WPBL, A Unique League, Needs ONE!

[Tito]

The WPBL started in 2005 using Halofan's roster set. We are now in Spring Training in 2010.

Sims are on Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:45pm EST and Sunday nights at 9:45 pm EST.

Many things are pretty standard (Please read the RULES), but there are a few features that sets the league apart:

Venezuelan Winter League (VWL): A yearly player edit for guys 27 and under to make them mirror more closely the real MLB player. This player edit is done by a committee of owners. Ex. If Nick Swisher sucked in the roster set, he could be sent to the VWL. This ensures that potential MLB stars of tomorrow have the same shot in OOTP and also ensures that the league remains as true-to-life as possible. It adds strategy and gets owners more involved in the real minor leagues to scour the talent. The VWL invite is tradeable. DISCLAIMER: IF YOU DO NOT CARE FOR THIS CONCEPT, THIS LEAGUE IS NOT FOR YOU!

We are NOT getting fictional. We have real MLB draftees beyond 2005: I took the 2005 MLB draft and divided it into 3 even groups so that 2006, 2007 and 2008 would have real draftees (manually edited in). The best 40-60 prospects in these drafts were real. The 2009 draft consisted of the best MLB prospects not in the game and some real foreign entries. Now in 2010 (and in 2011 and 2012) we are using the real MLB 2006 draft class as our pool from which to add players.

Ability to eat contracts: You can pay a portion of a player's salary in a trade without transferring cash. A player is added called "PlayerName Salary" in the amount that you are eating. A team that agrees to pay some of his former player's contract can pay the contract off in one shot if he can afford it. Please see the rules for guidelines on this.

Other features are:

• Minimum fan interest of 50
  $105 mil salary cap is also a Payroll Expenses Cap. Teams going over pay luxury taxes.
  $50 mil cash max
  Ability to play players at other specified positions (see rules)
  BOSI
  Catobase

Also, player pics on the main page will always have their WPBL uniforms and caps. EX on the main page, Jason Kendall is not on Toronto in the MLB. My avatar as most of you know is WPBL's Edgar Renteria, who definitely is not on the Pirates in real life!

OPEN TEAM: OAKLAND A'S
