Hi, My name is Brett and I am the commissioner for the United States Baseball Association. We are fast approaching the close of Season 2. The off-season will begin next Thursday or Friday. We currently use OOTP 14. We will likely upgrade after Season 3. The inclusion of a league reputation function in OOTP 15 is critical to the structure of our league, and we're really excited to include it in our game. Bottom Line Up Front: We need ten managers to establish new clubs in the Third League of our Association. These ten managers will create their own teams and have complete control over their existence. The Third League is the least popular of the three leagues in the Association, as it is not as prestigious as the leagues above. Expect to make about $60 million a year in the Third League. I have already recruited seven managers for new franchises in the Third League. That leaves three new franchises plus Detroit and Brooklyn needed GMs. Additionally, the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Detroit Reapers are available in the Premier League. Managers wishing to take one of these two teams may change their name after a real-life month of activity. Key Features of the League: Two teams promoted and relegated each season A playoff series consisting of a 3-game play-in series, #3 seed @ #2 seed, and then a 7-game championship series @ #1 seed 108-game season, consisting of four three-game series against every other team Custom financials: you have complete control over all of your team's revenue. No cash cap, no revenue sharing. Want to save up money to take a shot at a big-time player? Go for it. Take the Northern Virginia Retrievers, for example. They made a ballsy power play for a Premier League-caliber player, spending 30% of their payroll on one player in the hopes of getting promoted. Currently, they're three games out from first with five games remaining before the season ends. A M/T/W/T/F sim schedule, with each sim consisting of 3 games Each sim consisting of a live sim, with box scores updated every 20 seconds and the sim run at anywhere from 2x to 5x speed A custom inter-league tournament played throughout the season (modelled after the FA Cup in English soccer). The Boston Patriots took down the Grafton Middies this year to take first place and $15 million in cash. A commissioner open to any and all suggestions, criticism, and change If you are interested in a new team: please post in the thread, PM me, or email me with the following: Desired team name/location - this can be anything. At the end of the post, there are preset logos for new teams, made by one of our managers, mcrubo. Feel free to use your own logos/custom logos from anywhere else (i.e. justafan's) should you want a particular logo/team. Your e-mail address - so that I may register you to our website/forums. League history: The San Diego Sea Turtles took down the inaugural season of the Premier League beating the Detroit Reapers in six games. Currently, Lexington BC has clinched a playoff spot, and has a magic number of 2 to take the first-round bye in the playoffs. Boston has also managed to secure either a second or third place finish, while Brooklyn and Atlanta battle for the final spot in the playoffs. In the Silver League, four teams battle for three spots. First place receives automatic promotion to the Premier League, and the New Amsterdam Republics stand ready to take that down with a magic number of 2. However, the Rocky Mountain Bears, the Northern Virginia Retrievers, and the Capitol District Templars are all withing 2, 3, and 4 games of first place. It will be a true battle to the finish to see which of these three excellent teams receive the second promotion to the Premier League.
