OOTP Playoff Editor

One of the strengths of the OOTP range of baseball games has been its customisability.  However, one area where it has always been weak is in its handling of playoffs.

In the early days the playoffs could only consist of a power of 2 number of teams (2, 4, 8, 16, etc) and these would be drawn from all the divisonal champions plus enough wild-card teams.

A couple of versions ago, the playoffs became slightly customisable in that you could choose which teams qualified - previously if you wanted the top 2 teams to qualify from 4 divisions you couldn't guarantee it as you would have had to use wild-cards and there's no way to guarantee that you would get one from each division.  You could also set the first round matchups but once they were played the rest of the playoffs were set.  Also the limit of a power of 2 teams still was there.

Because of that I decided to use my knowledge of the database structure to write a utility that would add that further level of customisation to the playoffs.

This is the culmination of this work and I will hopefully update it for OOTP 12 (unless Markus throws us a bone and does it himself)
