SBC - Yep, It's Baseball in Australia!!

mikezone13 · 08-03-2020, 03:19 AM

Sydney Baseball Championship and the Vuctorian Baseball League have merged and are now the Australian Baseball League. A fictional world set in Australia that has just made the move to OOTP 21!

We've been going for nearly 50 in game seasons, or about 6 years of real life. Note, I don't GM a team, so completely unbiased commish, I commish only.

This is one of the great OOTP leagues IMO (yes I am biased), but we've got a bunch of guys who have been there from day 1 and most GMs have come from referrals.

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

League specs below:

OOTP version: 21
Sim schedule: Every day at around 3am-7am central
Sim days: 7 days per sim in the regular season
Season length: 126 games
Ratings: 1-10 current and potential
League structure: 2 sub-leagues of 10 teams each
DH: No
Trading of draft picks: No
Financials: Quite strict, see rules here http://happybandits.com/ootp/online_...bc_main/rules/
Communication: Slack channels (day-to-day)
StatsPlus (S+): Slack integration for real time results, drafting, awards etc. and fully hosted on statsplus
Statsab: Yes (for deep dive stats and HoF voting etc)
Minors: AAA and AA
Feeders: No
IAFAs: Yes
Writing requirement: No

League website: https://statsplus.net/sbc/ - check the links sub-menu for 'links'
Teams available: Nth Melbourne, Essendon & Cronulla

St george filled, but due to time restraints the GMs of Essendona nd Cronulla have stepped down, so they're available along with North Melbourne

Fantastic league with a great & consistent commish that I've had the privilege to be a part of since the beginning. Puts in a lot of effort, from communication down to the details on your logos/uniforms.

Have come to know and have a great time with a lot of the members of it. Some fun trash talking to intelligent discussions on baseball and OOTP.

Small enough that you can focus (20 teams) but big enough for a lot of variety and research inducing nights.

Always pumped to see new active Managers join.
