After working on the 20-minute set and not being satisfied, I have finally finished updating the Franchise Sliders to version 5, with 15 minute periods. With this set, you will get more of that 20-minute feel, while getting more consistent statistical outputs. This is the set I will be using and updating going forward, and I am really enjoying it.
