FOOL just finished it's 17th season and we're full. No vacancies at the moment.
But we've got a new spinoff league that's a weekend league. Even faster than FOOL and it's just once a week and we do the entire season over the weekend from trades to FA to playoffs.
I would like to introduce to you to FLOP:
The FOOL League of Offseason Play.
Quote:
The league has been created with the following basic structure:
8 teams
1 division
124-game season
Custom playoffs with all 8 teams involved in a 3-round tourney
No minors
No DH
No draft
No arbitration
5 year free agency
FOOL-style development and strategy settings
Financial co-efficient of .1 (1/5th the money of FOOL)

The idea is to have very small-market baseball. I have gone over the list of United States Micropolitan Statistical Areas at Wikipedia to find a good batch of small-but-not-tiny markets, and picked out a number of candidates that covered the US fairly evenly.
You can check it out. It's a good way to meet FOOL owners, to engage in what we do and be ready for a team when we have an opening! I'm not the Commish, but one of our members is and it's extremely fun concept and we're getting off the ground now.
