This will be much easier by the time a finished product is presented, but for the time being you do it as follows:
1) Delete the 'test' names in the 'Pool' tab in Column A. In the same column, starting from A1 down enter the names of the fighters that will compete in your universe.
2) Go to the 'Main' tab and click the add Fighter button. Do this at least four times, as this universe requires at least four active fighters at any one time to operate for the moment.
3) You will notice that the main screen will now have your four fighters, plus all the test fighters that were initially there. Select the rows (the entire row, not just the cell) that contain the test fighters and right-click delete. Please do not hit the delete button on the keyboard as this will only clear the contents of the cells. What you are aiming for is to have the rows vanish and have just your fighters remaining. You need to carefully repeat this process on the 'Active' and 'Ranking' tabs.
That should do it.

Great suggestion. The workbook is not actualy set up to do that, YET. However, their is a very easy way to make the sheet do this if you want to right now. In the 'Active' tab you will notice their is a large number of data for each fighter. Right at the end of that data is a list of results for each fighter (They appear as WK, LK, WDQ etc etc - you should probably look at the test fighters before you delete them). You can simulate these results, and hence advance the fighters age by manually entering in some of these results - just make sure you don't leave any gaps from left to right. And make sure they are entered in the proper format. The choices are WK, WD, WDQ, DD, NC, LD, LK, LDQ.

If you click on the corresponding cell in Column D you will be presented with a little arrow next to the cell. Click that, and it will give you a choice of results to choose from. Make sure you pick the result that reflects what happened to Fighter A. Ie. If Fighter B defeated Fighter A by knockout, the result is "LK" (Fighter A lost by Knockout to Fighter B). when all the results have been entered, click the "Process" button in the header banner. Presto - done.

Just remember, this is a test - don't get to upset if things go wrong in the middle of your timeline....
