Hello all!
The
Home Plate Baseball League, an OOTP 6.5 online league is looking for one person to join a very active and outgoing online league. We've been around since March 2004, and had shut down in August of 2005. In October 2005, upon much demand, the HPBL went back into business with plenty of the old members, along with new blood.
This is nowhere near the usual run-of-the-mill online league. Here are some of those reasons:
- BOSI Database
- The league plans to use CATO at the end of each season (We're having problems with the program, so this might have to be held off until OOTPB2006 comes out)
- Custom Financial system. We use a revenue sharing, payroll expenses cap (not to be confused with a salary cap), our own three-tiered cash cap that is based on revenue from the previous season and a luxury tax system - all of these do that does what we want to achieve, keep the league competitive, give the small market teams the ability to make competitive moves, and let the large market teams remain large market teams.
- Franchise Player System
- Active owner base
- Full and small league files for your Internet connection taste. The full league file is 14.12 MB and the small league file is 4.25 MB (as of Friday's sim)
- All new rules are voted by the league owners.
The opening is for the
Texas Rangers. The team won 106 games in the 2005 season, the most that season with a solid package of speed and power. Right now, the team isn't on a very strong start, currently 8-13, but it's only April, still 5 months to go in the regular season!
If you're interested in the league, you are welcome to send an e-mail at
raderick24@pointatrad.com, or you can post on the
Non-Owners forum. Either way, a copy of OOTP 6.5 or 6.12 is a requirement. We don't require owners to have an AIM username, but most of our trades are done using AIM. But if you don't use it for one reason or another, that is ok.
