Pro Circuit

Cooleyvol · 08-01-2004, 11:26 PM

Pro Circuit is a fictional league set to begin in 1895 (yes, I said 1895)! I set the quantifiers in OOTP6 to create fictional players with attributes of this era in baseball's history.

12 team league with no financials and a modified schedule that involves playing about 1/4 of the 126 game schedule against the other league.

We'll sim two or three (not sure yet) weekly at 15 days per sim, so we'll rip through a 126 game schedule in about a month or less.

For you oldtimers, this harkens back to the Home Town Baseball League of several years ago...........the first historical fictional ever to my knowledge.

I've used a modified name file to create the names for this league and they are 'era correct'.

In short, if you like fictionals and historicals both, this is the perfect mix. I've tested league totals (thanks to Iatric's utility) and have arrived at very good results with a Deadball Era outcome that is a bit 'more' than Deadball Era.

I'd like owners to be able to embellish this league through stories on their team and the goings on of the Circuit.

Nonetheless, if you think this would interest you, drop me an EMAIL !

Do I have to send the e-mail?

EDIT - I have dibs on the Baltimore Lords!

Actually Spleen that nickname has been changed to the one on the Owners Page.

.........and no, no email from you is needed.

Email sent regarding Birmingham Black Stockings.

Kansas City will do...quite nicely.

Jeremy Weimer · 08-02-2004, 04:55 PM

Jesse is going to get worked in the West.

satchel · 08-02-2004, 04:57 PM

This is my chance to prove my mettle against the big boys.

Jeremy Weimer · 08-02-2004, 05:20 PM

Oh yeah.

Cooleyvol · 08-02-2004, 09:12 PM

One to get it bumped up; we still need a few more owners.

TC Dale · 08-02-2004, 09:39 PM

Highly recommend trying one of Cooley's leagues. Always interesting, and even though they can't trash talk to save their lives, they are a fun league to be in

Matt from TN · 08-03-2004, 10:08 AM

Just joined... looking very much forward to this!

Cooleyvol · 08-03-2004, 03:36 PM

We need two, fellas...........

Cleveland Independents
Harrisburg Rubes

are still open, both in the East.

Come on...........being in the East, you'd get to beat up on Spleen pretty regularly!

Announcing I'm in the East and the only openings are in the East is going to kill recruiting.

Everyone knows I can't be beat.

PS When is BU going to start using the Wild Card so that I can make the playoffs?

One club left--Boston Elites are actually the last team vacant after some good advice on a potential owner from past performances.

benchwarmer · 08-03-2004, 09:28 PM

I just sent in a email regarding the Boston franchise. I dont know if it still open, but i sent one anyway!

Cooleyvol · 08-03-2004, 09:44 PM

Sorry, we're full for sure this time.

goroyals · 08-03-2004, 11:19 PM

Jeremy Weimer · 08-04-2004, 07:25 AM
