@rusty217 I removed promotion and relegation from the FVSL Spring leagues and the file will now test and verify.

I will try removing promotion and relegation from those spring leagues and see what happens. It isn't a game breaker if they don't have them

@rusty217 this may be a stupid question, but would the fact that the leagues I'm having most problems with are Spring leagues have anything to do with it? Every time I run a test, the league mentioned in the error is usually always Fraser Valley Soccer League 'X' - Spring.

See, the parent comp (Canada Level 'X') is only there so I can have leagues at the same level. There is no other purpose. The leagues feed leagues with the same name from level 6 down. So, MMSL Premier is fed by MMSL D1 etc. It is annoying because it worked with pro/rel only in the SSA leagues perfectly fine. It wasn't until I moved higher up that I started having problems.

I've been through every league that kicks up an error and I can't find out what I'm doing wrong. The only dates I enter are the league schedule and the "window" in which the league operates (general tab). The only leagues that I haven't seen an error pop up with yet are at the lowest 5(?) levels (SSA Rec leagues). I want to try and get these leagues sorted before I add the High School leagues as there is promotion and relegation for them too, but they should be straightforward as they have the same setup as the SSA Rec leagues.

Ok, I have the same rules for promotion/relegation in all the divisions with combined tables. The error is usually a different league each time. All levels and divisions have flexible rules and, where there is a combined table, the rules are as you have shown above. If it is a straight league, the rules are as you have shown for the groups, but with 1 team instead of 0: I will attach the file if anyone wants to take a look.

Is there anything here that would prevent a league from finishing in time? Since I've added promotion and relegation to this league, it doesn't finish in time for the season update day. However, in testing, the league plays out fine with teams getting marked as promoted and relegated. But 2024 does not start.

I have done promotion and relegation settings for all the leagues that require them. However, it has now started throwing up a rule about "can't find rules for division with 'X' teams" despite me not having touched the number of teams. I know for a fact that every league in my database verified before I added promotion/relegation. What would cause this issue? Also, do I need to add the league fate for competitions without combined tables?

@rusty217these are the settings that I currently have. It is kicking up an error saying that no teams are getting relegated from Vancouver Metro Soccer League Division 3 and I am unsure why. Group rules ^ Combined league table rules ^ League fate ^

So set up like that in the groups stage and then set up for 1 promotion place in the stage with the combined table.

How do I set up byes for 2 random teams in a round of 64 in a cup competition. This round takes place after a preliminary round.

So I set promotion place as 0 for both groups? This is my first time working with promotion/relegation and I have a LOT of leagues to set it up for (currently 59 leagues).

How do I go about promoting a team using the "winner" of a combined league table? For example, I have a similar setup to the MLS (2 groups and a combined table). I need the overall #1 team to get promoted. Do I just set the qualification rules as normal?

The game does allow u17 and even u16 tournaments. I have added both u17 and u16 leagues in my Canadian expansion file. You just need to make a couple of changes to the 'comp editor' file in the editor. It is a simple enough task though.

Ok, this is kind of related to the thread that I have started here: But this is more of an advanced rules question in general. I have a 14 team division (BMSL D3) which plays out fine when testing..... For the first season. I then get an error similar to the one in the thread linked, but it says "division with 28 teams". Upon looking at the teams in the division in question (BMSL D3) after testing in the editor, there are, for the second season, 28 teams registered. But, the extra 14 teams have come from different divisions. These are divisions that I have not yet added to my file in advanced rules. As an example, I have 'Portuguese Club of Vancouver' who play in the VMSL D3 showing as being in the BMSL D3 for the 2024 season, but the VMSL D3 is not yet in advanced rules and, as such, has no fixtures. My question is this: If I add the rules for the remaining divisions at this level, would that then have any effect on the error as the teams would have a division with rules? I have tried adding the divisions one at a time, but I get the error mentioned.

Do I need to add the hidden stage? I basically copied the 'league' portion of the MLS, but it asks for dates when I try and verify the file. There are no dates in the MLS bit though.

Load it up in advanced rules?

Can anybody tell me how to create a combined table similar to how it appears in the MLS or point me in the direction of a thread that shows how?

Ok, I am really at a loss with this file now. I have removed the problem leagues leagues from advanced rules and readded them one by one, but I still get the same error. I don't know what else I can try. I am attaching the file in the hope that someone else will be able to work out what I've done wrong. Canadian Full Provincial Expansion - FM24 v6.1.fmf

And now it is back to 14 teams. But, when I test the competition, it will play through 2023 with no issues (apparently): However, there are results under errors: Neither of these competitions are at the same level on the pyramid, nor do they have any effect whatsoever on this competition. They have also tested and verified perfectly fine in previous versions of this file. Does anyone have any ideas?

Ok, this has just confused me even more. I have Fraser Valley Division 2 - Spring set up as an 8 team league. All the rules are in place. But, I now get this error: I should also add that Division 2 has EXACTLY the same rules as Division 1 which is also an 8 team league but that has no errors. I can't even test the file as it kicks up an error at the beginning of the test.

Did you ever resolve this issue? I've got a similar problem with my Canadian file.

Here is the latest version of my file. Any team registered for Fraser Valley Division 2 - Spring is under 'Secondary Division'. I can't test the file in the editor due to the error I am getting. I am toying with the idea of pulling the Spring leagues from D2 down as it is D2 where the issue starts. The annoying part is, I only have 1 more Spring league to add after this one.

No matter how I try and set this up, Fraser Valley Division 2 - Spring still keeps kicking up an error. I have 8 teams in the competition. Min/max is set to 8. There is nothing anywhere in advanced rules OR in the competition page that says there are more than 8 teams. But, when I try and test the rules, it says "can't find rules for a division of 14 teams". I didn't have this issue with the Manitoba leagues, which is annoying. Nor did I have this problem with Fraser Valley Premier Division or Division 1. Is there any particular reason why it would be this specific league that would kick up an issue?
