Corporate League Baseball

disposableheros · 10-15-2006, 11:15 PM

The CLB needs a CEO to take over the reigns of their favorite corporation's baseball squad.

We are a 24-team fictoral league that just started our 9th offseason routine (1988).

some league settings:
2 leagues with 3 divisions
170 game season with interleague play
sims are run every even numbered day in 7 game bursts (9 PM EST export deadline)
DH in the Executive League, no-DH in the Capitalist League
no salary cap and $25 mil cash cap
7-9-9 playoffs
1-10 ratings for both actuals and talent
Modern Era league totals
Rule 5 draft is disabled, minor league FA and options are enabled

We hold 2 drafts every year with the 1st being a real player draft in the preseason and the 2nd a fictional draft in June. The combined number of rounds is always 10, so the fictional draft is altered each year to reach that number. The order of the 1st round of the fictional draft is based on the finishing order of our annual CEO of the Year award, winner picks first, runner-up picks second, third picks third, on down the line. How do you win it? This is a corporate environment, so of course, you have to win, make money, and control expenses! (its determined by a highly complex proprietary formula

)

Becoming an owner entitles you to rename your team and stadium and, if you ask nicely, im sure local graphics guru Pepeda would be happy to whip up one of his amazing logos. Some perks come along with being in a league with talent like that

The open team is St. Pauli Girl.

If you think this sounds like a good fit for you, contact our commish (Jazzrack) by email at hackers@corporatebaseball.us

edit 11/6: 1st sim of the season is done and the fictional ammy is under way.

This is an excellent league...

The added challenge of actually managing your finances, and being rewarded a top pick for it is an added plus to this league.

It's a quiet, yet very active community with some very solid competition. The mix of real/fictional players make it interesting as well.

Come join a fun, laid back league, that'll continue to be one of the best this community has to offer.

oh, and Bumblebee Tuna!!

The UP is all but gone.

ahhh dispo, 80, 82, & 84 CEO awards. won it all in 86. What does the coming season hold for Coke in 88..........

So did BumbleBee just offer up a free can of tuna for anybody who joins up??????? Thats how I read it, talk about corporate involvement, that MAY BORDER ON TAMPERING.

but then what do we care, we aint nothing but a buch of big Fat Cat Kingpin Robber Barron Aristocrat Mogul Tycoon thieves anyway.

As you can probably tell I had nothing more to add other than Union Pacific is all but gone. & give the thread a little bumpage.

oh. and we do have these nifty team pages/blog thingys
(that nobody uses,..... but they can if somebody should ever wish to...lol)

Just wanted to jump in here and say that this league is top notch.

It was great even when I was in it awhile back. It's even better now.

If you're on the fence, jump off and in. You won't be disappointed.
