International Virtual Baseball League
The Virtual Baseball League & International Virtual Baseball League are currently made up of two separate but equally awesome OOTP simulation leagues. I'll provide a separate post for IVBL in a few.
The history of the VBL dates back to the mid 1990’s, when Front Page Sports was the simulation platform of choice. Since 2012 though, OOTP has become the foundation for our great community. Currently, both leagues have converted to OOTP 18 within the last week. While many aspects of each league differ, the one rule that will never change in any league associated with the VBL is that the Commissioner does NOT own or operate any franchise within his league. The only time a Commissioner might operate a team within his own league is if the team is left without an owner or a team’s owner is away from OOTP for an extended period of time. The two leagues are very different, below I will post everything you need to know to determine whether the VBL or IVBL are a good fit for you! The IVBL is unique because every team is located in a different country throughout the world. Our players mostly come from those countries, and our draft provides several "now" ready talent. We like to think of our draft as an NFL style draft. Also, the statistics are modeled after the early 1970's of MLB. So lots of complete games! Also, we have no divisions. The top 8 teams make it to the elite 8 tournament. IVBL # of Seasons: 3 Real Time History: 2016-Present Current Timeframe: Just crowned a champion, draft in a few weeks Sim Days: Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday Sim Deadline: 7pm est Sim Length: 3 virtual days per sim in season Off-season Sim Length: 3 virtual days until new year, then 5. Teams Open: Two - Gdansk & New York Owner Communication: Private Email List League Website: http://thevbl.org/ League Reports: https://statsplus.net/ivbl/ League Rules: http://thevbl.org/ivbl-constitution/ Details: Participation Reward Program: Yes Scouting: On, Normal Actual, Potential, Other Ratings: 20-80 Overall/Potential: 20-80 Coaching System: On (GM's are GM and Manager) Owner Goals: On DH: Yes Active Roster Size: 30 International Complex: n/a Minor Leagues: You only have a AAA team Waiver Length: n/a DFA Period: n/a Disabled List: 10 day Option Years?: No Rule 5 Draft?: No Draft Pick Trading: Yes Amateur Draft: Mid November Feeder League: Yes, college and high school Draft Pick Compensation: No Cash Cap: $10mil Owner Control?: Yes, owner decides Games: 138 Schedule: Balanced Playoff Format: Top 8 make the final tournament. Teams 5-8 only get one home game in a best of 5. Then normal 2-3-2 format. Owner Expectations: - Remain active exporting, this includes attention to your minor leagues - Participate by submitting team press releases at the end of virtual months. We provide a template for teams to use to avoid creative excuses. You get rewards to edit young players by doing these and exporting on a regular basis. So why not? - Have fun, and don't take fake baseball TOO serious -Willingness to convert to future OOTP's as needed. We try NOT to advance with every version, but generally every other is a safe bet. Interested? Private message me with details about your OOTP experience. Being a previous online GM is not a requirement, just good to see.
