The Virtual Baseball League
The Virtual Baseball League & International Virtual Baseball League are currently made up of two separate but equally awesome OOTP simulation leagues. I'll provide a separate post for IVBL in a few.
The history of the VBL dates back to the mid 1990Â’s, when Front Page Sports was the simulation platform of choice. Since 2012 though, OOTP has become the foundation for our great community. Currently, both leagues have converted to OOTP 18 within the last week. While many aspects of each league differ, the one rule that will never change in any league associated with the VBL is that the Commissioner does NOT own or operate any franchise within his league. The only time a Commissioner might operate a team within his own league is if the team is left without an owner or a teamÂ’s owner is away from OOTP for an extended period of time. The two leagues are very different, below I will post everything you need to know to determine whether the VBL or IVBL are a good fit for you! VBL # of Seasons: 12 Real Time History: 2012-Present Current Timeframe: Just about to start amateur draft, then Spring Training Sim Days: Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday Sim Deadline: 7pm est Sim Length: 3 virtual days per sim in season Off-season Sim Length: 3 virtual days until new year, then 5. Teams Open: One - Maple Leaf Owner Communication: Private Email List League Website: http://thevbl.org/ League Reports: http://www.thevbl.org/vbl/reports/le..._100_home.html League Rules: http://thevbl.org/vblconstitution/ Details: Participation Reward Program: Yes Scouting: On, Normal Actual, Potential, Other Ratings: 1-100 Overall/Potential: Stars Coaching System: On (GM's are GM and Manager) Owner Goals: On DH: None Active Roster Size: 25 International Complex (New Addition): 50 Waiver Length: 9 Days DFA Period: 13 Days Disabled List: 10 Option Years?: Yes Rule 5 Draft?: Yes Draft Pick Trading: Yes Amateur Draft: March 1 Feeder League: Yes, college and high school Draft Pick Compensation: No Cash Cap: $500,000 Owner Control?: No, Entire Revenue Avail Games: 162 Schedule: Unbalanced Playoff Format: Top 2 teams per division make it, and play one another in playoffs Owner Expectations: - Remain active exporting, this includes attention to your minor leagues - Participate by submitting team press releases at the end of virtual months. We provide a template for teams to use to avoid creative excuses. You get rewards to edit young players by doing these and exporting on a regular basis. So why not? - Have fun, and don't take fake baseball TOO serious -Willingness to convert to future OOTP's as needed. We try NOT to advance with every version, but generally every other is a safe bet. Interested? Private message me with details about your OOTP experience. Being a previous online GM is not a requirement, just good to see.
