Ok... Here it is. First OOTP5 League

[SimSportsWorld]

Hello All,

I am very pleased to announce the first OOTP5 league starting: The Fight For October

TFFO is a historical league, starting in 1941, arguably the best baseball season ever. What makes this league so special you ask? Well, in TFFO, we sim 1 day of the season, once a day. Yes, that's right, a real-paced 1941 league. Get your mindset back in the 40's, managing some of the best ballplayers to play the game, such as Teddy Ballgame, and Joltin' Joe.

TFFO is designed only for the true lovers of the game, who have the time and patience, plus the love for the game, to handle this league. Extreme activity will be required, as we want owners to post articles as much as possible, and get to know each other well.

Unfortunately for some, this league is not a straight historical league. Expansions will occur when the Commissioner deems them necessary, and financials, trading, and Free Agents have all been set to on. Reduced ratings will be used, with no coaches/scouts, and there will be no DH.

The website can be found <a href="http://simsportsworld.com/october">HERE</a>

Thankfully, the amazing Church joined me in this project, and was able to design an AMAZING graphical site. I am proud to say that I did everything that does not have an image on it He did all those fancy graphics that you see, and boy does it look beautiful!

Ok, now to the most important part: Joining

Since I will be putting an extremely large amount of time into this league, I want the most active owners possible, who suit the league well. Therefore, applications will be open from today, February 10th, all the way until February 17th. I will not look at any of the applications until February 17th, and I will then pick the other 14 Owners (Church and I already have a team) from what I recieve. Here is how you join:

Send me an email at commish@simsportsworld.com with the subject line reading "Joining The Fight For October". I will trash any emails I see that say "joining" or "hey", or anything else. I recieve lots of emails a day, and if I am unable to sort them out between my folders without opening the subject, I will delete them.

The email should include the following information:

First/Last Name:
Age:
Email:
OOTP Community Name:
Home State:
How many OOTP Leagues are you in?
Link them for me, and tell me your teams:
Would you be interested in being Assistant Commish? Previous commissioner experience is wanted, and you need to know how to use FTP, and a website design program:
What are the 5 teams you wouldn't mind taking (see list below):
In approx. 50 words, tell me why you want to join, and what seperates you from just a "normal" owner:

Teams Available (Red Sox and Yankees are taken):

Detroit Tigers
Cleveland Indians
Chicago White Sox
St. Louis Browns
Washington Nationals
Philadelphia Athletics
Cincinnati Reds
Brooklyn Dodgers
St. Louis Cardinals
Pittsburgh Pirates
Chicago Cubs
New York Giants
Boston Bees
Philadelphia Phillies

Finally;

I do not care if you are in 50 leagues, are in 0 leagues, if you have been in the OOTP community for over a year, or just 2 days, have 1000+ Posts, have 3 posts, are 14 years old, or 70 years old. Everyone who applies for this league will have a shot to get in. There is no favortism in this league. If you can prove to me you are a great owner, you will get in.


Thank you for your time, and hopefully I will be recieving your application shortly

Steve White
TFFO Creator, Commissioner, and GM of the Boston Red Sox

(P.S.- This league will officially open its doors within 2 weeks after the release of OOTP5. All owners will be required to own the game before we start. Also, the rules page is the only page currently working, so please be sure to read that.)

Church, you do some amazing work.

[caleb1740]

Thats a sweet banner!

[SimSportsWorld]

Thanks, Church really is amazing. I came up with the banner idea, and only he could put into a picture of exactly what I was thinking

[scoobz0202]

When is the league going to start?

[SimSportsWorld]

Within 2 weeks of OOTP5's release more then likely.

[Kelric]

If my beloved Red Sox weren't taken I'd mull over joining the league.

[SimSportsWorld]

Too bad, they are mine!!! Hehe... take the bees! Maybe I'll move Boston to Arizona in 1949, so you are the true Boston squad

[scoobz0202]

I am about to send in my app, luckily the Cincy Reds aren't taken, but then again, if I were playing a 1941 season and had a open choice I would of taken the Spankees also

[Jake]

I may have missed it, but how are the players being dispersed? By draft of they come with the team?

[Kelric]

Nah, it is Red Sox or bust!

Besides in 1941 you'd be able to land Ted Williams in his third season, with no wars coming.

[scoobz0202]

Teddy has nuffin.

EDIT: Besides its 1941..... and the Yankees won it that year

[statguy]

This looks like a great league! It's the right era, has experienced leadership, and it will be intensely active. Forget my beloved favorites, any team will do.

Each team will have their real players from 1941.

[SimSportsWorld]

Thanks!

A lot more applications are still wanted! If you are worried about the time off between now and OOTP5's release, don't worry! We will be doing such things as live chats, live trivia contests, and other fun games while we wait, so we can get to know each other!
