4) you upload your change via ftp in OOTP
5) at the determined sim time, the commish imports everyone's uploaded changes, then sims ahead x number of days (generally 7 days, but it varies).
6) lather rinse repeat back to step 1

Many leagues sim 7 days 2-4 times per real life week. But it varies from league to league. From there, it begins to become very league dependent on the rules. If interested, scan the online forum for openings or contact the commish of an interesting league and check out if there are any openings or a waiting list.

In general, it is much more challenging to face human competition in online leagues than the AI.

Hope that helps. Enjoy and I suggest giving one a try.
"send via ftp": I know this is going to be a stupid question...do I need special software for this? Or, How do I do that?

Thank you.
