Added ability to have 150 teams in free agency (special request)

LBF Version 0.71
Fixed bug which caused an error when using latest player_user.txt file with the "college" field
LBF Version 0.7
Added the ability to import draft classes. There is now a folder in the LBF directory called LBFDraftFiles. Edit the draftclass file to change the draft class. It uses the same format as the player_user.txt file.
LBF Version 0.61
Updated to new StatLog version that includes 2pt conversions and safeties. *Note: Stat Logs from games before the Alternative Jerseys update won't have 2pt conversions and safeties
Added a few more draft round options
LBF Version 0.6
Added Stat Compiler which will combine stat logs in the custom folder. You can organize log files with folders as well - just be sure the name of each folder has the word "LBF" in it. Instructions: https://youtu.be/Kq6lXPf0vag
*Known issue - since stat logs don't keep track of 2 pt conversions and safeties some team scores might be slightly off.
Added the ability to limit the number of teams used in Free Agency. If using fewer than 32 teams, be sure that the teams you are using are at first (lowest TID) in the teams_user file.
Some minor tweaks and bug fixes to Free Agency - slight increase in the chance players will ask for new contract.
Minor tweaks to progression (decreased the randomness slightly, thus increasing the role of Intelligence and Work Ethic).
Minor tweaks to draft (small alterations to the number of players generated at each position).
LBF Version 0.5
Added ability to Redraft entire league. This will dump all players current on rosters into the draft pool. This WILL NOT create new rookies and will override other draft settings such as rounds.
Added new progression system for players under 21 and under 18. This will allow for simulation of high school and college.
* For College and High School Leagues it is recommended redrafting league with retirement age set to 22 or 18 and ALTERED ROOKIES + AGE DRAFT POOL CHECKED!!

Hi! Your discord invite has expired.
Honestly TenToes I have no idea if this would work in Linux. My guess is it won't. If you want to try, I'd install in in the same directory as the roster "inbox" and "outbox" for the Legend Bowl install.
How to install on Linux?
