New OOTP14 League

[EddieK]

Hey FOOlers I am in the process of starting a new OOTP14 league which is fictional based. We will be an every day sim style league with each sim being 7 days in length. Here is the rough premise of the league and right now I'm either going with 16-20 teams if it's 16 I have one opening remaining.

16-20 fictional team based league
Inaugural Draft--through OOTP Utility
League will be simmed for 50 years from 1963-Present Time ( I do this because I like to have history behind the league)
There will be scouts being used (this is so we can use the new international complex to it's fullest)
1 import per draft year. This player will be a Hall of Famer. At this point I'm unsure he'll be added to the draft list or free agency
(Note if added to the rookie class there will be a draft lottery for the bottom 4 teams of the league) The rest will be placed by record
The CBA rules will be in effect like FOD
No trading of draft picks
Team placement will be decided by me so we have no repeat teams from FOD. However, you can decide the logo, caps and uniforms again (If you have a city preference that is not currently used in FOD that is okay and I can do that)
Using the Utility is mandatory. There will be HOF voting and there will be penalties for failing to vote.
However, there will be no mandatory writing or article writing but any input will be great.
We will be using an app for mobile devices/website called GroupMe for group chat. You can access this either through the website or by downloading the app. This will be a great way to chat with other league members and it does have the ability to private message people from there
Currently I'm debating if we require signing of drafted players or not. Since the new CBA is in effect draft picks aren't a disaster like they used to be.
As usual any rules, suggestions or ideas are always welcome and I am open to anything except the following items
DH (I hate the DH and in any of the leagues I run sims for it will not have it), No trading of draft picks (just creates a disaster)
