World Baseball Association Openings

Huckleberry · 04-18-2017, 10:32 PM

The World Baseball Association has just started its 13th season.
------------------------------

Full League Name (Initials): World Baseball Association (WBA)
League Type: Fictional
Main URL: World Baseball Association
Boards URL: WBA Forum
Rules URL: WBA Constitution
Commissioner OOTP Forum Username(s): Huckleberry
Email Address: huckleberry@worldbaseballassociation.com
OOTP Version: OOTP18
Game Needed: Required
# of Teams: 20 teams from international locations
Sim Schedule: Regular season will be 5 days per week, scheduled for Su-Th nights.
League Time Per Sim: 7 Days
First Season: 2100
Special Rules & Settings: Custom financials (see Rules link). Coaching and scouting disabled (so 100% scouting accuracy). Association setup with two separate and distinct leagues with champions meeting in a best-of-nine association championship series each year. League-specific draft pools but trading and free agency between leagues enabled. New owners may move teams but must keep them within the divisional geography. 1995 statistical settings were used for league creation; more/less offense and more/less pitching league evolution settings were originally left ON with all other evolution off, however statistical issues have caused us to move to a modified era_stats file to control statistical output. OOTP OU and Stats+ are used for league functions where possible.

All of that and more explained in the rules link above. There are several custom tools pages that I coded to make participation easier. These include financial snapshots, a backup team export file upload tool, a page that checks for any contracts outside of league rules, position check for players being assigned incorrect positions, and a DFA status page that allows owners to check to see if they need to take care of any DFA issues without having to get into the game. Take a look around the league site and let me know if you have any questions or better yet would like to join!

We are now currently full. Please let me know if you'd like to be added to the waiting list.

Huckleberry · 05-01-2017, 05:12 PM

The Karachi Falcons have just opened up as an owner had to step away from the league. If you're looking for an exciting rebuild opportunity this is the team for you as they have the #1 pick in the upcoming IBL amateur draft and also have plenty of cash on hand.

Huckleberry · 05-02-2017, 12:59 PM

Bump (yeah I know it was the second thread). The draft starts tonight, timer goes active on Thursday. Take advantage of the #1 pick.

Huckleberry · 05-17-2017, 02:48 PM

Another bump. Karachi is still available, we are in spring training.

AndyHustle · 05-19-2017, 11:13 AM

This is a great league with some really good owners. I find myself checking the website 10+ times a day. We are about to start a new season so it's a perfect time to join in on the fun

Awesome, welcome to the WBA! I will send you an email this afternoon/evening with more information.

Huckleberry · 05-21-2017, 02:00 PM

Karachi is still open. Shoot me a PM or email if you're interested!

Huckleberry · 07-09-2017, 05:41 PM

Bump.

Having a hard time getting a consistent Karachi owner. We just moved into the offseason, let me know if you're interested!

Huckleberry · 07-14-2017, 09:20 PM

New York City and Karachi are now open. PM or email me if you're interested!

Huckleberry · 07-19-2017, 01:56 PM

Bump, drafts are starting now. Get in when you can shape your franchise. NYC and Karachi both still open.

Hello, I would want to take over one of these franchises.
Thank you.

Huckleberry · 09-08-2017, 03:33 PM

Washington is available. PM or email me with interest. Great league, great group of owners.

Monarch3 · 09-09-2017, 11:17 AM

Sent an email about taking over the Senators.

Thanks guys, I have some people to respond to. I am moving this weekend so please bear with me.

I filled out the form

Huckleberry · 03-01-2018, 11:30 AM

Ottawa has just come open. Please PM or email me if you're interested in joining!

Monarch3 · 03-04-2018, 11:59 PM

I'm the outgoing Ottawa Whiskey Jack GM and just wanted to say that this is an extremely well-run league with a great commissioner and wonderful GMs. I'm only leaving because I've learned that fictional leagues are probably not for me. If you want a league that does this style well, sign up now.

Meantime, I'm still GMing the team while a replacement is found. That's how much I care about the league. Everyone was good to me; I want to return the favor on the way out.
