Thanks again. We'll see how I get on now with my league.

Did you just subtract teams from your teams file or have you added teams as well?

Well thats good that you finally got it to work. Now you cn experiment with what settings you want to use. But once you get everything setup i would advise that you make a backup copy before you even have your first draft.

I only added some from the AA. You dont want to be adding more teams before the American association came along because you barely have enough players for 8 teams in 1871.

Its really up to you but you might go to baseball reference and go through the leagues from 1871-1900 and make a note of the teams you will have in the AL & NL for each. Remember to make a note if a team was in the AA, UA, or PL.
Also if you need a team to change leagues. I tried to be consistent and kept the Philadelphia Athletics in the AL while leaving the other Philadelphia teams in the NL. But in some years you would have weird scenarios like 3 Philadelphia teams. I chose to delete one.

I tried not to use any UA or PL teams. I didnt really want my league going from 8 teams to 20 or more. Most of the players played one year so i dont think it will be to many players for your league if you use RAH.
Keep in mind that around 1877 you only have 6 teams. So you are gonna have to have 2 in one league for that year unless you add a year to a team that folded.
Anyways if you plan on paper, then its pretty easy cause all you are doing is adding NL or AL and deleting the other teams. You may not even have to delte the other teams cause i dont think the game will recognize a non AL or NL team. I just did it to keep it from confusing me later on.
