In researching this, I found this:
https://manuals.ootpdevelopments.com...feeder-leagues
Specifically, it states
Feeder leagues have minimum and maximum age limits for players, and once players exceed their age maximum, the players go into the draft pool for their parent league.
This is not happening. It occurs for some that are draft eligible but I have hundreds of players who exited the feeder system that the AI ignores.
Does when the feeder connection is created between two leagues matter?
