style, 30 teams are divided into 5 groups, playing each other once, and ranked into a league table to find out who performed the best.

How to Use These Files

The more playable leagues you load, the better these tournaments work. 
Of course you can use as many however you wish. But, if you are only going to load 1 or 2 nations' top divisions, 
these tournaments will be unbalanced and full of grey players.

Here is a guide, based on how many playable leagues you want to load:

Will you load ONLY 1st Divisions?:
<6 top nations   =    pick a few standalone tournaments, like the IberCup, MIC, ICC, etc.
6+ top nations   =    any or all of the 1st Division tournaments + any of the standalone

Will you load 1st Divisions and 2nd Divisions?:
6+ top nations' 1st  AND  <3 2nd   =   any or all of the 1st Division tournaments + any of the standalone
6+ top nations' 1st AND  6+ 2nd   =   any or all of the 1st and 2nd Division tournaments + any of the standalone

Will you load 1st, 2nd and 3rd Divisions?:
all 3 division levels of 6+ top nations    =    any or all tournaments


Using the File in FM: 
Place in C:\Users\*your username*\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2019\editor data folder. Start a new save. When selecting the database (before Advanced Setup), be sure to select the checkbox to enable this file.

Customized Logo Packs

In FM, competitions are given IDs based on the order and combination they are loaded. So, every setup will have different IDs.
To combat this, each of the tournament files are named starting with a 1, so they will load FIRST. Then, whatever custom competitions you downloaded elsewhere will come after.

Pick based on your custom setup.


ALL TOURNAMENTS

Or Singles: 

1st Elite
1st U19
1st B,II,U21
2nd Div
3rd Div
Gothia Cup
IberCup
ICC + ICC Futures
MIC
Norway Cup

1. Open the folder of the competition you want to use.
2. Also open the Graphics folder: C:\Users\*your username*\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2020\graphics
3. Drag and drop the logos and/or trophies folders into the graphics folder.
4. Open FM, go to Preferences, and Clear the Cache, then Reload the Skin.

They should be there!

To make your own combinations, download all the "Singles" competitions you want, combine the logos folders. Then use fmXML to create the config.xml for both the "normal" and "small" folders. In fmXMl, select "competition logos"  and "all filenames are IDs"

Hi majesticeternity, once again, love your work, as it is in BETA I thought you might want some feedback. My setup lets me load lots of leagues, and I have done so with all youth competition files applied, but it seems to throw up an unsustainable fixture schedule. In the screenshot shown, Arsenal Under 23s are scheduled to play 16 games in September, with many on consecutive days and four different competitions in five days. Could they be entered in too many of the brilliant competitions you have created, or is it something I need to do at my end in terms of disabling some of the files?

I guess that if they progress from the group stages in various competitions, the potential fixture congestion would lead to more problems. 

Thanks again, and thanks also for the reply on the scottish dialect post on your other thread. Your work is amazing. 

EDIT - Had a quick scan of some of the other big clubs in same U23 division as Arsenal, and for Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City it seems a lot more balanced, could it just be an issue with how Arsenal are categorised? Just a thought.

Of course, you can disable some of the files for now.

Thank you for the feedback! That is what I want, so it can be made better.

That is strange, that it's only Arsenal. I will try to remove them from as participants from some, and schedule the competitions further apart.

Thanks majesticeternity, if it helps, Arsenal Under 23s played 77 games in season 1, and Chelsea's 44. I know some may be to do with progressing or not progressing. However, it looks like the tier they are in (whichever way teams are allocated) at the start of season 2 is more reflective of their real life status. In season one, they played in cups like the Dublin Cup and Galway Cup, in season 2, they aren't in either, and the level of team in those cups looks well below Arsenal. Could it be something that only impacts on Season 1 (depending on game start date), and then resolved itself based on your code season 2 onwards? 

When checking, I also found that for both the Dublin Cup, and Galway Cup, there are no previous winners when you look at season 2, even though teams won both in season 1. I understand that the winner progresses to another competition, but wasn't sure if not recording previous winners was deliberate or not. 

The update adds so much realism and meaning to the reserves and youth, thanks again.

Thanks for the input! It is very difficult to figure out all FM's convoluted coding rules, but I will keep trying!

You're welcome! I really appreciate that, as adding meaning to youth was the goal!

I am getting MLS teams invited some of these tournaments instead of their youth team

 

My team was just invited to play in the u19 Asturias International Cup

Yes, unfortunately the way the MLS is set up in the default DB, many don't have youth teams, so it has to pick their senior teams. But only U19 players are allowed still.

Is there a way for the tournament to pick it’s academy teams specifically?  I had to use all virtual players for the tournament so I ended up simming through it

You couldn't select your players from the Academy and move them over?

I tried many ways, and it never would. Possibly I could select by each specific club's Academy, for those that have one.

No, MLS is weird. The academy team are an separate entity. I would have to purchase their contracts in order to have them on the senior team to play in those games.

I’ll be posting an update this weekend , and then download what you wish and run a test save overnight, so a few seasons are run, check how it looks. Play a match or two if you like. If all’s well,  you should be good!
