Scotland Levels below the SPFL

[Sparker]

Very new to using the editor here, and trying my hand at enabling the 5th-7th tiers of Scotland in the existing structure has proved... frustrating. I think it's safe to say I don't really know what I'm doing. Ideally what I would like is for someone to do it correctly and then post screenshots of what it's supposed to look like, so that I could learn by comparison.

Barring that though, could someone set aside some time this coming week and walk me through this? My main problem is that I simply don't know what the entries do when I select this thing or that thing. I have a good idea for the most part of what the end result should look like, though. I am attempting to create the structure as it pertains to the recent merger, with the main difference being that there should be regular promotion and relegation between tiers 4 and 5, which there is not currently.

Thanks in advance.

You might be better having a look on YT, fr guide and videos.

there are quite a few, to walk through mkaing that many from scratch might take a fair while. there are scottishh lower league databases you can d/l and pull apart as well to see how it connects, i found that usually helps as well, whne making custom leagues etc

I'll give that a look thanks, but I haven't found any scottish databases that do this that I could emulate or else I'd just use that and not try to build it myself. The only one that I found anywhere works in a completely different fantasy setup and doesn't even work because there's an error that the editor can't fix.

What exactly do the 4-7th tier's look like in Scotland? I'm Scottish but I didn't care too much past Div3. I thought it was all pub football after that?

The reason there's an offset in levels 6-7 is because they promote directly to the league located above them in the chart, not to the others. I don't know how to split levels like that, or how to make a level only promote to a specific split section like that. It's strange but that's how it is in Scotland so that's how I'd like it to be in my FM save.

you'd have to use promotion/ relegation from the specific divisions rather than the level. I can't figure out how to explain it as I've not used the editor recently but it's definitely possible.
