North American Arena Baseball Association starting up - looking for all GMs!

League Site: North American Arena Baseball Association

Set in 2050, The North American Arena Baseball Association will be an association of 4 leagues with all parks being either Dome or (when geographic location permits) retractable roof. The park factors will be as such:

All averages will be 1.200
All doubles will be 0.700
All triples will be 0.200
All Homeruns will be 2.000

All park dimensions will be 200/215/220/225/220/215/200

Walls will be 50 feet high
Stadium capacity will be allowed from 15,000 to 70,000

The park factors are obviously to give a major offensive feel to the game, but pitcher will still be able to have an affect on the game, as the strikeout factor will be 1.500 to allow for increased strikeout totals.

Leagues will use a typical 5-man rotation, with the exception of only 2 relievers typically being allowed (you would normally put Starter #6 or maybe even an ace-type pitcher here as a stopper)

Active roster limit: 20

The NAABA will be a four-tier association.

Arena Beta League (ABL) - 10 Teams
Arena Alpha League (AAL) - 10 Teams
Arena Champions League (ACL) - 10 Teams
International Premier Arena League (IPAL) - 10 Teams

All levels are considered Arena League Baseball (ALB)

For ABL and ACL, the winner of each league earns a promotion and the following boosts to payroll:

$10 million to your budget for the ABL
$20 million to your budget for the AAL

For the AAL, the lowest team faces relegation and a $5 Million decrease in team team budget

For the ACL, the top three teams are promoted to the IPAL, with the 2nd and 3rd place teams receiving a $30 Million dollar increase and the winner receiving $40 Million.

For the IPAL, obviously the three lowest teams face relegation and a $10 million decrease in budget.

The IPAL will have a 6-team playoff
The winner of the IPAL is granted $50 Million to their budget.

But that's not all!

NAABA will also hold an Association playoff:

The top two teams from each of the lower tiers, plus all playoff teams of the IPAL will compete in a 12-team playoff tournament, with the winning team receiving a $50 Million increase in their budget (something that will either solidify a Premier team, or change the course of a lower franchise)

The current rules (that I can think of) are as follows:
Managers: Off, all GMs will be GM/Managers
Scouts - On
Overall Ratings - Off
Potential Ratings - Stars
Batting ratings - 0 - 100 (Potential only!)
Budget: Entire revenue is available

ALL TEAMS ARE FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE

I have set up our league site on Allsimbaseball.com and Slack will be our primary communication.

Sims will be Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun with an extra sim on Tuesdays during the offseason.

Currently there are 2-3 of us, so we need about 37-38 curious GM's! Come make Arena Baseball happen!

I've just decided to order the site on Allsim. Site should be ready in 24 hours.

Slack will be the primary league communication.
We will sim every Monday/Wednesday/Friday/Sunday with a live sim every Sunday night.

Extra sim on Thursday during the offseason.

Once you join you may create you own team and specify your stadium size! But all stadiums must have the same dimensions and park factors

If you had 50 foot high walls, wouldn't you still end up with a lot of 2B?

Not according to the online park creator. I think it's because there's essentially no outfield.

Although I did modify the OPC's factors a bit to "tone down" the homerun totals. The park creator's homerun factor was something like 2.5 or 2.8. I'm okay with 80-100 homeruns for people instead of 150-200

Still have plenty of room.

Once you join, I'll assign you a team to customize. Your location will determine your market size and the inaugural draft will decide your tier destination.

Come and join!

League has been adjusted to a 10-team league so we're currently full.

However we are a 10-team league with the vision of being a 2-tier pro/rel league, so we will be looking to expand after the inaugural sim season!

PM Me if you're interested in being an expansion team at season's end!
