The Southern League (
http://www.twyst.org/~mudbug/SL/), which has been
running since 1993, is in need of owners to take over a number of teams
that have become vacant. The SL is a replay league that uses current MLB
players, but the teams themselves are fictional. Until this season, the
SL's first using OOTP, the league was divided into strict AL and NL
leagues, and AL teams could only draft AL players and likewise for the
NL, and there was no interleague play or interleague trades. Thus,
owners could have one team in each league. Since the move to OOTP as the
sim engine, those restrictions have been removed and owners can now only
own a single team. So, a number of owners have had to give up teams.
Those teams have been run by the AI to start the season, but the
preference is for human owners.
Because the league is new to using OOTP, owning OOTP is NOT required. In
fact, because of the circumstances of the commissioner's net access, the
league file is not available for download, and all league business is
conducted via e-mail.
Some details of the league:
-- 2 leagues, 2 divisions of 5 teams in each league
-- Financials, coaches/scouts and minors turned off
-- 3 games per sim, one sim every weekday -- the league is currently using
2002 major league players, and is running 3 games per sim to finish out
this season so that the next season, with 2003 stats, can be started
before the 2004 MLB season starts. Next season will have one game per
sim, one sim per weekday.
-- Next season, minors will be turned to provide for a 40-man roster.
8 teams are available, some good and some not as good:
Phoenix Scorchers
Sacramento Titans
Bakersfield Bombers
Las Vegas Aces
Tulsa Twisters
Birmingham Stags
Jacksonville Panthers
Marietta Rebels
