GMC Has a Few Vacancies

Dean Gordon · 02-14-2004, 07:53 PM

The Global Managers Challange - GMC - has re-started after a hiatus and is looking for solid, dedicated owners to fill out the four vacancies we have.

Irwn Intimidators

Fresno Grizzlies

Flagler Barracudas

Warsaw Gold Eagles

are available.

The GMC has always been one of the toughest around, with some of the best and brightest owners going. It is also one of the best leagues in terms of participation, usually topping the 90% participation level sim in and sim out, season after season.

We are just starting our 14th season (one of the oldest OOTP leagues around), and the league was originally started by legendary co-Commissioners Joe Ramsey and Eric Wedge, who wanted a league where they can revisit their youth and watch all their 1980s childhood baseball stars come alive again. The league started with the 1983 season and an initial 25-round draft. Franchises were split into North American and International (DH) leagues, and owners were allowed to name the franchises and mould the stadium to their liking. Dean Gordon took over as Commish for the 1988 season, and the league updraded to OOTP v5 for the 1993 campaign.

As a commish I am a firm believer in participation, as teams that win are invariably those whose owners give a damn and do whats necessary to either get their team to the top or keep it there. As such, for each sim, I require at least an email saying "no changes". This lets me know that at least the owner took a look at his team between sims.

I am an active owner in the league (Unionville Canadians) and have been since the beginning. My team is now a regular season powerhouse, thanks to some crafty trading, but the Gordon Curse always, without fail, cripples me come playoff time, almost comically finding ways to lose when it matters most (that damn karma thing).

If anyone is interested in either team please check out the league site, the rules, and then get back to me.

When sending me an email, please let me know your OOTP experience, any leagues you have been in or are currently in (URLs included - I prefer to get recommendations from other Commishes or owners I know in leagues an applicant is in, in order to avoid constant team turnover).

Cheers,

Dean Gordon

Well, knowing that my team has zero chance of winning in 2 of them does keep me going....
