I've spent some time looking at Baseball Commissioner HQ, and it appears ActionSims already handles most of the same league management and statistical reporting functions.
That said, I can certainly understand why someone might want to export their ActionSims rosters, box scores, and season statistics into Commissioner HQ, especially if they're using it to manage results from multiple baseball games.
I think supporting exports makes more sense than trying to duplicate what Commissioner HQ already does.
The next step would be to get their import specifications so we can determine exactly what we'd need to generate. If anyone has access to their CSV templates or import documentation, please feel free to share them.
I'm open to adding this functionality, provided it's reasonably straightforward to implement.

Yeah, that's correct. ActionSims isn't multiplayer right now.
So if I'm understanding you, you have different owners managing their own teams, making lineup changes, setting rotations, adding and dropping players, etc. Are you playing the games yourself or simulating them?
I'm curious how you're doing all this now. Tell me a little more about how your league works and maybe we can figure something out.

Hi Harlin, so the way my league works, ive been doing this a long time since 1985, way back with micro league baseball, strat , tony larussa and so on, 2 years ago i used pennantchase.com, it worked pretty good stats werent accurate, ive used ootp which is real nice but again not online, so owners would need to send me a email with lineups rotations, adds/drops and so on, then i have to do it. I did it because i love having a league but it is exhausting, if there could be a online one, like pennantchase.com, that i am the commissioner, i have control of everything, the owners log in, can see the whole league but can only manage there team, with lineups rotations, adds,drops, strategy, and maybe i can do 1 game live at night that owners can sign in and watch the game. that would be the ultimate! ty perry

I believe we've discussed this request before, can't remember who with though.
The main thing we'd need is the actual import specifications for Baseball Commissioner HQ. We'd need to know exactly what file formats it accepts, how the data must be structured, what fields are required, and any other rules governing imports.
Without those technical specifications, there's really no way for us to determine what's involved in making ActionSims compatible.
If you can obtain that documentation, I'd be happy to review it and see whether this is something we can reasonably support in the future. I can't make any promises, but I'm certainly willing to consider it.
