Hey all, I am the founder and former commissioner of the United States Baseball Association. We run a three-league promotion/relegation system consisting of thirty-two teams. Features unique to the league include:


--In-season League Cup (think FA Cup in English football)
--MTWTF sim, 1 game series per sim
--108 game season, each team plays the other over four series (2h, 2a)
--Promotion and relegation playoffs at the end of the season
--Cash-based financial system
--GMs have complete discretion over all revenue
--Player loans


Highlights of this season:


--After going 83-25 and earning promotion from the Second League in Season 3, the Louisville Slugs locked up second place and eventually took down the Premier League Championship, the first time a Second League team has won the Premiership

--Thunder Bay, a Third League team, defeated three solid Premier League teams, including the defending champion, to make it to the USBA Cup Final

--The Chicago Gold Sox (me), an original six team, failed to return to the Premier League for a second season in a row, despite leading the Second League for the majority of the season

--After accumulating a pile of cash in Season 3, the Columbus Tidal Waves bought up talent and went 86-22 in the Third League, earning 1st place and automatic promotion to the Second League


Feel free to post with questions about the league. Thanks!

The Detroit Reapers, a long time Premier League team with a rich winning history is up for grabs. The old GM resigned due to not enough time to play. This team has been in the top 3 multiple times in the past 4 years and needs a good, active GM to get the franchise back on it's feat after a brush back season. It will be a hard job as this team was almost regulated last year, but with some help a lucky GM can turn this team back to how it was a few years ago. If you are interested, please email me at groupfivei2@gmail.com.

Along with Detroit, our other openings are:

Silver League:
Montreal Rivermen
Northern Virginia Retrievers

Third League:
Southern Cali Storm
Jacksonville Sharks
Capital District Red Knights

Awesome League!!!! There are exciting things happening at all levels. There are places for newer players and veterans a like. This could be one of the most competitive leagues out there as we typically have at least 5 out of 10 Premier League teams have a realistic shot at a title for most of the season. There is always a fight at the top and bottom of the league to stay up.
This is THE League for baseball fans and soccer supporters alike or really anyone really looking for a new format to play OOTP. Most memebers are active in writing occasional posts on or wordpress page and many more are active on AIM. This league almost has a 24/7 news cycle always something to talk about and people willing to talk about it.
