Online Leagues You'd Like To Join, But They Are Always Full

kq76 · 09-23-2004, 06:01 PM

What online leagues would you like to join, but cannot because they are always full (or I guess, for other reasons too)? And why do you want to join them?

OTBL

Please?

Get in 'em all or changed my mind.

There is only one league I have ever wanted to join that has been full and that is the USBA, but for some reason I keep getting over looked for cooler people.

what makes a good league is a good commisioner who runs a league where the teams get to vote on things that might need to be changed and not have the changes forced upon them. other than that, everyone has their own preferences on different things. some people want one roster set but not the other and so on.

He is on here all the time looking for new members, but you should think twice before you sign up for this one. Another thing the commish does to try to dodge the bad publicity of the OTBL is to invite people to join a phony league called the PWBL. When someone signs up, he casually mentions that the so-called PWBL is full but there just happens to be an opening is this other league... and guess which league that is? You got it- the OTBL. Don't fall for the bait and switch.

If you don't believe me, just consider the fact that the OTBL Braves are owned by someone called "Lollyholer."

I sense a left turn coming to this thread, unless that is some inside joke I'm not aware of. Regardless, my curiosity is piqued. Who has a link to the OTBL?

Not looking for a league at the moment although could be in the future and Home Plate would be one I would look into as it as two things I look for in a league 1) A decent site not that this is a 100% way of finding a good league but I feel if the commish takes time to make a good site then he as all the intentions of the league sticking around. 2) Over 2000 posts on the message board shows that its an active league.Like I say Home Plate looks a decent enough league to put your name on the waiting list.

SO49 and CDL are the two leagues I'd like to play in sometime that I've never been in.

nobody wants to be in OTBL because it's always full. /Berra

Well, you need to get the abbreviation correct, knuckle-head. It's USBA.
Sheesh.

SoxWin · 09-23-2004, 10:36 PM

I want to join the USBA since the commish is hella sexy. He wants nothing to do with me either, and now the restraining order is making things difficult.......
