Game Needed: Preferred
Players: future hybrid real/fictional
# of Teams: 26
Export Deadlines Days And Times: MWF 5 pm ET
League Time Per Sim: 10 days
First Season: 2004
Latest Season: 2032
Special Rules & Settings: no personnel or scouting, soft cap of $80 million
Currently Available Teams: Arizona Diamondback, Baltimore Orioles, Chicago White Sox, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, Texas Rangers, Toronto Blue Jays

One of the OOTP community's longer running leagues, The RLPA, has a few openings in each of it's two leagues.

RLPA is in it's 6th year simming after starting with a group of associates brought together at Baseball Think Factory. Our website and forum is located at www.rlpa.org

RLPA Classic is an ongoing hybrid fictional league that is in it's 30th sim season. Started in OOTP 6.5 and continuing in OOTP9, the RLPA will be transitioning to OOTP11 after the 2033 season (we currently use OOTP9 through the 2033 season). RLPA Classic is a 26-team league consisting of modern franchises. We are not strictly a fictional league, however, as we use real life minor-league player names for the top 100 or so most-similar players in each of draft classes. So, some of the league's top prospects include current real-life prospects A.J. Pollock, Domonic Brown, Travis D'Arnaud, Kellen Kulbacki, Zachary Britton and Jenrry Mejia, while real-life rookies like Jason Heyward have already seen their major league careers completed. We find this to be a good way to maintain a level of realism in our league while making us aware to real-life minor leaguers. We have an $80 million soft cap and all our markets are the same size. We do NOT use personnel or scouting. We conduct ten-day sims (except in August of each season when we do 15-day sims) on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons/evenings. We lost several long-standing owners when we transitioned to OOTP9, however, there is still a very solid core of 15-20 owners.

We are looking for owners for the following franchises:

Arizona Diamondbacks (73-89 in 2032)
Baltimore Orioles (80-82 but division-winners in 2032)
Chicago White Sox (79-83)
Milwaukee Brewers (73-89 in a strong division)
Minnesota Twins (84-78, second place)
New York Mets (77-85)
Philadelphia Phillies (90-72 division winners)
Texas Rangers (89-73 wild card winners)
Toronto Blue Jays (60-102)

If you are looking for something to absorb your interest until the 2033 season, please consider becoming a founding member of our soon-to-be-drafting historical league which will begin play with the 1985 season. See our forum post at http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ml#post2952076

Hope to hear from you or see you on the RLPA forums,

I've loved the MBBA, FIBB, and GUBA, but the RLPA is the best OOTP league I've ever played in. By far.

Ha! Just found this link via Google looking for something else. The RLPA Reboot is alive and doing very well, currently up to the 1989 season and about to do the draft (Thome or Delgado?) although I think we could use three owners: OAK, CHA, and TEX are either vacant or absentee.

Anyone interested, check out http://rlpa.org or write to commish Anthony at the email above.
