[Remove rounds from a league competition]

When I said 2 rounds I meant the teams play each other twice, as opposed to the 3 rounds you had before. A relegation playoff would need to be tied in with the league below if it is to be a relegation / promotion playoff. If it's just a relegation playoff then you wouldn't need to do anything to the league below, just as long as it knows the right number of teams going up and coming down. 

Thanks mate, got it done.

Was simple enough to do thankfully

Do I need two rounds then? Is that to include a relegation playoff?

Would I need to tie it in to the league below?

It is not difficult. It is a case of removing the stages of the relegation and promotion groups. Best thing to do is look at a league that has 2 rounds only, and then copy that format, adjusting things to accommodate for 16 teams, and the relegation places you want.

Is it a straight forward job to remove a couple of rounds from a league?

I have been editing the Cypriot league and have added in another competition but this ends up with to much fixture congestion.

The league has 3 rounds.

A league where everyone plays each other twice

Then a championship group and a relegation group consisting of top 8 and bottom 8. I want to remove these two groups and just make it a straight forward league. How difficult is this? And am I likely to run in to problems?

[Simple questions about editing and the editor - just ask in this thread]

I am creating a new database atm and I've run in to a problem with the nations I'm using.

Both are already in the EU and Economic trade area, in terms of agreements. I'm trying to add another agreement and when I do the editor pauses like its adding a new slot but the slot doesn't appear and so I can't add the new agreement

That's brilliant. Yeah, you must not have added any tiebreakers, or the one "do not sort" or something. Any reason why Malta? Does your Channel Islands nation inherit all their coefficients, international qualifying etc?

Muratti (and Island Games, which also includes Muratti) is set up in international rules so could still work. If you went into the rules for the file and changed the "teams" from my created Jersey, Guernsey etc to whichever existing teams are the base for yours, it should be compatible. Mind you if you've created your new Jersey, Guernsey etc from scratch that will be harder

I tried merging your muratti with my Guernsey league and looks like it'll be a fairly straight forward thing to change the countries 😊

They will be, using the Cyprus league system and Maltese league system as a base.

Still got a lot of work to do on it. In the process of sorting out 700+ players and staff to hopefully help with newgen names.

What is everyone's preference for reputation? A really low rep league which would be relastic or a mid level but ultimately unrealistic but able to sign players and have a fighting chance in Europe?

As it stands the Guernsey and Jersey leagues would be well below any Welsh or northern Irish teams in terms of reputation

Do you know which editing tool is used to create the cutout badges? Thats always where I found the problem making them

[[FM23.4] Island Games and Muratti Vase]

I've started work on the leagues now so I'll let you know how I get on.

Yeah the Upton Park Trophy, champions of Guernsey and Jersey play at the end or start of every season. I'll certainly try doing that once I have the leagues figured out

I can work through all the data base in time but I can't for the life of Mr make custom badges. Have you any idea how to do those?

[[FM23.4] Island Games and Muratti Vase]

I just chose Malta as it was a relatively small nation that I knew I wouldn't miss to much in my save game

I changed the teams names in the Maltese league to the ones from the channel islands so I haven't removed any teams. So when it comes to qualifying for Europe and things it all just carry on from where Malta left off.

The national team start in the nations league group where Malta were and the same goes for world cup and euro qualifying

In terms of guernsey and jersey they are created as regions with all the different parishes created as cities in those regions. So I'm not sure how simple it would be in terms of changing that and all the players and staff.

I have been looking at things today and I think I'm going to build a new data base with a separate Guernsey and Jersey based on your Muratti and island games set up. I'll start with that and add leagues, teams, cities, stadiums, media, awards and all the things I had in mine. Will take time but I love doing that sort of thing then being able to play in a fully custom channel islands save 😀 

[[FM23.4] Island Games and Muratti Vase]

I recently made a form of channel islands league system using Malta as the base. Filled with all the teams from Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and even a team for Sark and Herm. Padded it out with some French teams and a couple English ones. Only thing was I couldn't make the nations on there own so combined them to make channel islands a nation.

Populated it with almost 200 platers, officials, managers, ex players and that sort of thing.

Currently playing as a team called L'Ancresse Spartans and have picked up one or two problems. At the end of a season some teams finish with the same record and rather than using games against or something I set it to the message comes up under the league saying team a was chosen at random to finish above team b as they have the same record.

I'd love to add the Muratti to the database but I'm not sure how easy it would be given I've set up a league system and another nation

[[FM21] Andorra (2 Levels) with real rules and new players]

I found the transfer windows in the 1st season atleast to be very quiet. None of the teams brought in any players. I had changed the teams reputation and transfer funds to see if it made a difference but still they bought nobody.

Is there something about the 1st two transfer windows that stop the clubs spending money?

[Can I change the surnames of Reegens coming through?]

I will have to check but I'm fairly certain I changed all languages from catalan to English in the cities I edited and added English for the ones I created

I read on another thread that the first lot of reegens will appear with the previous nations names but the reegens after that will appear with names relating to language and region

It's not a game breaking thing it just doesn't look realistic so if there's a way to change it I'd rather do it before I get deep in to a save

[Can I change the surnames of Reegens coming through?]

I have recently created a database and added the Channel islands in place of Andorra.

The leagues work fine. The only problem I have is that when reegens are created they come through with Spanish names. I have changed the countries Region, I have changed the Cities and I have deleted all players from the nation who had Spanish names and replaced them with French and English names.

I had hoped this would change reegens coming in but the problem still persists.

Is there a way I can change the names of players coming in to the nation to local channel island names or something resembling that?
