One of the OOTP community's longer running leagues, The RLPA, has a few openings in each of it's two leagues. RLPA is in it's 8th year simming after starting with a group of associates brought together at Baseball Think Factory. Our website and forum is located at

RLPA Reboot, an historical league, was based on the model of our highly successful RLPA Classic league. The Reboot started with the 1985 season and contains 26 real-life teams. We do not use managers, personnel or scouting. We manually create each new draftee to make sure that the ratings are all realistic when each player enters the league. Additionally, each draft pool considers MLEs to make draftees as realistic as possible. We have not altered the game-generated personality or injury ratings. Also, the league will have the normal average rating of 100 for talent changes, which has introduced that great element of chance so that some great players have failed miserably while others have become stars.
Our finances are not historically accurate. Our tradition (through 40 simmed years of RLPA) has been to have a soft-cap set at $80 million dollars and this will be what we use for the 1985 league also. All our markets are of equal size, so there is not an inherent advantage to being in New York as opposed to Cincinnati.

We think that you will really enjoy our community.
