Canadian Baseball League has openings!

One of the longest running OOTP leagues has a few openings! We have been around for OVER 11 years (real time) and have just completed our 45th season... what more can you ask for?

Full League Name (Initials): Canadian Baseball League (CBL)
Main URL: CBL Portal
Reports URL: BNN Home Page
Boards URL: CBL Index page
OOTP Version: 13
Game Needed: Required
Players: Fictional
# of Teams: 24
Export Deadlines Days And Times: 4 times a week, 10PM EST
League Time Per Sim: 1 week
First Season: 2002
Latest Season: Entering 2047
Available Teams: British Columbia, Winnipeg, Edmonton

This is a great league with a great cast. The commish has been the commish since the league first started back in April of 2002 (real time!) and many of the members are quite active and friendly. If you're into fictional leagues at all, IMO you'll be hard-pressed to find a better league.

Probably the biggest key to winning in the CBL is to not overpay for guys. You'll quickly notice that the best teams are pretty frugal when it comes to their finances and they often let some good players just walk away if they want too much. It can be awfully tempting to pay whatever a FA wants to bring him to your team, but it's also the quickest way to dig yourself a hole from which it may take seasons to dig yourself out of. Still, there are some FAs that are well worth whatever they want, like one of the best aces in the league, but many of the players will not only take your wallet, but much of your organization's future too if you let them. Play it smart, however, and you should do well.

To apply, just PM me.

The two teams that are available are in two very different spots - the British Columbia Eagles are coming off of a playoff appearance, and should be a good team for years to come. The Winnipeg Warriors on the other hand are a team that needs an owner who is committed to a rebuild.

I have been in this league for many (real life) years and almost 40 seasons now. Chris is an amazing, dedicated GM and I have never once thought of leaving the league, in all that time.

Just keep in mind that talent isn't over-flowing in the CBL so it can be a bit of a surprise to new GM's when they join. If you see that as a challenge, and not a deterrent, then this is the league for you.

Top notch league right here. Openings are often hard to come by, so get in while you still can!
