full of fantasy players, but I've used real teams to fill out all the leagues. MLB and minor league teams were used due to them mostly having logo's and uniforms pre made. There are (should be) no duplicate Top tier teams, and they all have full minors, so there will be some overlap there.

I've gone through and set all the financials, stadium sizes (with real stadium names, but adjusted sizes to help keep teams competitive) and market sizes so there are a good sampling of large teams (MLB) and small markets to provide a variety. This was the part that my testing found was pretty important.

Making sure each league was different in it's popularity and how much money it produced for the teams was key in trying to keep promoted teams from instantly ruling it's new league. But will probably still happen here and there. Hopefully this will be curbed somewhat by the smaller teams having smaller stadiums, equaling smaller revenue.

I've never done this before, so I hope sharing the league savegame folder is good enough to get people started. Lemme know if there's any errors or stuff I missed. I spent a lot of time editing all the teams and stadiums, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a goof or three in there.
