Thanks for posting this, JWay.

This is a very long-standing league with plenty of old school OOTP fans. It started as a league comprised of regulars in the OOTP Off Topic Forum, but we've recently opened it up to the greater OOTP community.

It's a close-knit group and we try not to take ourselves too seriously. Well, unless one of Bobbutton's waiver claims gets screwed up.

Please PM me if you are interested.

I am not sure anyone wants to be in this league. There really is too much competition. Someone coming in who hasn't played the game for more than 3+ years they will not be able to keep up.

So please if you are rookie or someone bad at the game, don't come here to play you are just going to get beat.

Dagrims · 08-19-2008, 02:50 PM

I haven't had a team in the league since its 2008 season, but I hear it's still okay.

now where's my check?

potatoman · 08-19-2008, 04:02 PM

I'm assuming Bloomington Beavers are open now too.

Ugh, I've had the best record in the league for like the past 15 seasons and only 3 championships to show for it...

I've pretty much sucked for all but the past 5 seasons or so, and I only have one championship to show for it!

potatoman · 08-20-2008, 02:44 PM

I'm surprised there hasn't been more interest. Hmmm. This is one of the most laid back/fun league community out there.

JWay · 09-03-2008, 07:53 PM

MorseMoose · 09-03-2008, 09:03 PM

Just a bump here for a great league. We don't take things too seriously but the competition is as good as it gets. If you're looking for a fun but challenging league, look no further!

Prodigal Son · 09-15-2008, 07:47 PM

We just started the draft, so it's a great time to join right now.

kcroyalgm · 09-19-2008, 04:58 PM

I've taken Minneapolis.
Nice league!
Still an opening, so join up.
