What are we? We are the FIBB. Fictional teams with real MLB players that started with the 2003 Rocco's rosters. We did a 'fantasy draft' into 24 teams placed around the World before we began the 2003 season. We have since had two expansions. One up to 28 teams and then another to 30 teams where we will remain forever. We are now late in 2012 about to start the playoffs to conclude our 10th season. So, yes, there are MLB'ers around, but as you know the longer you go forward the more fictional things become. We have a program where each owner creates a "Local Hero" every season as an amateur to continue to infuse the FIBB player base with a more international flare. It has been very successful.

What team is open? Sydney Roos. They have had six 90+ win seasons in a row and our led by the incomparable Albert Pujols (now 32). Their bullpen has been a disaster this season and they will not make the post-season and need to win their final 3 games to hit 90 once again.

Why would you join? I am not gonna go salesman on you and claim we are the most active league or we have the best owners or we are the longest running or that we have never had a delayed sim, etc. I will say that we have a very tight-knit community and extremely active messageboard that averages well over 150 posts per day. The FIBB is really an online community as well as a very competitive OOTP6 baseball league. Oh, we've never missed a sim either.

What else? We have tons of neat features like an enhanced gamepage that reads off the BOSI data and gives us super nice financial reports, player development reports, sortable statistical reports, positional rankings, etc. B/c we are such a high activity league we have very deep roster management features in our league and take advantage of all the OOTP6 goodness like waivers, the DFA, 40-man roster, Rule 5 plus we have added our own RFA system. Very deep, very active league.

Who are we looking for? Newbie, veteran, yellow-skinned Martian we do not care. All we are looking for are guys with a passion for online baseball and OOTP who want to get very involved in a great league / community. We do have some writing requirements and exporting requirements. We are not a casual league and that is certainly not for everyone, but if you are looking for this kind of thing we do it very well.

How do you join? Head over to the forums and register. Then please post a new thread in the New Applicants section answering this little Q&A.

Thanks for checking us out, don't be shy!
