Can you not have an uneven number of teams in a subleague?

I ask because I cant' start my league because of this error. the configuration is 2 sub leagues, with 1 division and 5 teams in each division.

Its my understanding that you can have an uneven number of teams in a subleague, but that you can't do so when you are originally creating the league. This is because OOTP can't generate a schedule for an uneven number of teams. So what you would do is create the league with a 6/4 alignment and then move one of the teams and import a custom schedule once its set up.

That could be wrong, but its what I seem to remember reading somewhere...

AFAIK the game section of world.dat only has the league id and not the subleague id, so if in game setup you move one team from a sub-league of 6 to a sub-league of 4 the schedule should still work. You may find that one team in one sub-division then has a high number of interleague matches.

The best way to do this would be to set up 1 sub-league with two divisions of 5, and then in game setup, add a sub-league and move 5 of those teams across. With a balanced schedule at start-up it should work fine.

Out of interest, are you still in the first year? I'm intrigued as to how the schedule generator copes at the start of the next pre-season - whether you'll have to move all the teams to one sub-league, generate it, and then move them back again.
