There are several features we would like to add and several changes we would like to implement which require some sort of online "backend". So we decided to introduce an online database where commishes can (optionally!) add their leagues. Users who want to join such a league need a valid user record in this database, too. These leagues will be called "Official OOTP Online Leagues" (OOOL).
This system will be free to use. NO additional costs for GMs or commishes!
But it will only be available to users who signed up in the OOTP Online database through their copy of OOTP. There will be more online features in OOTP 12 which will be available after signing up, like the add-ons dialog and the online help update.
We will not host league files or league web sites at all. We will only host a database with a list of leagues.
We want to do this as a first step towards more online interaction. This will NOT cost the user any money.
It's possible that we add NEW services later which could cost money. For example we could let a server create the reports and player pictures for a league fully automated on the server or something like that.
The online league database will let us add new features for free, like an integrated export tracker, a trade system, and more. But that's all just an idea at the moment.
