I just have some questions about online leagues, and I'd appreciate help on any of them ....
1. How long does a season in an online league generally take?
2. Do you actually play games batter by batter in an online league like you do in solo play, or do you simply set your roster and strategy and then the commishioner simulates the game?
3. Is there any leagues with only about 8-12 teams in them, that play shorter seasons? Or do most leagues play 162 game seasons?
Anyway, that's all I can think of for now... Take it easy.

1. The most common arrangement seems to be 3-4 sims per week of 7-10 games each, so roughly a month of sims per real time week. The offseason usually takes another 7-10 days, so it's usually about 2 months to get through a season. This can vary a lot though, as there are plenty of leagues that sim fewer games per sim, and others that sim more.
2. Leagues that do regular live sims are pretty rare. There are more leagues do their postseason live, though. I've never heard of a league where anyone but the commish or co-commish sims the games.
3. There is, literally, just about any kind of league you can imagine. Most play in the neighborhood of 162 games, but I've heard of 80 game seasons and plenty in between.
