Solonor's Groovy Computer Baseball League

Solonor · 01-31-2007, 06:21 PM

- League name: Solonor's Groovy Computer Baseball League (SGCBL), aka "Tolkien Baseball"
- League URL: http://solonor.com/baseball/
- League type: totally fictional

- Special league rules: http://rasreth.com/baseball/SGCBLRules.htm
- Number of teams: 24
- OOTP version: 2007

One of OOTP's most creative and eclectic online leagues, the SGCBL has been active since 2003 (real time). We are currently in our 2014 season.

We have an unusual mix of male and female participants of all age groups and nationalities. The oldest member is in her 50's. The youngest is a teenager. There are team owners from Australia, Japan, France, the UK, the Netherlands and Canada and U.S. states including Hawaii, Michigan, Florida, New York, Nebraska, Ohio, and more.

You can approach any owner in our league to see if they would like a GM to run things for them, too. Currently, there are a few teams that operate this way.

Check out the very active forum for more info: http://solonor.com/baseball/forum/

Solonor · 02-01-2007, 06:43 PM

Isengard has been claimed.

SMFXR01 · 02-17-2007, 04:25 PM

Do you run your league with e-mails and postings?
Or do you have Exports via FTP?

Fred

Both! We encourage everyone to buy the game, because that's the best way to manage your team. However, we do have a couple of teams managed via the web pages and e-mail.

Solonor · 02-18-2007, 08:39 AM

Numenor has been claimed.

That leaves just Carrock without an owner and Dol Guldur and Weathertop without active GM's.

Solonor · 03-26-2007, 01:53 PM

The SGCBL will be converting to OOTP 2007 this weekend--our 4 year anniversary!

Solonor · 03-27-2007, 10:00 AM

Dol Guldur has been claimed. Only the Carrock Bears remain.

Solonor · 03-27-2007, 02:42 PM

And Carrock has been claimed, now, too! There are currently no openings in the SGCBL... unless we expand...

Theonlystd · 03-27-2007, 03:23 PM

gah to slow againnnn

Solonor · 06-15-2007, 04:01 PM

Getting ready to start the 2015 season (our 13th!).

As of now, there are no openings, but there might be some in the coming days. Stay tuned!

Solonor · 06-25-2007, 02:27 PM

The Minas Tirith Titans owner is looking for a GM to run his team. He doesn't have time to run the daily operations, but he wants to continue to get the news and share in the forum chatter on occasion. We have a couple of hands-off owners like this, actually.

So, if you want to GM a team, the Titans are available.

Are you going to have a names and nations file in 2007 format? If so would it be available for public consumption?

Yes, we do. It's not very extensive, but it gets the job done. See attached.

Solonor · 07-07-2007, 01:50 PM

Gearing up for 2015. Spring Training games start Monday, July 9.

Available teams:

Carrock Bears - need an owner/GM
Wilderland Wargs - need an owner/GM
Dol Guldur Dragons - need a GM (owner is totally in name only)

Apply fast. Operators are standing by.

Solonor · 07-26-2007, 05:29 PM

Only a sim or two into the season (our 13th), and there are still teams out there looking for GM's...

In the Shire Conference:
Carrock Bears
Wilderland Wargs
And a new spot just opened up to run the Minas Tirith Titans!

In the Mordor Conference:
Dol Guldur Dragons

We're a cool group of geeks located throughout the world, and some of the GM's I've bribed to say it have called this "the best run, most fun OOTP online league ever."

Solonor · 11-02-2007, 02:08 PM

We just finished an exciting 2015 season that saw a Red Sox-like comeback from a 3-0 hole in the Shire Conference championship. After 11 frustrating seasons, the Bree Cheese won it all!

We still have openings for team owners and GM's. Get in on 2016 now!

In the Shire Conference:
Carrock Bears
Wilderland Wargs

In the Mordor Conference:
Dol Guldur Dragons
Plus, the owner of the Weathertop Witch Kings could use a GM to run his team.

Solonor · 11-05-2007, 10:43 PM

The owner/GM of the Ravenhill Darkwings has decided to take over Wilderland as a challenge. So, Wilderland is no longer available.

Ravenhill might be available, depending upon what the other owners in the league decide to do. More news on that next weekend.

Solonor · 11-11-2007, 05:50 PM

The Ravenhill Darkwings are officially available.

While the other available teams (Carrock and Dol Guldur) will be good for a GM who likes a challenge, Ravenhill is one of the top teams in the Mordor Conference. In fact, they won the Wild Card last season and made it all the way to the Conference Finals.

We are just getting ready to start the 2016 season and are sitting just prior to players declaring Free Agency. Now is the best time to grab one of these teams and shape it to your liking.

Solonor · 11-12-2007, 05:03 PM

We have several owners who do not possess a copy of the game, including some of the winningest franchises in the league. Owning the game is suggested, but not required.
