RANZBA has 2 open teams

jimedrice · 10-03-2018, 08:45 AM

RANZBA -- the premier fast-sim team for the land down under -- has 2 teams open as we kick off 2033. The Sydney Lords and Dunedin Highlanders are all open and wanting a fresh new management team.

RANZBA is a fast-sim league. We run a full season in 2 weeks, each sim basically a month long so it is not a league for the micro-manager in you. Instead it i about seeing the bigger developmental trends play out much faster. Its the sort fo league where in a month and a half of real time you can rebuild and start contending again, instead of not even getting halfway through a regular online league season.

We use a custom database I built to expand the Australia & New Zealand regions, and a custom first & last names database. Teams have 3 custom designed logos, 2 uni sets and 4 minor league teams each with a custom logo & uni. We use Stats+ and OOTP OU and have a few quirky rules because of the nature of fast-sim and the various ways the game can be abused. We try to prevent that.

RANZBA has been fast-simming for 5 real years now. We ran through 100 Season of RANZBA 1.0 and re-booted for RANZBA 2.0 (the current version) last year. An excellent core of long-time GMs who have been playing this game since the wee versions.

This is a great league guys. Well run and always has been. If you are scared of the speed of it, you will grow to love it. It's a nice balance to my slower leagues and it's great to be able to see progress and development at a more rapid pace.

Come on and join us!

Dunedin Highlanders last open team... Come and get 'em

Highlanders are filled but a long-term GM has left and the Fremantle Black Swans are open. They've been well tended to and are in good shape for the new GM.
