SBM Network: 2010 MLB with user-driven content

Mike Lowe · 04-14-2010, 04:27 PM

Simulated Baseball Management Network

The SBM Network is now accepting applications. Teams will be given out on a first-come-first-serve basis but with a bit of "commish discretion" as well. Applying to the league MUST be done so by filling out the Membership Application on the homepage in full.

Please take part in the forum discussions in regards to rules, sim times and days, etc. I'm big on members who contribute.

When applying, please provide a list of teams you'd be interested in and place those teams in the order of interest.

Looking to start in the next few weeks I'd imagine.
----------------------------------------------------------
Teams available (updated to be accurate):
Texas Rangers

Minor league managers are welcome to join if they'd like to do so as well. Also, if/when we decide on using international leagues, any spot there would be open as well if anyone would want to do so.

After all, we are a network! :-)

I'm planning on using international leagues and feeder leagues as well once we decide the best approach.

Updated the first post with available teams. There are some teams pending as I've received an application just haven't processed them yet. Unless something drastic happens, those teams are likely claimed!

Mike, I know you way back from the NBSL days. Id love to Royals.

Mike Lowe · 05-16-2010, 10:00 AM

SBM Network is looking for a couple new members in Florida and Atlanta. We are into May of the 2010 season and are running our first draft via the draft utility.

Take a look around on the site and submit an application. If you were already on the waiting list, I apologize but my computer had some major issues and I do not currently have those emails until the computer gets back. Please submit a new application and let me know you were on the list originally (I remember the names, just don't have contact info, etc.)

Thanks!

Mike Lowe · 05-17-2010, 03:32 PM

2 teams available:

Mets

Fill out an application on the website's homepage. Thanks!

BTW, the Mets are currently on the clock for the 2010 draft!

Mike Lowe · 05-18-2010, 10:42 AM

San Francisco Giants are now available. Please fill out an application if you are interested.

Mike Lowe · 05-19-2010, 01:05 PM

had someone apply yesterday but the email was invalid.

Nevertheless, the Giants are still available. Hoping to fill that spot tonight.

ukhotstove · 05-19-2010, 02:41 PM

Very good league, I'll be honest I wasn't sold on the sim schedule at first but after just a week of the season it turned out to be a great schedule. Opens up the chance for you to either use the depth charts or the 7 day line ups, almost like playing a double header everyday and have to say it's the league that makes me feel more like a real GM.

So if you want a top league, top commish and like talking to GM's who are great to get along with then I'd give it a try.

OfficerTC · 05-23-2010, 10:02 PM

I'm definitely interested in the league but I don't really want the Giants. Not a big fan of running teams out West, for some reason it just isn't as fun for me. Is there a waiting list?

Mike Lowe · 05-24-2010, 10:15 AM

Mets are available. We are just about to June and are finished with the first round of the 2010 draft (utility).

Fill out an application if you're interested!
