Launching a small [8 team] OOTP21 concept league based in Finland.
The Finnish Offseason Baseball League [FOBL] is a fast-sim league where we sim an entire season in a week over two sims [with a third sim for the post-season.] The opposite week is for free agency, trades and such alike.
If you ever played in FOOL [or one of its successors] or SLOP many years ago , this is a league that'll remind you of that kind of experience.
Except many years into the future.
Fast-sim contrasts from normal OOTP leagues that sim a few days and take a month or more to run a season. We'll expect to run two seasons a month [So 24 in a calendar year] meaning that you can get through an entire generation of players over that time. But it makes rebuilds a lot faster, too!
FOBL will a static modern baseball experience in terms of settings, but it wouldn't be a DC fast-sim league without some quirks. I do not play to manage a team myself, just gonna run the league.
Here are the provisional cities for the league, like I said we've got at least 8 teams, but it might be as many as 10.
[B]EAST
Helsinki
Joensuu
Hyvinkää
Kouvola
Sotkamo
WEST
Tampere
Vimpeli
Pori
Lapua
Seinäjoki
- No coaches or scouts
- Ratings are 1-10
- Financials on with media contracts balanced
- Salary cap of $10 million
- Injuries set to very low. Suspensions are off.
- Position Player Fatigue set to High [Is reset before the playoffs]
- Personality & morale settings are turned off
- DH on, Waivers off
- Minor League roster size is set to 40.
- No arbitration
I'm still working out some of the details, but I was ready to play fast-sim again and thought this was as good a time as any. The league will start with an inaugural draft though, so you won't inherit a bad team from the start. Still other features to work out -- that's why it's a concept league -- but it should fun and low key.
I've setup a Discord channel (https://discord.gg/WJruPu), so if you're interested PM me here, or just stop in there and help me discuss the finer points or if you just want to learn more about fast-sim.
