I have both a quickstart and a template saved. For some reason the template does not load the logos but the quickstart does. The only negative, if you feel it is, is that I accidentally deleted the WBC before I saved it as a quickstart. How can I best share it?

After month 1 in the MLB the Nats, Yankees and Cubs are tied for first place with 11 teams within 5 games of them. Currently, the Pirates, Astros and A's are in the relegation positions.

In the International League, Oklahoma City, Nashville and Durham sit in the promotion positions. Toledo, Indianapolis and Albequerque are facing relegation.

The United Baseball League has Mobile, Tulsa and Pensacola looking at promotion. Corpus Christi, San Antonio and Mississippi are in danger for relegation.

NABL action has Lynchburg, Potomac and San Jose in the promotion slots. Relegation teams currently are Inland Empire, Lancaster, and Palm Beach.

In the Frontier League, Washington, Joliet and Trois-Rivieres are in the top 3. Facing relegation are Santa Fe, Hollywood and Garden City.

The USBL has Kannapolis, Ft. Wayne and Bowling Green in position for promotion. Relegation is looking for Great Lakes, Lexington and South Bend.

On May 1st the English Premier Baseball League has a 4 way tie atop the standings. Arsenal, Sunderland, Hull City and Middlesbrough all sit at 16-6 after one month. Facing relegation are West Ham United, Leicester City and Everton.

Meanwhile, down in the Championship Barnsley, Wigan Athletic and Wolverhampton sit 1-2-3 in the promotion positions. At the bottom and facing relegation are Aston Villa, Blackburn and Huddersfield Town.

League 1 action has Oxford United, Bury and Oldham Latics in the promotion slots. The Latics have an even record with Shrewsbury Town but a road differential of 17 runs separates the two. In the bottom three are Coventry City, Milton Keyes, and Walsall. Run differential being the safe harbor for Charleton Athletic and Chesterfield.

League two has Morecambe and Crawley Town tied for first. Things get interesting when looking at that third promotion slot as we have a 5 way tie. With a +54 road differential Cambridge United currently has the third promotion spot.

My man...this is a huge task. Love it and will be following. Do you have plans to add more leagues as you progress through the years? I know you mentioned Germany earlier.

[4maddux_cy's]

I want to include more at some point. I would like to add lower levels for Mexico and Italy as well.

I made a huge mistake at one point that I'm frustrated with. When progressing through March I kept seeing MLB teams announcing signings. Finally I checked them out and they must have been fictional players created for the other leagues. Several of the guys are really good and sitting toward the top of MLB stat categories.

I've thought about deleting them but idk. Any suggestions?

[eck.nicholas]

Not really...i'm not 100% when it comes to settings and keeping super players from joining leagues.

[4maddux_cy's]

I think I am just going to leave them be. I mean, eventually players were going to start getting snatched up by MLB anyway. It's the only first division set at a 10.

[eck.nicholas]

I'd consider setting each first division to 10 or 9. You don't want the US champion always winning the whole IBC Cup. It would get bland quickly.

[4maddux_cy's]

My plan was to have the other first divisions improve in prestige over time to eventually get on even par.
