I've never tried the posting system. I guess it depends on how you want it to work; you could always set the league to not allow free agents to enter/leave, then they'll just sort of percolate along on their own until you need them for your tournament.
I remember making a "World Winter League" for this with different teams, I gave the league a low reputation and allowed free agents to go there if they wanted. So the US team ended up a funny sort of collection of castoffs.
Also, China's 0-5 so far in 2021 after losing all their games in my 2020 tournament. I went through the various leagues and changed some of them to add 1% or more draftees from these countries (and others) so helpfully they'll get better over time. France and England are 0-5 too and the Bahamas isn't any better this year. I've thought about international regional teams, but I don't want to mess with the .xml file and those don't correspond too well to regions I'd want. Like I use "Oceania" for an ANZAC team and that includes Guam, Samoa, etc. which doesn't make sense but for now they don't have too many players yet. I guess you could also add second nationalities to some of the countries, but then you'd have a "France" team with French and German players or whatever which wouldn't make much sense.
