Dog Days Baseball

beorn · 05-21-2012, 04:07 PM

Dog Days Baseball has been around since 2003, and we have now simmed 45 years of baseball. 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
* 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 advantages
* annual organizational goals
* sandwich pick compensation for lost free agents
Commish does not run a team, instead handling these aspects of the league

=> 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
=> scouts on… Potential ratings are a somewhat more informative 1-10

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
* Hidden players (foreign prospects) enabled
* Morale system enabled
* Interleague play and DH off
* Suspensions off

Red Willow is filled, but Greenwood is now vacant.

Great league and great commish!

Thought we had a GM for Greenwood, but I guess not. Still looking!

At the ammy draft, and we need a new GM for Kendall.

Shoot me an email if you want to adopt them.

How far into the season are you? How many years have you played?

I have been in the DDB for 9 seasons and this is on of the best on-line leagues that I have been in. The Commish dedicated to the league and very rarely ever has to delay a sim. He is just the commish, he doesn't run a team, and is open to discussing ways to make the league even better. Just a great all-around league.

We start season 45, and we have one vacancy: Greenwood.

Shoot me an email if you are interested.

Bump - Greenwood is still begging for a new GM.

beorn · 01-09-2013, 08:55 PM

A new season begins, the ammy draft is underway... and Kendall has just lost its GM. Looking for a committed GM to take over the Griffins.

Time for spring training for yet another season, and we are looking for a new GM for two franchises -- Blackwood and Kendall.

Kendall finished second last season and have a good core of players. Blackwood finished last in their division, and holds the #3 pick overall in the upcoming ammy draft. Both teams are financially solvent -- Blackwood actually has the lowest payroll in the league.

This will be our final season using OOTP13 -- we'll move to 14 next off season.

Hopefully we can find a couple of new GMs who are really into OOTP competition!

Great league, great commish, solid core group of owners, many who have been there longer than me even (13 seasons)!

Still looking for two GMs!

I am interested in this league. I've tried twice to hop onboard with leagues that were forming and both time we never made it past the inaugural draft. I don't have too much OOTP experience but I am familiar enough with the program that I am sure I can work out the finer details as seasons progress.

Great league, great commish. Unique environment. Go Cottonwood!
