Big fan of what you’ve put together here and the creativity you have considering the sheer number of teams you’re making, all with unique nicknames, is nothing short of remarkable. Out of curiosity, have you got a pyramid of how all the leagues in this system are connected and what the different levels of it are?

Thanks for this feedback. Post #51 explains the Conferences and Divisions with 12 teams in each Div. If it’s not explained clearly in that post each Div teams plays each other twice for 22 games. Each Div winner win a pennant, no finals then goes with the other 4 divisional winners to the Conference finals. Then each Conference plays their opposite Conference to find the Grand Final participants. This only adds 2 weeks onto the season. Hope that clears it up.
