Federal Baseball League converting to OOTPX with openings

The Federal Baseball League (Federal Baseball League) will be converting to OOTPX immediately after the 1958 playoffs, which are scheduled to be run "live" tomorrow night.

With the conversion, we have at least one opening (Oakland Victory), so if you have OOTPX and would like to join a long-standing league (the FBL is only about 7 months old. I ran JOBL for 6 real years before we re-started as the FBL this year. Many owners remain.)

The FBL is an 18-team fictional league set in the late 1950s, complete with era adjusted financial settings and league output. In addition to the FBL, a fictional MLB runs in the background, so FBL teams can scrape up aging MLB vets to help improve their teams. MLB also has the ability to sign FBL talent, but hasn't to date (the leagues have distinct talent levels, so upward movement to MLB is very rare.) The FBL also has an agreement with a fictional Cuban league that allows FBL teams to showcase talented Cuban ballplayers.

As mentioned above, we also run "live" playoff sims where I share my screen and we watch the play-by-play unfold. We have also done live ammy drafts, but will most likely rely on the StatsLab utilities going forward.

Overall, we're a very fun, easy going bunch that loves baseball.

League rules can be found here: League Rules Federal Baseball League

Any questions, let me know!

Otherwise, send your name, primary email address, and a little bit about yourself/OOTP experience to jason.dettbarn AT gmail.com

Hope to hear from you!
