Decided to start fiddling with the editor more and plan to slowly work up to editing a US database in the advanced rules, but wanted something to play until I had time to figure it out.
This is the 2022 USA league structure edited with ONLY the Basic Rules editor. There's only so much that can be changed (MLS and US Open Cup are hard coded in basic rules).
Will do my best to mimic real life given the constrictions from the basic editor (i.e. USLC games uneven by conference, limitations on fixture dates and playoff sizes).
Once leagues are set I plan to edit teams for sponsorships and affiliations, and see if I can at least get teams in the right place for the 2023 season as well.
If you notice spelling or naming errors, let me know. Every time I save changes it undoes some previous changes so names of competitions seem to revert at random.
Also, if you need logos/faces/kits, download a pack. Sorry, I'm barely competent at editing. There are people far better at graphics who I won't be stealing from. **EDIT** I don't plan on trying to do an NCAA league to replace USL League Two for drafting purposes (I'm not a masochist).

MLS (unchanged)
USL Championship

USL League Two
US Open Cup (unchanged)
