So, my original plan stands and my concern that grouping countries together in one of the independent leagues would not work out right is still what I think.

These independent leagues that you set up WILL be feeder leagues to your major league. To try to set up feeder leagues to the feeder leagues would be doable, but would add a whole lot more teams to the mix and slow the simming speed way down.
Yes I don't think I will do a feeder league. I don't think I'll even have minor leagues in the independant. Hopefully that doesn't create an issue.

I'll have the major league and then three levels of minors there, and then just the independant league, perhaps with a reserve roster.

I am also planning on allowing each country team to have *some* foreigners... I will probably set the foreigner limit somewhere between 3 and 5, for a few reasons ... I don't think the AI knows NOT to try to sign players because of foreigner rules (I hope I'm wrong), so if a US team goes after a Cuban stud, I want them to actually be able to have a spot to play them ...

I don't want it to just be a foregone conclusion that a player either signs with his major league nation team or keeps playing in the independant league. I need some free agency offer drama!
