Auction Style League Ready to Go

[PerfectMisnomer]

Hello all;

I run a football simulation league over at http://thenffl.net, and we are gearing up for the playoffs over there. In the meantime, a few of us have elected to start up an OOTP league, the NFBL (National Fantasy Baseball League). We will be officially starting within the next week with our website being http://thenfbl.com, but have begun to recruit now. Here's what we're about:

-Using the Rolen/Cubby roster set
-Twenty four team league. Six MLB franchises got the axe, but their players are still in the league.

-Starting the league with an auction draft. Every teams 25 man roster has been dumped into free agency, and owners will bid on the players. For instance if you really want David Wright, technically you could get him if your wallet is willing. You will bid on a player, and your bid has to last 24 hours to get that player. If a team outbids you, you have to put in a new bid to get the player. This is how a lot of fantasy football leagues are run nowadays, and it takes an extreme amount of strategy, as you can either overpay for a star, or go the moneyball route and try to find bargain barrel players.

-Each team has a 90 million dollar payroll to fill their 25 man roster. Spend wisely.
-Build and design your ballpark to modify the team you are building. Planning on buying great pitching? Build a pitchers park. With eighty one games in your ballpark, the right ballpark for your team will make a difference.
-Every team keeps their minor leagues. You are only bidding on the 25 man rosters.
-We are going with a simple constitution, to prevent owners from always trying to remember small league rules. You can find the constitution at http://www.thenfbl.com/mb/viewforum.php?f=1

If interested in joining this league, please email me at cardinalsnffl@yahoo.com I promise nothing but the best, as our NFL league is currently a huge success.

You and your friend need to check your email, and I will never accept two owners on the same IP unless I have proof you are two different people.

I'm sorry but I run an organized ship. Just having two random owners with the same IP show up on the message board does not make me feel comfortable about letting you in.

Baltimore
Minnesota

Washington
Philadelphia
Houston

I will say with the core owners we brought over, and the enthusiastic new owners, this should be a fun time. We have eleven teams open, though I'm waiting to hear on 3 new players. We will likely be starting next mid-week or whenever the complete Cubby set is done.

List has been updated, down to eight teams.

We've decided to go with 20 teams, so there are just 2 spots left. Please email me if interested, as we are going to start up early this week.
