**UPDATED TO WORK WITH NEW PATCH**
Tested for 3 seasons, no issues found.
This database simulates the Scottish League system down to the Welfare leagues and is accurate as for the 2020/21 season. Levels 1 to 9 have been set up as they are in real life. 59 new Amateur Leagues, 79 new amateur cups, 629 Amateur clubs, 6 Welfare leagues, 17 Welfare cups, 54 Welfare Clubs. Nearly all clubs have correct towns and grounds. lower leagues start the first season in November, most cups are prostponed until season 2. I have tried to find data as accurate as possible, but there will most likely be some descrepancies. I have also rewoked the Scottish Cup to add the correct teams that have SFA membership.

Club Colours are something I am still working on so there will be an update at some point when I have all the colours corrected.

Although I made this database, a lot of the research was done by @David.Brown6. His work was invaluable to getting this done. If there are any problems with this file, please let me know.

I will be, the idea I have is for 16 team leagues. Still working on it, but it shouldn't take too long to make. Also looking at adding promotion and relegation to this database from the very bottom league.

your db is similar to William Nicolls although yours reflects real lif and his more a fantasy db with promotion and relegation from the bottom still its a great db and credit has to be given as the scottish pyramid is difficult to create

Not quite had time to start it yet. I have all the plans written down so just a case of getting time to get onto the editor. Shouldn't take long once I get started though.

Fantastic work mate, as a Scot i have always wanted Scottish football to have a pyramid system like other countries and the chance to play it on FM is braw!!

 

Just one question do you have a version with just the pyramid without the juniors and amateur clubs?

 

I would be braw if you did.

I have a version I'm still finishing off that is down to the Juniors. Much the same as my databases for older fm's.  Just a few changes need making to it and it will hopefully be up for download in the next week or so.

No problem mate. I believe that the north Caledonian league will be a feeder league for the highland football league from next season with the winners and the bottom

highland league playing off any way you could add this in?. would love to take orkney to the top!!

You are correct, there is discussion currently that the North juniors and the NCL will become a feeder league for the HFL. Most likely the relegation will be similar to the SPFL relegation, with a playoff between the winner of the North Juniors (North of Scotland league) and NCL. Or perhaps there might be a North of Scotland league will be a combined NCL and North Juniors.

Can i ask a question about editing. if you use the editor to look within the game you see competitions in the database that don't appear in the game I.e. the Glasgow cup or the south of Scotland league. is there a simple way to add them?

The database I'm trying to finish off, the North Juniors will move to a North of Scotland League in season 2 or 3 and have a playoff with the NCL for promotion. Because no one seems to know what is happening with the Tayside Juniors I'm also adding them to the NoS. The Lothian Juniors will move to become bottom tier of the EoS leagues. So the setup should work as…….

                                                   HFL                                                                            LL

 

                       NCL                                      NOS                                   EOS                    WOS                           SOS

 

                                                                   NOS1                                 EOS1                 WOS1          

 

                                                                   NOS2                                EOS2                  WOS2

 

                                                                                                             EOS3                  WOS3

 

Thats hat I believe will happen with what information I have read. The Tayside league is the stumbling block as they are above the boundry line they are in the Highland League catchment area but would prefer to play in the Lowland League. I can't see there being any Junior Leagues left in Scotland within 2 years. 

 

Once that Database is done, I'll release another with Playoffs removed and proper promotion and relegation from Prem to the very bottom leagues.

It is easy enough to do, but requires going into the advanced editor. There are loads of tutorials out there, but I find the best way to learn is to look at someone else's work. If I get time I'll write up a wee how to for you for both those competitions if you'd like?

I believe you are right to have the Tayside juniors into the NOS league, i think due to their promxity, they are closer to the North than to the east.

This is where the issue arises. A fair few of the teams play in Dundee itself. Just across the river Tay, teams are eligible for the EoS. Also, Luncarty were admitted to the EoS last year. The boundary line splits the village, with the Clubs ground being on the North side of the line, but the bulk of the village on the South. I personally believe is should be a hard boundary and teams on the north go north, south go south. In respect of Luncarty, it's an exceptional case.

Yeah i noticed that when inputting their stadium locations. I argee that the river tay should be the hard border on the east side of scotland. North of the Tay you are in the NOS, south of the Tay you are in the EOS. For the clubs in Dundee, I think the NOS would be a good place for them to do, since it will add divsiety and more clubs to compete in the league. Now as it stands there is a healty balance of clubs and divisons between NOS, EOS and WOS. I would also double check, every club is in the right region, since FM has some of them in the wrong cities and local legion.

I really like the look of this structure mate i think your on to a winner of a pyramid system here. the only thing i would suggest is more cup competitions for the west of Scotland teams, in your current database they only enter the SR challenge cup. Could i suggest west of Scotland cup and a sectional league cup like the had in the junior days?

 

  I agree on the future junior leagues with no juniors left in the west its surely a matter of time before the remaining teams follow

Cheers mate I've watch a few vids i think i could create a basic pre season comp, i know you have the sos league and the Glasgow cup in your database (which is a great addition by the way) id be interested to see how you make a comp like that switching from a group stage to a cup final and the old firm teams using their reserves.

I'll get something sorted for you to have a look at. It's all to do with stages and making teams qualify for them basically.  Having said that, I'm having issues with the database I'm working on. Can't get teams to stay in the correct divisions after the first season.
