Coalition of Baseball Nations Quickstart

[dward1]

First time I've tried to upload one so if there are problems let me know (and probably let me know how to fix them).

Coalition of Baseball Nations
-by far the most important league in the sporting universe in 2070.
-established in 2028
-made up of 28 teams across the globe, many of which used to be clubs that participated in other sports before baseball become such a global phenomenon in the early 2020s
-4 divisions of 7 teams each (all teams in universe have logos, correct cities, and correct park names, and I'd wager about 25-33% have full uniforms thanks to so many of the great community members work).
-every team must have 10 players from their home nation on their team
-78 game season, only division winners make playoffs
-nation quality is scaled according to current global performance per capita (factors in international competition quality these last 4 years plus numbers of pro players produced in the richest 16 leagues). many nations rate as excellent (Spain, England, Paraguay, Mexico, Scotland, USA, Sweden, Swiss, etc)
-market size and fan loyalty was matched roughly with city population at beginning of league and has evolved (Malmo still a brutally tiny market)
-budgets range from $70 mil (Malmo) to $220 mil (Bayern Munich).

Malmo is clearly the toughest spot to be in but the Dodgers would be a fun team to take over and take to the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. A very hard division too.

There are also 6 independent leagues underneath the CBN, all have been running since 2052 (18 years).
-most mandate 5 players from the teams nation, some mandate 10
-most draft pools are created from only teams countries (obviously you can change this if you want)
-80 to 90 game seasons
-no associations set up yet, but I plan to set a few up in coming years (N American/South American association one for sure)

Africa (4 team league)-Accra Hearts of Oak, AFC Leopards (Kenya), ASEC Mimosas (Ivory Coast), Orlando Pirates (South Africa). Pretty competitive league, with every team having at least 3 titles. budgets range from $5.2 mil to $6.1 mil.

Asia/Oceania (12 teams)-dominated by the Yakult Swallows (Tokyo) and the Beijing Ducks who have combined for 12 of the 18 titles. Shanghai Shawks also a power. Nippon Ham Fighters (JPN), Hiroshima Carp (JPN), Kolkata Knight Riders (India), Lotte Giants (S Korea), Brisbane Bandits (AUS), Canberra Cavalry (AUS), Adelaide Bite (AUS), Uni-President Lions (TAI), and Canterbury Wizards (NZL) round out the league. 5 teams have never made Asian Cup. Budgets range from $17 mil (Uni-President) to $64 mil (Yakult).

Caribbean (4)-Havana Industriales, Aguilas Cibaenas (DOM), and 2 Mexican teams Delfines de Ciudad del Carmen and Sultanes de Monterrey have been part of a competitive league. budgets range from $10.5 mil to $19 mil.

Europe (16)-teams spread throughout Europe. Galatasaray (Turkey) and Arsenal (England) have dominated. GBA Celtic (Scotland) and Olympique Lyon (France) have been the bottom feeders. budgets range from $17 mil (BC Bratislava in Slovakia) to $40 million (Arsenal).

USA and Canada (16)-the biggest independent league by far. Mets have made playoffs 16/18 years with 8 titles, Dodgers 11/18 with 3 titles. St. Louis Cardinals only team to not make playoffs. Quebec Nordiques only Canadian team to win title. lowest budgets are above $30 mil and range to $70 million (LA Lakers/Cubs/Mets).

South America (6)-Boca Juniors (ARG) and Corinthians (BRA) have each made over half the playoffs. Potros de Medellin (COL) and Club Olimpia (PAR) only made 1/18 playoffs. budgets range from $1.4 mil (Medellin) to $12.3 mil (Boca Juniors).

ask me any questions if you want to know any more
