Since my first try at this got screwed up thanks to a possible bug that Lukas is looking into, I've decided to restart from scratch, with a few workarounds, such as no contract extensions unless someone is set to become a free agent the following season, things like that.

I am using the USBL quickstart for this, but I've modified some rules and options. There are 4 divisions, the USBL Major Division, 1st Division, 2nd Division, 3rd Division. 24 teams in each league. 138 game schedule with each team playing the other 23 teams 6 times, 3 at home, and 3 away. Top 3 teams from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions get promoted, bottom 3 teams from the Major, 1st, and 2nd divisions get promoted.

Universal rules and options for all 4 divisions, some of which have been changed.

Active Roster Size- 25
Reserve Roster Size- 15
Roster Expansion Date- August 1st
Expanded Roster Size- 30
Spring Training- 5 weeks long
Spring Training Roster Size- 40
International Complex Size- 15
Trading is enabled, all forms of trading, including draft picks, players on DL more than 7 days, recently drafted players.
Trading Deadline- July 4th.
Amateur Draft Date- November 5th
5 rounds (I'm not sure if the draft pool will be separate for each division or combined for the entire league. If anybody knows, please let me know).

Financials are different for all 4 divisions, so I won't cover those. Also, all ratings are on the 20-80 scale.

Now, the team I'll be taking over, as I said earlier, is in the USBL 2nd Division. They are the Wichita Wranglers. (Wichita was an actual team in the 2nd Division already, but I changed the nickname from Eagles to Wranglers). I will be acting as GM and Manager both. The roster and staff have not changed much, except for some ratings changes, but I'll cover that later.

I'm going to move slowly with this, especially for the next few days, as I'll have a lot of school finals and work going on, but I'll post both the initial opening day roster and the reserve roster along with screenshots, probably sometime next week as I won't be able to get back to this anytime this week. I just wanted to get it set up. Hope you all enjoy!
