Hey Chris, some notes on other things I noticed that may be worth considering rolling into your main version.

 

  1. One of the things that bugged me was that the history tracking didn't seem to make a lot of sense on who was tracked as past winner, who was given trophies each season, etc. I made changes to the Eastern and Western conference to make the Overall Table be what determines the Champion of the conference, and tracked in the history as Winner, Runner-Up, and Third Place. I did this by:
    1. Adding a Stage Flag to the Overall Table stage General settings of “Set Final Positions From This Stage”
    2. Adding Store League History on the Overall Table stage of each conference.
    3. Adding Other Stage Rules => Stage Actions to Add History Record from Stage Index 2 / Overall Table from the relevant competition.
  2. I also didn't like that the winner of the Champions Playoff wasn't tracked. To adjust this, I made the parent competition Major League Championship visible and made some changes on the competition. It now tracks on the parent competition the winner of the Major League Championship, with the Runner-up and Third Place. This also ensures that a trophy is given for the winner of the Overall Table for each MLC East / West season as well as a trophy for the Major League Championship Champions Playoff winner.
    1. On the Champions Playoff Stage General settings, set the Stage Flag of “Set Final Positions From This Stage”
    2. Added a Third Place Playoff
      1. Also added a Winners and Losers Playoff to the Continental Places Playoff. This only really matters for tying into #3 below.
    3. For Fate Actions of the Stage, I added Set Team Placing In Competition for winner of the Final, then Loser of the Final, and winner of the Third Place Playoff. Also Set a League Fate for the Winning Team of the Final
  3. I also made tweaks to the continental qualification to allow for it to be compatible with Dallan's Worldwide Champions League, seeding teams from the playoff results from positions 1 - 8 for continental qualification.
  4. Noticed a discrepancy in how seeding was done between the Eastern Conference and Western Conference Qualifying Round. I liked the way the Western Conference worked more so I made the Eastern Conference the same as Western.
    1. Also made an update that I think carries the seeding through to the Major League Championship Champions Playoff to try and give preferential home advantage to the higher seeded teams. It's not perfect because there can be multiple 0 seeded teams, but I don't see a better way to do it.
    2. Made a preferential update to the Qualifying Round rule about a 2 goal win sending that team through automatically after the first leg, removing Golden Goal, and adding away goal after 90 minutes.
    3. I also noticed that the ABBA penalty format was used in the Qualifying Round but not in the Champions Playoff. I made it be ABBA penalty format throughout.
  5. Noticed an issue with the Match Rules Index not being synced up properly on the downstream competitions in Advanced Rules.

I can share my editor data file if you'd like to see any of those updates to look at tying anything into the main.

I’m not the creator of the database but I still think it would be cool if you could share this. If not i’ll try and make the same edits on my own because tbh I couldn’t get into using this database because of the same stuff you mentioned.
