Team-Player Table
The Team-Player table is what links a Player ID to a Team ID. It is basically a Team ID, followed by a list of 40 Player IDs that correspond to the players in that team, then the respective shirt numbers for those players.

Competition Entry
This section does not use separators nor do individual sections have a fixed length.
It is almost a continued list of Team IDs (length: 4 bytes) that will determine what team plays in what league. For example, the first 20 team IDs are teams that will play in the English League. Right after that you get 20 team IDs that will play in the English 2nd Division. Therefore this section will be slightly different from the other ones. 0xFFFF0300 is used to mark 'no team' in the list.

Team Game Plan
In addition to storing saved tactics in the Edit File, this exact same structure is present in PES memory for both teams during a match and pre-match (after team select) and contains the currently set tactics for each team.
Some values or settings may be marked "invalid in Edit Mode" or "pre-match only" to indicate that PES cannot be used to set them in the Edit File.

Limitations enforced by PES
Even though editing the save files externally technically allows using the full range of all values, PES puts some additional limitations in place. Some of these might be checked and corrected by the game, others are just taken as they are. This might lead to unexpected behaviour or even crash the game. Be sure to check Appendix:Rules or the rules of the invitational in question to find out what is considered legal.
