League type - Historical hybrid
Special league rules - TAP started with the 1891 season with sixteen teams split into two leagues (Patriot and Federal) each with two divisions of four teams. The players are historical - and include ALL Negro League players as they debut (not just the stars). This enlarged player pool makes expansion a possibility after the 1900 season. For 1896, TAP is converting to OOTP 2007 after playing the first five seasons in OOTP 6.5. TAP is a "talent-only" league, current ratings are hidden and talents are shown on the 1-5 scale. TAP sims three times per week, with 15 gamedays played per sim, so the league is fast moving and has a solid core of GMs who have been with the league from day one.
Number of teams - 16, with possible future expansion within ten seasons
OOTP version - OOTP 2007
