Want to help The Athletic with our OOTP league?

Hello everyone!

We're running a 30-team league at The Athletic with a bunch of beat writers, some fantasy writers and a couple editors. We have the 30 teams and are ready to roll... and just realized we have no real idea on how to run an online league.

We could use a little help... in the form of a Commissioner. Rich at OOTP said they'd be able to compensate you for your time. We'll throw in a free year subscription to The Athletic, too.

I've (Nando) played OOTP for about six years, in single-player mode, but I'm completely clueless as to how the online setup works. And I know most of our writers have never played before. So this might require a little patience...

The upside is... could be a lot of fun?

If you're interested, let us know. We'll be forever grateful for the help.

Thanks very much!

Nando Di Fino and Eno Sarris

I am interested, I’ve been running leagues for the past 5 or so years.

Okay, we are all good here. Thank you to everyone who sent messages. And I guess stay tuned for the results on the site!

Thank you everyone! This is much appreciated. Whoever the Commissioner is, if you want to hit me up I'd love to extend my thanks personally.

Hey, I love the Athletic, read it all the time. I am a Padres fan so hope Dennis Lin is playing. Anyways I am excited to see how you guys do! I hope you guys put up the reports somewhere so we can follow this league closely.
