Commish looking for experienced help with new league

WeatherMike · 03-04-2003, 09:48 PM

If anyone out there is interested in helping me start up a league, let me know. I haven't even bought OOTP5 yet, so it's not starting really soon, but I could use some help with a web site and owner recruitment, and the like. Preferably someone with experience commishing or helping out in a league, since I haven't run one before.

I already have written an extensive constitution based on that of another league. It will be a realistic league using either 2003 rosters when they come out or a fantasy draft with this year's players (I haven't decided). E-mail: michael_ihle@prontomail.com AIM: WeatherMike9

I'm the Montreal Expos of the NSBL if you'd like to see my ability in putting together and running a team from scratch. It's my first and only team.

Hey Mike I do have OOTP5 and am also looking to start up a new league. I have been involved in OOTP since OOTP came out. I am not in any leagues so I am looking to be pretty dedicated to my league. However, I could use some help, and maybe a combination of us two workin on a league could work....If you are interested please let me know. I do have a topic currently going if you'd like to check it out....http://www.400softwarestudios.com/bo...threadid=26726

Wow, looks like we agree about the same kinds of things we want in a league. Sounds like us working together could be a definite possibility (LOL). I can get back with you this evening when I get home and send you the constitution.

By the way, if we eventually do start the league together, I have dibs on the Expos!

Alrighty, let me know!

Just make sure that you don't take the Braves

Mike did you read the rest of AnD1 BBaller's thread?

Some people believe him to be the infamous cheater JBlaze.

Thought you might want to know that before you ruin the reputation of your to-be-formed league and possibly yourself.

Take a look at pages 2-4 of his thread. The accusers have all played in other leagues with JBlaze.

Looks a bit suspicious. The admin needs to check the IP addresses to see if they match, but if the IP is not static, that will do no good. It would be bad if this guy is who he says he is and not another clone. If admin doesn't do anything, is there any other way to be sure? I don't want to waste 12 order IDs if he is jblaze, but I don't want to cheat an honest guy out of a fair shot either.
