Restarting a Hobby

[EagleFan]

From 1999 until about 2003 I used to run a simleague website. Started out running a BPro 98 league and branched out to having a second BBPro 98 league (run by someone else), an OOTP historical fast sim league (run by me) and a NASCAR league (run by me) all on that site. Then added a basketball league (run by me).

Was about to start up a college BB league when things got crazy and eventually had to call it quits.

Have been thinking about it for a while and would like to start up a league again.

Will be messing around with OOTP 12 and getting used to the online tools but plan on starting up a fictional league.

League Setup (full details to follow):

Leagues: 2
Teams per League: 8

Split season
Innaugural Draft (still debating about how to run the draft)

84 game season (financials and HoF numbers adjusted accordingly)

Minors to include: AAA, AA, A


If anyone is interested please feel free to post your interest in this thread.

Sim schedule would be something like:
Monday - 5 days
Tuesday - 5 days
Wednesday - 5 days
Thursday - 5 days
Friday - 5 days

Post Season would be one day at a time and may be daily.


Should turn a season over in 2 about months.


The only thing that could interfere would be travel for work. That will be a bridge to cross when I get there, however.

Crap, having all sorts of issues trying to upload to my site.

Worked the other day but keeps timing out every day since. Won't start anything until I can be certain that I can upload successfully every time and get the timing down.

Any suggestions?

Got the posting going again but it seems to take forever and there is nothing that gives me a clue on the progress.

Is there a setting that I am missing with the game or is it a mystery when the posting ends?

I am starting to think that using FileZilla may be the better route for uploading.

Plans have changed, they have.

About to announce the league but it has shrunk to become a smaller league.


The major league will be a 12 team league with 2 6 team leagues.

Split season will be used.

96 games per season.

2 levels of minor leagues.

Interleague play.

1st playoff round is a 5 game series; championship is a 7 game series.

Normal awards are used plus one custom Player of the Year award which will be determined by a league-wide vote.

I haven't updated my team on the site yet. Pay no attention to the team names at the moment as the will change to whatever those who sign up decide.

Pioneer League

The sim schedule will remain the same. 5 days simmed each day Monday through Friday.

Changed the main page for the league. Feedback would also be appreciated if you happen to check it out.

Also, let me know if you are interested in getting a team.

bump, was hoping to grow it a little more tonight but nothing yet. Would like to start getting the league moving sometime within the next week or so but want to at least get to 8 owners (2/3).

Hoping that by next weekend we can have a schedule together for the initial draft and start of the season.
