If the zip file is having an error, you will need to follow a different method of attempting to get the league info on your computer.
1. REMOVE all Bench related .lg files out of the saved_games folder!
2. DOWNLOAD this link http://www.benchsimleague.com/LeagueFiles/The Bench Sim League.tar.gz
3. Click that tar.gz file and extract it to the saved_games folder (if it doesn't let you extract, you will have to download the program called 7zip for free to be able to unzip that type of file.
4. Once it is extracted into the saved_games folder (takes awhile) The folder will be named The Bench Sim League . If the folder DOES NOT have the extension .lg at the end, please right click, rename and add .lg to the end. The folder should read The Bench Sim League.lg
After that is in place, open your ootp game, and see if the league will load. If it does, update files, export. If it does not, report back here with errors or issues.
For the 7zip file download - there are two choices - .msi and .exe which one is necessary/better to use?
