Woah fantastic work, you have saved me a lot of time researching USA Soccer, i will integrate these edits in my WIP Competitions and other Fixes.lnc file. Thanx!

Just one hint, as @mons suggested me, when u have long text just use SPOILER button 🙂

Apologies for that, I fixed it.

UNITED STATES - COMPETITIONS

ISSUE 1 - USL Championship: The United Soccer League Championship has had the regular season removed from the default DB. The file assumes 20040498 is the USL Championship, however this competition is no longer in the DB so it should be 43.

PROPOSED EDITS:

-Change:

"COMP_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 43 "United Soccer League Championship" ""
"COMP_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 43 "USLC" ""

Delete Long and Short name entries for 20040498

ISSUE 2 - USL League Two: Some Divisions have been added in real life and in the default DB. Also, the file changes the South Central Division to the Deep South Division (20047465), and the Mountain Division to the Central Pacific (20031727). These are incorrect, as can be seen in the sourced link if you scroll down.

SOURCES:

https://www.uslleaguetwo.com/league-teams

PROPOSED EDITS:

-Change:

"COMP_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 20031727 "USL League Two Mountain Division" ""
"COMP_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 20031727 "USL2 Mountain Division" ""

"COMP_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 20047465 "USL League Two South Central Division"
"COMP_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 20047465 "USL2 South Central Division"

-Add:

"COMP_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 2000174370 "USL League Two Valley Division"
"COMP_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 2000174370 "USL2 Valley Division"

"COMP_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 2000174372 "USL League Two Deep North Division"
"COMP_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 2000174372 "USL2 Deep North Division"

"COMP_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 2000174374 "USL League Two Lone Star Division"

"COMP_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 2000174375 "USL League Two Chesapeake Division"
"COMP_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 2000174375 "USL2 Chesapeake Division"

ISSUE 3: NPSL: The NPSL is now in the default DB correctly. This whole section can be removed, as it even incorrectly changes the name of the East Region (20031797) to Northeast Region.

SOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Premier_Soccer_League

PROPOSED EDIT: Delete #NPSL section.

ISSUE 3: Lower Leagues: The Southern Premier Soccer League (20017135) and the American Soccer League (20032845) are both in the default DB correctly.

PROPOSED EDIT: delete Long and Short name entries for 20032845 and 20017135.

ISSUE 4: USSDA: These youth competitions have been rebranded and are now in the default database correctly.

PROPOSED EDIT: delete #USSDA section.

ISSUE 5: Other Youth Competitions: 2000220589 (Next Generation Cup) should be the Generation Adidas Cup. 2000220458 (United States Soccer League Academy) should be the United Soccer League Academy (USL Academy). 2000219376 (Boys Academy League) should be the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL).

USA - Stadiums

ISSUE 1: 1389 changes the name of Nissan Stadium to Geodis Park. These are two different stadiums. This was probably put in last year when Nashville SC played at Nissan and then moved to Geodis, however Geodis Park is now in the default DB as 2000002024.

SOURCES:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodis_Park

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Stadium

PROPOSED EDIT: delete entry.

ISSUE 2: 976182 is in as having it's named changed to Providence Park. However, this is already true in the default DB

PROPOSED EDIT: delete entry.

ISSUE 3: 72013735 is changed to Avaya Stadium. It should be PayPal Park, which is correct in the default DB

SOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PayPal_Park

PROPOSED EDIT: "STADIUM_NAME_CHANGE" 72013735 "PayPal Park" ""

USA - Cities

ISSUE 1: 20018260 is changed to Niagara Falls (NY). This is now correct in the default DB.
