I am trying to create a league with 9 separate divisions(5-9 teams in each division).
The top 2 teams from each division at the end of 2 rounds(10-18 game season) goes to the playoff to play for the league championship.
How do I do this?

Can someone help?

Thanks
 
you need to use sub divisions and a championship playoff where it takes the top 2 from each division. i think there might be an option to have a general one instead of having seperate ones for each sub division but i've not got the editor open at the moment.
 
Ok,
So I have a Div1 with 9 sub divisions. I have selected in the playoff tab of each subdivision, championship playoff, cup two teams.
In each subdivision I have not selected any teams for promotion or relegation.
Does there have to be teams in the DIV1? or do the subdivisions provide those teams?
What settings do I need to apply or not apply for the DIV1?
Thanks

So it would be kind of like the Champions League?

I don't believe that it is possible for the highest tier of a domestic league to contain sub-divisions, due to the necessity of allocating qualifying places for the relevant continental club competition. I also think that the editor will not allow it anyway.

Your best alternative would be to have your sub-divisions forming the second tier, and have an elite group in the highest tier. However, I would definitely recommend having 8 sub-divisions instead of 9, as this makes selecting teams for the playoffs much easier (as it is divisible by 8).

My recommendation:
--------------------
Tier 1 - Elite league containing maybe 8 teams, who play each other for the championship title.
Tier 2 - Comprised of 8 sub-divisions, each containing an equal number of teams, to keep it fair.

At the end of a season, the top 4 Elite teams (i.e. the semi-finalists and finalists) would keep their places in the top tier. 4 teams would then be relegated.

The top 2 teams from each sub-division would then enter a playoff. If you have 8 sub-divisions, this gives you 16 qualifiers, which is ideal for a knockout. Two matches later, you're left with 4 qualifiers who will win promotion to the Elite league.
 
Thanks Tobias,

Yes I assume it is much like the Champions League.
It is actually the Professional Development League (PDL) in the United States Soccer League(USL)
There are 9 divisions which contain 5-9 teams in each division. The top two teams from each division enter playoffs at the end of the season. I thought it would be neat to recreate this in FM12.
maybe I will just put all the PDL teams in one league and then have a 9 team championship regardless of division at the end of the season.

How do I create "The top 2 teams from each sub-division would then enter a playoff. If you have 8 sub-divisions, this gives you 16 qualifiers, which is ideal for a knockout. Two matches later, you're left with 4 qualifiers who will win promotion to the Elite league".
in the editor?
I have tried in sub-divisions to create a playoff with top two teams from each div. However it just makes a playoff with two teams from each division.

Thanks for the assistance and advice.
 
i think there's a tick box that allows you to make it 1 playoff across all subdivisions although i may be wrong. i would look it up for you but i'mreally busy tonight.
