New 1929 historical league with inaugural draft

rasnell · 07-19-2008, 08:48 AM

We're early in the inaugural draft of the historical season of 1929, paced by incredible young offense.

Teams are forming now. This will be a great league for new OOTP owners who want to check out online play because we'll be patient in helping you with tips to get started.

It's also great for veterans because we're rapid simming, hoping to cover full seasons with six to eight weeks of simming.

Injuries are off, making history as fast as possible is the goal so that we do not have unnecessary delays for lots of trades and roster moves and you don't have to suffer long with a team that needs rebuilding.

Check out the league rules and click "Contact Commish" at the league home page to tell me your team, your name, email and AIM (optional). First priority goes to these e-mail responses at the home page because I might miss your posts here.

This thread is a great place to advertise new OOTP 09 leagues. Just posted today. already 48 hits, and the league is filling fast.

Here are the teams left for the 1929 historical season. We're only in Round 2 of the inaugural draft and we're going to sim quickly through history so you'll get to see the results of your GM moves rapidly as we make our own history.

Still available:
Washington Senators
Chicago White Sox
St. Louis Browns
New York Giants
Philadelphia Phillies
St. Louis Cardinals

Round 3 of inaugural draft starts tonight. Next sim is Wednesday. There's still plenty of time to shape a new 1929 historical team in the inaugural draft. This league will be very friendly to online beginners, with lots of help files posted on the forum.

This is exciting. We're only 4 GMs away from not having any AI teams. Please consider joining. Here's what's left as we enter Round 3 of the 1929 inaugural draft...Build your team from scratch:

Chicago White Sox
St. Louis Browns
New York Giants
Philadelphia Phillies

Only two more spots left (New York Giants and Chicago White Sox) and we're just starting with Round 3 of the 1929 inaugural draft. This is a very friendly league for online beginners, but we've got some veterans in here, too.
