Inaugural Draft editing

Is there a way to modify the number of rounds in my Inaugural Draft to make less rounds? How about changing it after I've started the draft?

I think you are locked in on that. This is from page 285 of the game guide:

The precise number of rounds in an inaugural draft depends on the number of levels in the league. When determining the number of rounds in the inaugural draft, the game first looks at the number of affiliations within the league. For example, if you have the standard five levels of minors, then each major league team has five affiliated teams. The game takes the number of affiliations, plus one for the major league team, and multiplies this by the active roster limit. So, for the example above, you would get:

(5+1) * 25 = 6 * 25 = 150 = 150 rounds in the inaugural draft

However, when determining the number of rounds, it actually takes the maximum number of affiliations in the league. So, let’s say your setup has one team, like the Yankees, who have six minor league teams, instead of the normal five. In that case, the equation would be this:

(6+1) * 25 = 7 * 25 = 175 = 175 rounds in the inaugural draft

In this case, only the Yankees would select during those last 25 rounds, since all the other teams would have filled their rosters by the time round 151 was reached.

It doesn't look like you have much of a choice.
