Lightbulb MLB Dream Bracket Quickstart available!

Hey everybody,

as you probably know, MLB ran a great all-time best tournament of 32 teams, the current 30 franchises and their best players of all time, a Negro League All Stars team plus a current MLB 25U Stars team.

Here's how it all played out:

You can play this Dream Bracket in OOTP 21 today, as we have just made the Quickstart Game file available:
Dream Bracket Quickstart download

To install, download the file and unzip it into the quickstarts folder of the OOTP data folder. To locate this folder, do this:
1) In OOTP, open the Settings dialog (File menu or on the bottom of the entry screen)
2) Go to the Troubleshooting tab and click "Open folder containing customizable data".
3) This opens a Windows explorer or Finder window, open the folder "quickstart_games".
4) Copy the file you downloaded there, and then unzip it, including the subfolders.
5) You can now from the OOTP Entry screen create a Quickstart game (may have to click the "Show More Modes" button for the Quickstart option to show up) and the "MLB Dream Bracket" will be in the list.

Have fun!
Markus
