More about the league:
The Pro Baseball Clubs Association is a league where you decide how you want to build your franchise. Owners will have a 9 figure budget to build their franchise, including: stadium, team budget, fan interest, loyalty, media contract and market size.

Each joining GM will decide on the name/city of each team in their organization from ML down to R Level. They also must provide the Commish with the jersey and cap files for each team.

YOU customize YOUR organization YOUR way from top to bottom!

Special rule for the PBCA: Each season, the pennant winners in each division will take part in a team draft. GM's will have the chance to decide who they want in their division for the following season. Strategize by drafting the weakest team...or have fun matching your roster against the best from the previous season!

There will be an inaugural draft where each team will draft 25 players. The rest of the organizations (from AAA to R) will be filled automatically once the inaugural draft is done. The inaugural draft will be held in StatsLab when we're ready to go.

Other Settings (to be discussed once all GM's have joined and modified if needed):
• Ratings: 1-10
• Potential Ratings scale: 1-10
• Other Ratings scale: 1-10
• Overall Ratings (stars) – On

If you have registered to the league and using a Yahoo.com email address, I may have trouble reaching you. If you haven't heard back from me since filling the registration form on the website, send me a pm here and we'll get you going in order to join the league!

A lot of people registered but haven't returned the mandatory Franchise creator file yet, so we are still looking for people to join and make this a 20-team league!

We're waiting for you!

PBCA Commish · 11-30-2015, 02:14 PM

13 official franchises. Where is yours?

PBCA Commish · 12-01-2015, 10:07 AM

We are down to 5 franchises available as of today. If we get the 5 GM's to fill the available spots, we will schedule the inaugural draft for next week.

Come join the fun!!!
