TEAM LISTS (info click here) -

The quantities of Leagues/ Divisions/ Teams are essential data for League Planner, and cannot be changed once the league and season calulations have begun, but not the quantity of members in a team and their names.

League Planner can complete much of its work without details of the quantity of members in a team and their names. That information is only used for the Captains Sheets, handbook and web output in the very final stages of the Season fixtures calculation.

This means that changes to team memberships can be made right through until para 6 below.
