So a 25 round draft should be cool? Give me a few extra guys every year
if youre using a full complement of minors, MLB style (AAA - rookie leagues) then 25 rounds should be sufficient as the recommendation is 5 rounds per level of minors you have in yr universe.

feeder teams are an alternative or additional way to generate players for your draft. there are both college and high school feeder teams. in your league rules, if you add feeder leagues, you will see an option for the draft that will allow you to choose "feeder league only" or "feeder league and additional players." that means that you can have your draft filled entirely by feeder league players if you choose the first option. so you could have an NCAA style setup for example. however, you have to be somewhat careful to setup the appropriate number of teams in the feeder league to ensure you have enough players to fill your draft every year. if its a large league, youll end up needing quite a few feeder league teams. if you choose the 2nd option, you can have a smaller feeder league system and the game will just generate additional players as needed to fill however many rounds you have selected.

the relationship between feeder leagues is fairly simplistic right now, that is b/w high school and college. high school players dont "graduate" into the college leagues. they simply become available for the draft when they finish HS.
