"Disbanding" a league?
I'm starting out another go-through of a fictional universe mostly similar to real life history- a major league, affiliated AAA and AA teams (who play shortened 50 and 30 game seasons respectively until the '30s, when they become "officially" minor leagues), etc. This time around I'm also instituting a Negro League, which I plan to have run as its own entity until 1946, when integration begins. I also want to have the league cease operations around 1950, though I'm not sure what the best way to do it is. Is it possible to just set the schedule to zero games from 1951 onwards, or would I have to fudge things, change the league name and a couple team names, and pretend that the league was simply sold off to a new owner and reinstituted as an integrated, short-season independent league?
On a semi-related note, can I create a league in 1899 but give it a zero-game schedule until the 1930s? I want to simulate a Japanese league and have it roughly follow real-life history, since the [league redacted] League wasn't formed until the mid '30s.
