Semi-pro Beer League Planning Expansion!

HandyEric3 · 11-19-2023, 01:46 PM

We are only a few days away from ending the 1994 season of the Gulf Coast Semi-Pro League.
We are open to expanding by 4, 8, or 12 teams!

https://atl-01.statsplus.net/ecmlb/standings/

About the league
We sim every single day at 6am EST.
You are required to export 4 days a week.
We draft using StatsPlus.
No free agency.
Reserve-clause era financials.
We finish one full game year in about one month real time.
Season is set up to play a three game series every week on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
We sim one game week each real world day.
Sim from one Friday to the next Friday.

About the owners
6 of the 8 owners have been with the league (and it's predecessors) for over a year.
The most recent owner to join became an owner in June of this year.
So our turnover is very low and we plan to keep it that way.
Our youngest GM is 19 and our oldest is 66.
Average GM age is 36.

New Team/Owner Requirements
Must be 18 years of age. No exceptions.
Must be a US incorporated city that touches the Gulf of Mexico.
No further east than The Everglades. (Not Miami or any of the Southern Florida Keys)

How To Join
To join or get more information, please send me a private message and I will get you into the Discord server ASAP.

I got invited to this league's discord and then the commissioner asked me about my political beliefs on transgender people and claimed the OOTP forum mods support child abuse. They said I wasn't welcome in the league unless I shared their beliefs - which I did not. Just figured I'd give people a heads up since they don't mention it anywhere in their recruiting post.

False accusations. No one in the league fears transgender people (transphobia). We simply do not support provocatively dressed adults reading to small children (aka Drag Queen Story Hour). We've had transgender owners in the league. We are welcoming to transgender, gay, lesbian, and all alternative lifestyles.

We do not require anyone have any set of beliefs. We do not discuss politics. At all.

However we are against harming children. Yes, we are all guilty of that. And we do not want to associate with the depraved, troubled people who advocate for it.

Please get help.

MmmRocks, this is at least the second thread in which you've warned people about HandyEric's league. People can do their own due diligence of a league by reading a commissioner's previous threads. You don't have to warn in every thread. Like I told you about your critiques of another poster, that's enough. Move on. This is your final warning.

I don't like where this thread is going so I'm closing it.
