Who wants to own a team?

Garlon · 04-17-2020, 02:08 PM

If you are interested in owning a team in a historical league let me know. I am considering starting a league using statsplus and OOTP 21. Maybe we can start in 1892 and complete a season every two weeks.

possibly interested. How would it work, exactly? My only concern is that I may not have enough free time, I work 6 days, 50-55 hours per week. Not sure if this would be something where the participants would need to be available at the same time in order for it to work, my hours can be goofy sometimes.

I was planning something like this.

Day 1. Play half the season. The owners will then decide if they want to find trade partners. We will give this about 5 days so owners can try to work out trades and submit them.

Day 7. Play to the end of the season. Teams may set playoff rosters.

Day 8. Playoffs.

Day 9-12. Rookie Draft. Not sure how this will work yet.

Day 13. Submit any trades before the season.

Day 14. Submit rosters before new season.

I am open to ideas too. Financials will be disabled too.

Would you recommend this for someone who really doesn't have much free time on his hands? I don't want to commit to a league, only to not be able to go through with it. This has happened to me with fantasy baseball/football in the past. I just don't want to waste anyone's time.

Maybe we can find a way for you to own a team with someone else? Or we can try and see how things go and if you want to give up ownership of the team that is fine. I need about 12 more owners though.

would you do actual drafts or random debut?

Garlon · 05-01-2020, 06:16 PM

This will use drafts with players debuting in their actual rookie season.

I would like to apply for a team!

Garlon · 05-03-2020, 10:17 AM

If there is a particular team you want, let me know totroi. If we get enough owners we can start in 1892 but with the teams from the 1901 season.

totroi · 05-04-2020, 11:08 AM

I Would take the Brooklyn Superbas first and the Boston Americans second!

Nick Soulis · 05-04-2020, 04:14 PM

I will take the Chicago White Stockings or Cubs

Garlon · 05-05-2020, 06:48 AM

ablobj, are you still interested?

There are a couple of other people interested too, but we still need 10 more owners.
