OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - tMBU has Arrived! (Now Accepting Applications)

JoshSamBob · 12-29-2003, 01:54 AM

We are now accepting applications for ownership in tMBU (the MoneyBall Union), a revolutionary new OOTP5 league with a "hook" - a REAL agent for the players! No more of the AI rejecting the exact amount it asked for! No more of the AI asking for three times as much for an extension as the player would get in arbitration! No more mysterious AI bugs in free agency!

You Own the Team
The league takes place 20 years from now, after Major League Baseball has been disbanded and re-formed as tMBU. The league consists of 24 teams from across North America, formed by new owners (i.e. no more Tom Hicks) and forged in whatever image the owner desires. This is your opportunity to create a team that has your own distinct "Flavor" - pick the location, name the team, name and locate the minor league teams, create the team by selecting players in the fantasy draft.

Ideal Owners
Because tMBU is a new idea, we are looking for "Cream of the Crop" owners who will commit the time necessary to make both their team and the league itself GREAT. This is a writing-intensive league with a number of fun angles (like the "Scout-a-Prospect" concept, with thanks to the FIBB), and as such we are seeking ONLY committed owners who will write at least one or two articles per week about either their team or the league as a whole, and will check the board at least every other day. Please bear this in mind when deciding whether or not to apply for a team.

Applying
That said, please read the Constitution first; it will give you an idea of how the league will operate. After that, please click the "Application" link to submit an application for franchise ownership.

Timeline:
We would like to begin play mid- to late-January, which means the Fantasy Draft must take place starting in early- to mid-January. This of course means that we must have all teams set up by that time, so we will accept applications until January 5th, at which time we hope to have all 24 teams ready for the Draft.

Help
We are looking for a web designer and/or a graphic designer to give us a hand with the league site and the team graphics. If you fit either of those descriptions, you will be given preference for one of the teams (so long as you will also be an active and enthusiastic team owner).
