------------------------------- Belgian 8-Level Tree for FM2013 -----------------------------

------------------------------------- BETA1 by dustShadow ----------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This modification will give you access to the complete Belgian league pyramid and it features all teams currently playing in the official leagues of the KBVB/URBSFA (the Belgian Football Association). Belgian football has been in a dark gap but has been on the way back lately. The national team counts many star players from the Premier League and Belgian teams have gained better results in the Europa League. The historical top teams are Anderlecht (current champions), Club Brugge and Standard. New contenders are Racing Genk and AA Gent.

THE LEAGUE STRUCTURE

- The Belgian league is a straight pyramid with the 16-teams in the Pro League at the top. It features 8 levels, divided in two groups of four levels.

- On top are the four national leagues: Pro League, Second Division, Third Division (2 groups), Fourth Division (4 groups).

- The other four levels are organised by the nine provincial entities of the FA. Each province has four levels with a Provincial First Division on top and a varying number of Provincial Fourth Divisions at the bottom. Luxembourg province only has three levels.

- Champions always promoted to the next level, other promotion places are decided by play-offs.

- The Pro League has a very complicated structure featuring three play-offs. The top group decides the championship

FULL VERSION WILL FEATURE

- All 127(!) leagues in the pyramid included. Note that five leagues are not playable since they contain only B-teams.

- A complete Belgian Cup starting in the First Round

- The Provincial pre-season cups, now in a 'more' correct format.

- Correct kits for almost all teams and correct stadium names. They are also assigned the correct hometown, as all cities have been added

- Special attention to keeping teams in the correct regional league, using both the Regional Leagues tab and league boundaries

- A lot of additional media sources and numerous real-life managers added.

- One DBC-file for each province, to speed up processing

LIMITATIONS AND ISSUES

- Period Championships are not included in the provincial leagues. In real life, play-off candidates are determined by the teams that perform best in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd thirds of the season.

- Provincial cups have a different format than in real-life. The real life format is often very strange, including a ranking system instead of a normal group phase.

- Only the winners of the Provincial Cups qualify for the Belgian Cup; IRL, all teams that qualify out of the first round qualify for next year's Belgian Cup.

BETA RELEASE

- This beta release includes the complete trees for the provinces of West-Flanders and East-Flanders.

- The club logo's aren't included yet, but most other features are completed and working

- Please report any problems so I can fix them before final release.
