Minor Leagues

In a fictional game, is it better to have 1 AAA league or 2 AAA leagues? Same with rest of minors. It's a 24 team league so far, so right now I have it split so like one AAA league has 12 teams, the other AAA league has the other 12.

I personally prefer to split larger minor leagues. My current fictional setup has two AAA's, three AA's, two A's, and so on. I prefer this method mostly for schedule management, future adaptability, and somewhat resembling the real world proliferation of minor leagues over the years. Especially for AAA, I don't see a whole lot of nice 144 game schedules for larger sized leagues. If you don't mind the simple game generated balanced schedules then it doesn't matter. Only downside I see to split minor league levels is that they obviously won't play each other and there is no such thing as a minor league association playoff system yet.

It's up to you. I like to have only one league that mirrors my major league setup, but it's all personal preference. There is no one best way.
