New fictional league looking for Owners...

PCline26 · 01-20-2003, 03:56 PM

I've been experimenting for the past year in different leagues so I could get a good feel for them, so now I know for sure I'm ready to start one of my own. Now I know most people will want an OOTP5 league to start upon release, but since most people won't be getting it right then I'll just go ahead and start an OOTP4 league. Here is some information that you guys might find helpful if you have interest in the league. I'll also answer any questions either here, or e-mail me, pcline09@aol.com.

- We'll be starting completely from scratch, no record books. The way I see it, if I created a league and ran a few years to get history then it would just feel more like a pick-up league, no innovation in that right?

- I am hoping for at least 16 franchises to start out with, 24 would be great, however 16 is a great start, and it would be more managable for the first year or two of the league.

- The format is going to be fictional players as well as fictional teams, seems more of a challenge when you don't already know what the player can do. The sim' schedule right now is planned for two times a week, one calendar week per sim'. A few people have told me two weeks per sim' is good, but I'll make this a vote prior to the start of the season.

- Ah yes, the website. So far only the application page and site map is up. Currently the main information is posted here, but later tonight I'll have a complete handbook up.

Features:
