Online League Basics?

mattlori · 06-11-2006, 05:01 PM

Is there a faq or set of rules out there to help someone set up an online league for the first time? I'm not new to the game (I've had back to OOTP5), but would like to now run an online league.

Here's what I've got so far.
- 6 players now, with the potential for getting more to sign up from the community, hopefully to fill the league.
- using MLB starting the the mid to late 1980's
- not all managers will have the game itself.
- I thought of running with majors and AAA to get used to the system.

Obvious questions are:
1. How to quickly and easily do an initial full draft?
2. How quickly to run sims?? I thought about running 2 sims a week, simming a week at a time.
3. How to best get all the info needed to all managers? through online reports? or is there other ways.
4. Setup issues. IE Should we use scouts, financials, etc

Any sites, tips, or pointers would be really appreciated!

1. How to quickly and easily do an initial full draft? I like it when initial drafts take a long time because its not rushed and you have control over your team but most differ from me
2. How quickly to run sims?? I thought about running 2 sims a week, simming a week at a time. Thats relatively slow, most sim at least thrice a week
3. How to best get all the info needed to all managers? through online reports? or is there other ways. if not all managers have thge game, online reports seem like the only option
4. Setup issues. IE Should we use scouts, financials, etc This should be decided within your league
