Info for online league commishes: This update changes the file format because of added data. Previous builds will not load league files saved with 17.7.51! So, make sure every user in your online league has updated until you update the league to the new version. However, team exports done with 17.7.51 will work in previous versions, so online league users may update without issues even if the commish has not updated yet.
Cheers!
