Overview of Organizations

An Organization links two leagues so they can share a common set
of rules and options, play inter-league games during the regular
season, and meet in a championship series at the end of the
post-season. Just because you link two leagues through an
organization, you are not required to play inter-league games
during the regular season. This is optional. You can set up the
organization just to share the rules and options for post-season
play.
You can have more than one league in the same DMB database, and
there is no obligation to link them via an organization. Each of
those leagues can independently play their regular season and
post-season games, with their own rules and timetable. If you have
only one league in the database, there is no point in creating an
organization.
If you do choose to set up an organization, you will be required
to name the two leagues that comprise it. Both leagues must be in
the same database as the organization, and you can create only one
organization per database. If you wish to use the same leagues in
more than one organization, you can make a copy of the database and
set up the other organization with the copy.
While organizations and leagues have some similarities -- they
share the same rules and options -- they also have some
differences. You use a league to organize the divisions and teams
that comprise the league and to set the structure for the
post-season series that determine the league champion. You use an
organization to identify the leagues and set the structure for the
championship series between the league champions.
