This box came up-there are 8 players on roster with 25 authorized. How do I get this warning box to clear? Playing 1872 season

I assume this is with vX and needs to be moved to Tech Support or the vX General Discussion area. But, that being said, I think you have a limited number of choices: go to the team and fill up the roster to the appropriate level, wait for an historical player to advise you on how they've handled it when it's occurred, or take the path of least resistance and select the Ask AI option and have it organize the league. The latter will make everything all right. It may not stay that way, as I don't have all the particulars about why it's happened in your case, but it's always an option for the quick fix.

If you're playing a historical league that is taking place in 1872, you will not have enough real players to fill out an active roster of 25 players. Note that the actual active roster limit in 1872 was about 12-13 players. (There was no official limit, but financially clubs could only afford to carry a small number of players, and that amounted to nine regulars plus three or four reserves. Clubs usually only played three games per week back then, making it possible to have just a two-man pitching staff.)

In game setup / league setup / rules / change the number of players fron 25 to 15. Changing to 18 in 1877, 20 in 1884, 25 in 1896 works well for me but you can have fewer if you wish.

If you use minors then fill the minor leagues with fictional players also in setup. Or turn on ghost players.
