Wanted: New Fictional League

zipster77 · 01-10-2006, 07:01 PM

I'm looking for an upstart fictional league that will start with a player pool and allow owners to draft their teams and build them from the beginning. It seems like there aren't many leagues like this starting up, but it looks like the demand is there. I think there is potential for a good league to get going. I know I would be the first to sign up and I'm sure many would follow!

LET's GET A GREAT FICTIONAL LEAGUE STARTED!

This league looks really cool, but I'm really wanting one that starts with a draft. I think this makes the team a little more personal and gives the owners a chance to get to know most of the league's players while preparing for the draft.

I tried to hold a draft in my former league that I had to close right now due to lack of time. Problem with a draft nobody keeps up with it. Time and time again it is the same thing.

I'd like to be in one from the beginning as well. I've never controlled an online league but I've been part of one and it folded. Maybe someone with experience will want to start fresh maybe in y2k and you get to pick your city and team name.

Still looking for a new fictional league. Anybody even thinking of getting one started?

I'd give the FBA a shot if I were you. You may never find anyone starting a league with a stocking draft... it's not too common. In every other way we sound like what you're looking for. First sim is Monday night.

As commish, I can say this... there are a lot of great OOTP leagues run by dedicated commissioners, but there are more of them started by guys who don't know what they're getting in for. Everyone gets left with nothing in that scenario. The FBA is going to be rock solid, because we're small and we're building a dedicated corps of owners. I am not screwing around

Give us a try... if it's not to your liking you can bail on June first. I built that into the league, so guys could try for a while and leave peacefully if they don't like it.

Your league looks really interesting. What teams are available?

whizkid1950 · 01-16-2006, 02:23 PM

Right now... Scranton, White Plains, Camden, Roanoke, Virginia Beach, and Tampa.

Jump on in, there's still time!
