Thank you so very much for answering our league's questions. Your feedback did a great deal in helping us get the financials right (something that I've tinkered with since the league started). One unique aspect of the league that we added was the USBA Cup, modeled after the FA cup. We have a monthly break to play a 3-game series for an association-wide tournament. I'll be awarding cash to top performers. I'll also be awarding (or deducting) fan interest based on how well the team would be expected to do in the tournament. |

Sorry to drag this thread out of the archives but this is a style of league that I am attempting to create for my own single player league.
Just a few queries I have around some of the intricacies I've come across while running some tests: - How do you prevent a non-rookie from winning Rookie of the Year when making their first appearance in a league? e.g. a huge batter started out in the second tier and then signed for a top tier team as a free agent after 3 seasons. In his first year in the top tier, he won ROTY but he wasn't necessarily a "rookie" as such. - At what point do you perform the promotion and relegation and how is this done? I have my amateur draft scheduled to take place in the offseason so ideally the newly promoted team would pick #1 in their new tier and the relegated team picks last in their new tier. These seem to be a couple of the foibles I've come across while using OOTP16 to set this up. |

I've been running my league in OOTP 14. I don't know whether it is substantially different in 16, which i am going to try to migrate the league to, but here's how I handle it.
To control ROY, it helps to manually manage the awards. I ask the computer to choose when I get there, but if you see a non-League rookie win a division's rookie of the year simply because they are new to the level, you simply move the next true rookie in the voting up to win the award. If all of the finalists are not true rookies, you will have to find the best true rookie and move them manual into the award's top spot to win. Keep a sharp eye out, because most of the time a non-rookie wins when their team is promoted or relegated, but if you allow trading between divisions, sometimes an ROY can sneak through that way. And if you accidentally close the voting without checking the award, it will be too late because the game does not allow you to go back and manually change it. On promotion and relegation, make the changes the very first day of the offseason. |

Whatever your game tells you the first day of your offseason is, that's when you move them. Do your awards voting first, though.

Wow, this is fantastic! Not to derail the thread, but how hard is it to create a fictional world with fictional nations, flags, etc?
I figure since I stick to fictional players and teams, I might as well go all the way and try a fictional world too. |

It's not that bad. I've done it in multiple versions. Even included SimCity in one. Takes as much time as you want to invest in it.

Typically the changeover date is January 1, unless you manually edit the event schedule.

In any event, my goal is to have teams go into the offseason in their leagues already, so that they make the moves (trades, signing, etc.) appropriate to their level. |

OK, well, I don't know why yours shows up different. Different version, maybe? I used 14 and 16 for mine.
