Pacific Baseball Federation (PBF) seeks you!!

PBF is a fictional league set in the pacific islands (think Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji etc).

It's a fictional league using strategy modifiers from 1960 to 1979.

We've been going for about 20 in game seasons, or about 2.5 years of real life. Note, I don't GM a team, so completely unbiased commish, I commish only.

The real difference maker in this league is that it's a potential ratings only league, so if you like going deep into your leagues, minors and feeders to analyse and review players as they develop then this league IS FOR YOU. If you just like to download the latest league, take a quick look over your team for injuries and export, then this league probably isn't for you.

We're a reasonably mature bunch of GMs where communication daily on slack isn't critical, but it's great to give your fellow GMs a ribbing when they underperform and choke in the playoffs

OOTP version: 18 (we will also move to 19 no doubt)
Sim schedule: Every day at around 4am-7am central

Open again - Nadi is available. Great time to get in on the league as we're just about to start spring training for a new season in a couple of days. Had a new guy take over Nadi recently but realised the time commitment didn't work for him.

Great team, cracking logo and uniforms
