BIG Baseball League - just starting up

Zarberg · 11-25-2011, 03:51 PM

A new OotP 12 Baseball league is starting up, and looking for a few patient owners wanting to get in on the ground floor. This is a fictional League starting in 1980 with real MLB cities and real MLB teams. Sims will be 3 times a week for 7 days of sim time - that equals 21 simmed days per real-life week.

About me: I used to run the #1 Baseball Mogul Sim around, the BIG Baseball League. In its heyday we had a full league of owners and completed around 20 full seasons. The league dissolved when I moved and job demands took over. Well, OotP has made it pretty easy to run a league, so here I am, back again.

I have my own domain and the league will be running on my own server. I'm hoping to eventually get an e-mail server of some type up and running too, and supply owners with their own e-mail addresses if they want. As of right now 2 owners from the original BIG League are running teams, so just about every team is open.

If you're interested, check out our forum: http://big-league.proboards.com Ask for an invite stating your interest and if there is a team you'd prefer to have, and hope to see you soon on the diamond!

My apologies if you contacted me and I didn't get back to you, I had a surprising amount of people ask to join in just the first 20 minutes after I posted. If you're still interested, please go to the google group listed in the original post in this thread and ask for an invite!

UPDATE!

There was a lot of dissatisfaction with the league file we were going to use, so it's been decided that all the owners who are sticking around are going to democratically decide the settings on a fictional league. Want to be a part of a league for the owners, BY the owners? Come check us out:

Most start-up settings are to be decided via poll on the forums, think of it like a functional congress with the commissioner as president. As of right now the commissioner will only run the worst computer-controlled team in the league, so impartiality is a big deal here.

We've got 11 questions currently that the individual owners are deciding (commish gets a single vote), come tomorrow evening the answers to those questions will shape our league! Want to be a part of something different and owner-driven? Come check us out!
