The EAB is a promotion / relegation league featuring teams in cities from the Americas (North, Central & South). The League consists of two Territories, Western and Eastern. Under each Territory lie four Echelons stacked on top of each another. Each Echelon contains eight teams, all in the same division. Each season after the regular season Champions have been crowned, the Echelon Cup begins...a 64 team battle royale tournament (5 game series in each round) for revenue, stadium seating, bragging rights and a boost in fan interest. The first round of the Cup also features all Eastern vs. Western match-ups so you may be rooting for the same teams you were battling all season long.

Be a part of a league where mailing it in will only make it harder for you to succeed. You will be fighting until the last game of each and every season no matter where you are in the standings because of the results based Fan Loyalty System and to secure a better seed in the Echelon Cup. This league is a great place for beginners and veterans alike to test their skills. Do you have what it takes to rise to the highest Echelon in the league or make a run at the Cup? Fill out an application today and find out.

Hey guys. Anyone looking for a new league or a first league, the EAB is the place. Jay runs a tight ship and is very patient and fair. You won't be disappointed.

Great league people.

Always someone to trade with (64 teams!). You always have something to play for (first place for a promotion, avoiding the relegation, etc.).

The Echelon Cup is our own March Madness! Can a 4th tier team upset the mighty 1st tier team? EVERYONE makes it into the tourney!

Well thought out promotion/relegation plan, rules, finances, etc. Great Commish and many great owners!

I'm not in the league, but I can vouch for the Commish as I'm sure this is well run just like Jay's other leagues. If you're looking for a good fictional league, this is one of the best options out there.

i can vouch for the league too! loads of fun and a very professional group

OK I've made an application, however: I'm new to OOTP, and have never been in an online league. So if a complete greenhorn is OK...

cheers

I've never done an on-line league either and looked over your site. Well organized. I am confused by what you mean by exports & weekly sims. How would it look on a daily/weekly basis. As an owner/GM what exactly become the responsibilities? Sounds like fun

Your responsibilities are the same as in a solo league...setting lineups, signing free agents, drafting players, etc. So as a GM you make all of the changes, as mentioned, that you wish then Export (send) your changes to a server. The Commish then uploads all of the team Exports from the server at Sim time. A Sim consists of running off generally 7 in-game days and then an updated league file is created. You update your game, then rinse & repeat.

I put in an application as well. Make me Greenhorn #2.

SMFXR01 · 08-13-2009, 06:56 PM

I can certainly recommend this league.
Well run and relegation/promotion is a great twist.

League is now full, thanks for all the interest. If you would like to hear of future openings please submit an application to be placed on our waiting list.
