Long-standing fictional league seeks 1

I'm a long-standing commish (four real life years- since ootp4) looking for a few owners for my OOTP6.5 fictional league. We'll switch to 2007 once I've testing everything through and through (a couple of seasons from now) Everyone who's been in my leagues knows that I run a very tight ship-- I sim like clockwork, and if I'm about to miss something, you know ahead of time. The league is tough- rebuilds fail, contending teams falter, surprise teams can win. Finally, I've set up the rules for FA to be vibrant, and for the league to be damn competitive.

I feel CPL is unique for a few reasons:

1. People regularly write good articles. In addition, I've started providing summaries of every sim- the major moves, injuries, and happenings.

2. We are a fictional league, but I simmed over 100 years of history. That means we have meaningful historical comparisons, great arguements about the HOF, etc. despite only having been in existence for 8 seasons.

3. We sim a small number of games, but we sim every weekday. You don't have to stay on top of your team every single day of the week, but if you're a control freak, you can.

4. We have a fixed finances system. You make 70 million bucks a year, no matter what. You can only spend 70 million bucks a year, no matter what. And you can't accumulate any cash.

5. You can only resign guys who want to resign with your team. Combined with 4 above, this means that it's really hard to have a dynasty, and it's comparatively easy to rebuild, because FA is vibrant. It also means no one really tanks. This itself is highly unusual for a veteran league.

I have a very quick boot for owners that I see as being lazy or bad, and as a result, the current owners are all top notch. But it also means I tend to have more openings than other leagues do. If interested, please send your email addy, AIM name, and team preference to sh.misra@gmail.com. We'll be starting the offseason in about a week.

League: CPL
Open Team: Boston Red Sox They've got a great base, they're contending now, and should be good for some time to come. Lots of talent on the DL for a month, however, means that this season could be a little dicey.
