I'm a long-standing commish (four real life years- since ootp4) looking for a few owners for my OOTP6.5 fictional league. Everyone who's been in my leagues knows that I run a very tight ship-- I sim like clockwork, and if I'm about to miss something, you know ahead of time. The league is tough- rebuilds fail, contending teams falter, surprise teams can win. Finally, I've set up the rules for FA to be vibrant, and for the league to be damn competitive.

I feel CPL is unique for a few reasons:

1. People regularly write good articles, not just press releases. In addition, I've started providing summaries of every sim- the major moves, injuries, and happenings.

2. We are a fictional league, but I simmed over 100 years of history. That means we have meaningful historical comparisons, great arguements about the HOF, etc. despite only having been in existence for 8 seasons.

3. We sim a small number of games, but we sim every weekday. You don't have to stay on top of your team every single day of the week, but if you're a control freak, you can.

4. We have a fixed finances system. You make 70 million bucks a year, no matter what. You can only spend 70 million bucks a year, no matter what. And you can't accumulate any cash.

5. You can only resign guys who want to resign with your team. Combined with 4 above, this means that it's really hard to have a dynasty, and it's comparatively easy to rebuild, because FA is vibrant. It also means no one really tanks. This itself is highly unusual for a veteran league.

6. I don't own a team to be able to spend more time on the league. Should there be vacant teams though, I take over, so there's no 'dead' teams floating around.

I have a very quick boot for owners that I see as being lazy or bad, and as a result, the current owners are all top notch. But it also means I tend to have more openings than other leagues do. If interested, please send your email addy, AIM name, a reference (commish of a league you're already in) and team preference to sh.misra@gmail.com. We'll be starting the offseason in about a week.

League: http://www.ourfamiglia.com/cpl
Open Teams:
Philadelphia Phillies
New York Yankees

I basically take the team that none of the new owners want
