So i'm thinking this is at least for Rookie/Sophomore type scheduling where the effects are magnified more but...
I think we should have all Rookie leagues simming on the same day, then we can have the GLB tournament games run on the off-days. As it's run now, in rookie for example, a team can have a regular season game just before a tournament game while their opponents for that tournament game might have their regular season run a day later. That presents the potential problem of one entire team leveling up while the other team is stuck a level below through no fault of anyone except scheduling. I know alot comes down to AI, but towards the end when teams are evenly matched, it could be a big advantage. Being rookie and sophomore, that one level could make a big difference, whether it from level 5 to 6 or more so equipment levels like 15/16 or 23/24. That makes it a little unfair imo.
Here's the predicament that made me think about this, notice i'm posting now before the game so it technically isn't a RAGEloss thread...

Now Team A's league is run one day earlier than Team B's. Team A had a game today, Team B's game is tomorrow. Team A levels up after their game today, Team B level up tomorrow, therefore Team A is one level higher than Team B for the Tournament game tonight.
So yeah, for Rookie and Sophomore leagues (at least) i think the regular season games should be played on the same day so that problem wouldn't arise. I don't really see why every tier can't have an exclusive day that it runs, it's not like it will be more games, just rearranged. So we could even have...
Even Days: Rookie/Prep/Local Minors/National Minors/Regional Pro
Odd Days: Sophomore/University/Regional Minors/National Semi Pro and Pro&WL.
That's a pretty even split team-wise, then whatever day your tier's regular season games are on, the GLB tournament games would be on the other day.
