Expansion Draft Protected Lists Problem

[Orioles1966]

I just started a new league(approx. 180 teams) and wanted to have an 8 team expansion draft also. The league never had the scheduled inaugural draft and went straight to the expansion draft. I filled the rosters with fictional players to take care of problem one,however the computer won't submit the protected lists. There are too many teams for me to submit them so how do I solve this problem?

My head hurts Are you saying you want to add expansion teams before a season has even been played? And you are doing so, before the inaugural draft was even held? If so, I doubt that is even possible.

I've done it many times before(OOTP13) and it's worked. If I get the protected listed filled,the expansion draft should finish. When I hit the inaugural draft tab up comes the expansion draft.

Whenever I have problems with the game crashing,I start over and add a few teams while starting over.

Time is tight with this league because its March 30th and regular season starts on April 10th,however I edit the schedule and have teams start on April 3rd and games are scheduled up to the 10th.

Just thinking. Maybe I should delete the division that has all 8 expansion teams and see if the inaugural draft shows up ,then if it does,have the expansion draft the next day.

Don't like the fact that the game starts on March 30th for another reason. The Midwest League starts league play on April 1st(not every team,just a handful of teams). They play for ten days until every team starts playing.

Deleting expansion teams didn't help.

However,hit the finish day tab and it looks like the inaugural draft took place and waiting for that too complete.

Still need to hold the expansion draft.
