Steve Kuffrey · 03-23-2002, 02:57 PM

We're not totally done yet but the site is partially completed and our draft is slated for Sunday March 24th.

<a href="http://www.ool.ootp-leagues.com/index.htm" target="_blank">Here it is!!</a>

Tiger Fan · 03-23-2002, 03:15 PM

Looks real good Steve.

Let's Go Otters!

Killebrew · 03-23-2002, 03:17 PM

Yeah, nice job, or "jorb" as Coach Z says (from the Homestar Runner comic

).

So let me get this straight -

The OOL is about to get underway?
The HTML is in the process of being completed?

The sites's got one of those creepy 'Shining' feels to it.

Seriously, the page looks great. Good job Steve and Ken.

You know not to nock any of the other leagues but by looking at the sigs of some of the users here I get the feeling the OOL Is like the MLB of Internet Leagues.

bigphesta · 03-24-2002, 04:55 AM

That is a pretty nice lookin site. Is there a waiting list or is it invite only?

hounddogs · 03-26-2002, 10:43 PM

After reading the "simple" constitution, why was it decide to not use coaches/scouts?

thanks

Cooleyvol · 03-27-2002, 05:49 AM

Im glad they decided this way, because IMO, scouts and coaches are just an added distraction for the real joy of the game--managing the games. I don't want to be bothered with signing scouts and coaches myself.

For scouts, it's a no-brainer. I don't know of a single online league that uses them - there may be some, I'm just not aware of it. With scouts, you have a choice between password protecting every team, or exposing a large exploit that defeats the purpose of using scouts in the first place. Neither one of these is an acceptable scenario.

For coaches, I'm with Cooley, I spend enough time dealing with the game's core, player management, and don't want to deal with coaches additionally. Also, player development already varies without coaches, so it isn't worth it to me to add another variable of coaches into the equation.

But your missing all the signs celebrating the Deliverance on their soon to be won OOL Championship...

joshuaaaaaa · 03-27-2002, 10:01 AM

The West Virginia Deliverance is one of the best team nicknames I've seen...Very funny!

I wanted to name a Las Vegas team the "Black Chips", however that wouldn't make sense to non-gamblers, and was open to sooooooo much abuse.
