Dog Days Baseball

beorn · 05-31-2015, 11:37 AM

Dog Days Baseball has been around since 2003, and we are approaching 60 seasons of baseball sims. We are a fictional league in a fictional country.

24 teams plus 4 minor league levels

We keep it moving!
* 4 sims a week during the season, each sim covering a week of the season
* sims every day in the off season
* very few missed sims in all the years we have been running
* a season takes about 7 weeks of real life time
* off season takes about 12 days

Some outside-the-game-engine features:
* each city has a built in advantage
* annual organizational goals
* sandwich pick compensation for lost free agents
Commish does not run a team, instead handling these aspects of the league

=> Scouts on, coaches off
=> Originally a “stats only” league, with no current player ratings; now we use only vague (1-5) ratings, so you still must rely mostly on stats to evaluate players
=> Player potential ratings are a somewhat more informative 1-10, to make drafting practical

We are fine with 1st time online players… It is competitive, but not cutthroat, and lots of us are glad to give help if you are just starting out

* Rule 5 enabled
* June 1 ammy draft… Rounds 1-3 on forum; remainder in-game... No signing bonuses; drafted players sign automatically
* Foreign ammies enabled
* Morale system enabled
* Interleague play and DH off

We moved to OOTP 16 this morning and Opening Day is Tuesday. We have one vacancy -- the Point Breeze Salty Dogs

The season is underway, as is the draft, but we are still seeking a GM for Point Breeze, and also for the Hinsdale Hares.

Highly recommend any league run by Beorn.

TribeFanInNC · 06-08-2015, 05:27 PM

Ditto. I've been a couple of his leagues and he runs a tight ship. Highly recommend.

beorn · 06-08-2015, 07:23 PM

Thank you both for the kind words.

Hinsdale now has a GM, Point Breeze still in need.

Ready for Opening Day, and the Cottonwood Ravens need a new GM.

Cottonwood was in the championship series three seasons back, but has had a couple tough seasons in a row.

If you are interested, let me know.

Cottonwood is still open -- and Hinsdale is too.

It's mid-June, and we have vacancies:

Point Breeze - Just had the #1 ammy pick, who looks to be a good one
Hood River - Has had some down seasons but inching back into competition
Cottonwood - In the running for next year's #1 ammy pick, but has some good prospects to work with
Hinsdale - A fixer upper, for someone who wants a challenge

Fun league, strong competition, and a dependable sim schedule.

Email me your team preference if you are interested.

Point Breeze has been adopted. The others are still looking.

Just Hood River remains up for adoption.
