Adding and deleting leagues idea

I haven't tried this, but for some reason the idea came to me at work today...

With OOTP6, if you started with one league league (what is now called a subleague), you could never add another within the game. However, there was a workaround. By creating a new league and copying over some files (I wrote up the details of this once somewhere in the OOTP6 Discussions), you could effectively copy your old league information into a new league.

I am wondering if, with OOTP2006, it would be possible to do this with worlds.

An example:

Let's say I have a world setup with one league in it, MLB, NL and AL. I get to 1914 and I want to add the Federal as a separate, standalone league. Theoretically, I could go through the process of creating a new world with the exact same setup except that I would add the FL at the very end. I could then copy over the files like players.dat, teams.dat, etc - except for world.dat (or I could just copy the new world.dat into the old version of the league's folder).

If it works like OOTP6 did, perhaps it would be a workaround - a tedious one, but a possible one - that would at least allow for the addition of new leagues. It may even be possible to affiliate and de-affiliate leagues this way, though that might be a lot more complicated.

Has anyone tried anything like this? If not, when I get a chance, I will.
