Still working on it

Having a couple of problems at the moment, most notably my computer has decided to stop working, so I'm typing this from my backup. Thankfully I can still work on what I'm doing but at a slightly lower speed. I'm not the greatest person with laptops, too small for my liking.

Anyways I'm still trying to work on the league format was planning on doing 3 tiers then a few split tiers below them in order to get some better competition. Sadly I can't seem to get the splits to work.

I had been planning on putting teams like Man
Utd B and Man City B into the league to allow some bigger teams to field reserves and hopefully attract bigger crowds. I've since scrapped that idea and have went for creating teams like London, Manchester, Glasgow and so on that will be affiliated with teams in the area, allowing free movement between the small club and the big club. These clubs will be going into the lowest tier of the league but I'll average out the reputation of the bigger clubs affiliated with them so that the teams will have a higher reputation than most teams. This shouldn't effect the other teams too much though.

My plan was to have a league set up as follows

Premier 20 teams , 3
relegation spots

Div 1 20 teams 3 promotion and 3
relegation spots

Div 2 20 teams 3 promotion and 4
relegation spots

Div 3 2x 20 teams 2 promotion spots in each

Div 4 is where I'm a little unsure. Originally I had planned to have a 12 leagues one for each country but I wouldn't be sure on how to work out how to promote the teams, having 6 teams promoted seems a bit strange. So I think I'll have each doubled into 2 so there is 6 leagues, 3 teams being promoted into each div 3 league. I was aiming to have these leagues be small, around 5 teams each,
amateur teams. Probably play each other twice then have their own little cup whilst the rest of the leagues continue. It's a work in progress



Another issue I'm having is with TV money and prize money. I'm not really sure how much to give each team. In my head the league wouldn't be as big as the major
European leagues so prize money and TV funding will be smaller than the English premier. However I want it bigger than the Scottish league where you only get 1million for winning the premier.
