Import Historical Wrestling Cards

Recreate real wrestling cards from history and book them into your promotion. A new Import Card button on the Wrestling schedule pulls a card two ways: pick from a curated catalog — starting with a set of 1990 WWF cards (Madison Square Garden, Superstars tapings, and more) — or paste any match list, one bout per line, from any source. Every wrestler, manager, and tag team is auto-matched to your roster, with a name-alias system so ring-name and spelling variants line up ("The Ultimate Warrior" finds "Ultimate Warrior", "Big Boss Man" finds "Big Bossman"). For each person you can link an existing talent, auto-create a new one, or leave the slot blank; managers ride along on a side ("w/ Mr. Fuji") without being counted as competitors, and tag teams are created or reused by their members. Matches import as TBD so you replay history yourself — the real result is kept only as an inert reference: a booked match shows a muted "History: winner def. loser" line to beat, and once you enter your own result it flips to "as it happened" or, if you changed the outcome, "History rewritten." The catalog is game-system agnostic, so any wrestling league — The Squared Circle, Filsinger Games, or your own homebrew — can pull era cards, and venues are matched to your league or created on the fly.

Filsinger Games — Champions of the Galaxy, Legends of Wrestling & Indie Wrestling

Three new wrestling game systems are now available when creating a Wrestling league: Champions of the Galaxy (GWF's sci-fi space wrestling universe, 16 sets from the 2087 Original Starter through Promoter Prime 2023), Legends of Wrestling (classic legends from the intro box set through all 15 numbered B&W editions, the full Color Era, Tragos/Thesz Hall of Fame sets, and Promoter Prime annuals), and Indie Wrestling (90 sets spanning Ring of Honor, Evolve, SHIMMER, CZW, Chikara, and annual Best of the Indies releases through 2024). All three share the same Power Points / Quick-Play / Tag Team mechanics as The Squared Circle. The league creation form now shows a grouped-by-era set picker — select the sets you own when starting a league. Roster imports come later once you're set up.

PWHL — All Three Seasons Now Available

The Professional Women's Hockey League is now a fully supported sport with all three seasons available for historical import. The 2023-24 inaugural season (72 games, 156 players across 6 teams) and 2024-25 season (90 games, 164 players) include complete game results and full player rosters with positions and birthplaces. The 2025-26 season covers the first 8-team PWHL year — adding the Vancouver Goldeneyes and Seattle Torrent expansion franchises — with all 120 regular-season games and team logos. The PWHL league preset, playoff bracket (Semifinals + Walter Cup Final, best-of-5), and all eight franchises are ready to use.

Random Season Builder + NASCAR 75 Track & Race Catalog

The NASCAR 75 Greatest quick start now ships a curated catalog of 32 era-spanning tracks and 36 named races — from the Daytona 500 to dirt-track classics like the Hillsboro 150 — each with track type, location, and a short description. In the schedule builder, picking a track offers its named races to auto-fill the race details, with custom names always available. A new Random Season Builder generates a full schedule from the catalog: choose totally random or a per-track-type mix (dirt, short track, intermediate, superspeedway, road course), optionally anchor a season opener and finale (Daytona 500 to open, Southern 500 to close?), then review every row in the bulk spreadsheet before saving. A dice button on each row re-rolls just that race — keeping the same track type — if you like the season but hate one stop. Eight historic venues were added to the track library, including Occoneechee, Langhorne, and the original Daytona Beach & Road Course.

Venue / Track Library for Race Scheduling

A new Venue model stores reusable track data for Auto Racing leagues (and eventually other sports). 40 NASCAR tracks, 22 F1 circuits, and 9 IndyCar-specific venues are pre-seeded with attributes like track type, length in miles, surface, and banking angle. When building a race schedule — either one at a time or in bulk — commissioners can pick a track from the library to auto-fill the track name, city, state, and country, while still editing any field manually. Historical imports for NASCAR, F1, and IndyCar now automatically link each imported race event to the matching seeded venue, so the schedule shows real venue data (name, city, state) rather than blank track fields.

NASCAR 75 Greatest Drivers Quick Start + Player Bio Field

A new "NASCAR 75 Greatest" legend pool is available when creating an Auto Racing league. It pre-loads all 75 drivers from NASCAR's 75th anniversary tribute list — each with a biographical card — as a ready-to-use driver field. No race schedule is generated; commissioners can add races or use it as a static pool for any game system. A new Biography text field has been added to all players across every sport.

F1, IndyCar & MLS Historical Datasets + Playoffs

Three new sports datasets are now available: Formula 1 (2023–2025, 22–24 races per season), IndyCar Series (2023–2025, 16–17 races), and MLS (2023–2025, 510–530 games with Eastern/Western conference structure). MLS leagues support a full playoffs-only mode with the era-correct 5-round single-elimination bracket (Wild Card through MLS Cup). NASCAR now has a Chase / Playoffs Only option that imports just the final 10 championship races instead of the full season.

NBA Player Rosters — All 62 Seasons

Basketball historical imports now include full player rosters for 55 of the 62 available seasons (1971–2025). Every player comes with position, jersey number, height, weight, birthdate, birthplace, and a player headshot. The six earliest seasons (1964–70) predate available athlete records.

Player Status Redesign

Player availability is now tracked on two independent axes: roster status (Active, Injured Reserve, Minor Leagues, Released) and health (Healthy, Day-to-Day, Injured, Fatigued). A Minor Leagues section appears on baseball rosters. Injured players retain their slot assignment when placed on IR.

Pitcher Probable System

Baseball leagues can now set probable starters for upcoming games and build rotation chains that advance automatically. Pitchers accumulate fatigue based on games pitched, and the schedule surfaces availability warnings on game day.

Newsprint Design System

Total front-end redesign. The dashboard, standings, and schedule pages have been rebuilt with the Cardboard Commish newsprint system — high-contrast typography, editorial column layouts, and a three-column league overview. Deep linking to any box score is now supported via the ?game= query param.

Sport-Aware Scheduling & Playoffs

The schedule builder now adapts to the sport — series mode for baseball, single-game weeks for football, race events for NASCAR. Playoff brackets can be created independently of the regular season, and standings columns shift automatically per sport (PCT/GB for baseball, PTS/T for hockey).
