The PBA is heading into our 30th Season and begins the search for a new GM.
We're a fast paced league, running 4 to 5 seasons within a calendar year.

What we offer is this:

If you're looking for a STABLE league: ,

Openings in this league are rare, with this being just the second since the 2045 season. 21 of our 24 GMs have been in the league 5+ seasons, with 12 GM's who have been here since our 2022 season!! We still have 9 original GMs.
You're time, effort and investment won't be wasted

If you're looking for a CHALLENGING league:

It's been 17 seasons since we've seen back-to-back Champions (2029-30 Season's). We've had teams win multiple times.
Over the last 20 seasons, the best team through the regular season "only" won the Championship 6 times.

If you're looking for a REALISTIC & COMPETITVE league we have that too.

Our league has seen MULTIPLE playoff spots regularly up for grabs heading into our final SIM's over the last in the last 10 seasons.
Revenue Sharing has had 7 of the lowest percentage rates in the last 10 years,
The Spread from the Most Wins in a season to the Most Losses has also seen 7 of our most competitive seasons in the last 10 years

For example our 2045 season saw our best team win 101 games (.623) and our worst team lost 97 games (.401) for a spread of .222, and our 2nd most competitive season.

Hackensack is vacant

Very well run league, by a very dedicated commissioner.

I've been in PBA for 4+ seasons now and I can also vouch that it is a well organized, well run, and challenging league (in a fun way) to be a part of. The commissioner is a great communicator and keeps the league running smoothly. The other GMs are also dedicated and active. Of all the leagues I am in, PBA has the least amount of GM turnover that I've seen, which doesn't surprise me based on how active everyone is here.
