welcome to the board Mike.

I havent needed any type of leveling system yet.

In the future I might put in a system like what Pete RTS sells.

Try the search feature.

Use the one in the tool bar, between "Help" and "Profile," not the box on the right with the Search button, which is not as extensive.

When the search page opens, put in "leveling system" (including the quotes) in the "Search For:" box.  You will get five full pages of results.  (I would post a direct link here, but the way this board works, there are no direct URLs for search results.)  Read through them all -- probably every possible way to level your coach has been discussed in there someplace.
