love the game

A hearty welcome to you, Gene. I am also retired and just discovered PureSim a couple of years ago. I am setting up enough associations to play at least 1 year (what I feel is their best) of over 95% of the players but some like Babe Ruth I am going to play 13 different years, 1 in each association. I am not playing an all-star game or the world series, instead I will have an organization winner that is determined by the total of all wins for the organization's teams in the 13 associations. Babe Ruth's different seasons will be playing on 13 different organization teams in the 13 associations, the same will hold true for any player who I use more than one year of. I am spreading those mult-season players around so they do not dominate the relationship between the organizations. I have reworked the schedule so that my 30 teams in each association all play at least 2 games against all the other teams (18 games vs 4 teams of your division, 6 games vs 10 teams of other 2 divisions of the your league, and 2 games vs 15 teams of the other league in the association). I am half way through the 1st association's season and 1/6th through the 2nd association season. I have been entering all the players (multiple years) into an Excel data base so that I can track which association and what team that a player's particular season is assigned to so that I prevent using a duplicate of a player/season on two different teams. I am going to try to get this done before I start the 3rd association playing. I also reworked my season game schedule, I used the 1st one that I did for both of the two associations I am now playing, but decided I needed to change it a little, so I reworked it somewhat. I play many of the games myself, always managing the team with the poorer record, it has been very interesting and fun so far.
