The United States Players Alliance is a players league. Basically, we have 8 GMs and all other league members simply manage their players. You can create up to 3 players...I randomly generate these players, and change basic information such as name, height, weight, etc. All new players go into the USPA Draft League until the next draft is held, which is usually in the off-season.
Player leagues are very interactive. You, as a handler, have many ways to upgrade the players you manage through attending live sims, recruiting, creating a player website, writing articles/sim reports, participating in weekly trivia, playing in our forum arcade, etc. Our league is very interactive and you'll get to know everyone very quickly.
Currently, the only GM opening that we have is Austin, the defending USPA champions. However, we are always accepting new players and applications for future GM openings. There is a strong possibility that more openings could arise in the coming days and weeks.
Player leagues do require more time than traditional leagues. As a GM, you will have constant interaction with the players on your team. You are responsible for dealing with player problems, negotiating contracts, etc.
To be considered for a GM opening, you must own a working copy of OOTP 9. Newbie GMs are welcome, although preference is given to those with knowledge of player leagues. To apply for the Austin position, you must register on the league forum, create your players, and post an application.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via PM on these boards, e-mail me at the addresses listed above, or catch me on AIM at whippasnappa89.
