RANZBA -- Fast Sim league starting up

jimedrice · 06-16-2013, 09:30 PM

I am starting up a fast sim league RANZBA -- RANZBA -- and looking for interested GMs to fill it out.

Fast sim means a season in 2 weeks, with game sims running a full month, so there is less micro managing but no prolonged periods of down time. Sims are every weekday with 6 game sims, one playoff/draft sim and 3 offseason sims. I am hoping to get the league up and simming by next Monday the 24th

I am starting this since SLOP, the fast sim league I was in and really enjoyed, folded due to commish time restraints, leaving me missing my quick OOTP fix. Fast sim isn't for tinkerers -- 7 day lineups are out the window -- since it takes a bit more of the long-term perspective, but it can be really rewarding as a history quickly builds and players develop and grow much more quickly.

If interested head to the site, register and post for a team.

Still looking to fill up before the planned start on Monday.

If you haven't tried fast sim, try it. No better ootp fix!

we're half way full with a bevy of long-time OOTP Gms and commishes.

Give fast-sim a whirl -- it's a different experience than standard OOTP leagues.

Down time? Nope.

2 weeks real time periods of crappy free agency and winter meetings sims? Nope.

6 month real time rebuilding projects? Nope. Rebuild your crappy team in a month!

jim's done a great job setting this league up with a board and everything is extremely well thought out. If you're still plying around the OOTP13 world and looking to add a new league, RANZBA could be a diamond in the rough. I rarely play in leagues that I'm not running, but the creative concept here and the ability to generate a history fast with this fast-sim setup enticed me.

I've had a few "where the hell is my team from" questions asked, so here's a visual look at the RANZBA universe. Still a few openings and we'd love to have you onboard. Head to Join RANZBA to claim your team. Simming starts July 1st!
