Hello,

Please PM me if you think you can help me get a OOTP League started up. I just need help knowing what to fill in for most of the options.

Hi Scott,

The best thing to do is to contact your host and ask them to give you instructions on how to create an FTP account for your site. More than likely, you already have one but it's the main account which has access to everything. For security purposes, you don't want to use that account in OOTP. If you have cPanel, login to it and locate "FTP Accounts". There you can create an ftp account with only access to a sub-directory that you can create and designate to house your game files. Then, after creating the FTP account, you will have the info you need to input in the game FTP setup.

Or you can have Fidel set it all up for you

Hi Scott, it's actually quite technically involved to set up a league, you need to know/own/understand the following:

- Webspace, specifically a webserver
- FTP / Cpanel (website admin stuff)
- Rudimentary HTML or CSS for customizing your website
- Several pages of configuration details within OOTP

Many people seem to go to Allsimbaseball (Fidel's company; he answered your post), as they specialize in helping people who are new to this kind of stuff.

I host my own site, but I can say that Fidel's company is a good value for what it offers.

Now, if this stuff is giving you a headache, and you just need a league to join, I have openings
