In our 31st season
the CBL has switched to OOTPX and we have a few openings we'd like to fill. We've just converted to OOTPX and we're still in the off-season, right before players file for free agency so we'll bidding on free agents in the coming days. For many this is probably the most exciting time of the year as it is when you can most easily improve your club so get in on the fun and apply today.
[I'll try to post write-up(s) for the other open teams here asap.]
Probably the biggest key to winning in the CBL is to not overpay for guys. You'll quickly notice that the best teams are pretty frugal when it comes to their finances and they often let some good players just walk away if they want too much. It can be awfully tempting to pay whatever a FA wants to bring him to your team, but it's also the quickest way to dig yourself a hole from which it may take seasons to dig yourself out of. Still, there are some FAs that are well worth whatever they want, like one of the best aces in the league, but many of the players will not only take your wallet, but much of your organization's future too if you let them. Play it smart, however, and you should do well.
To apply, just PM me. You might also want to rank your top 3 team preferences, if you have any. First come will probably get first pick, but if your pick ends up already taken then this will just speed up the process.
