Can you win at Coors Field?

Around the Horn is a MLB simulation that started in March 2003, and we are currently starting our seventh season (2009).

http://www.ath.ootp-online.com

After a rocky start which is pretty standard for MLB simulations we have currently reached a stage where we have those type of owners that have are not only concerned with winning and having A-Rod on their team, but in the development of our league as well.

We switched to v6 last season, and after one year of tweaking we just enabled all financial options (waivers etc.)

In terms of development, we have certain features and tools that are already implemented and used. These include:

- B.O.S.I. v2
- Export Tracker
- CATO History
- Voting on Allstars and End of Season awards
- An informative, intuitive and clean website
- A solid set of rules
- Explicit financial rules that enhance parity and equal chances for all
- Stickware Scheduler
- A Ballpark section
- Different size of league files available for download
- An organized and clean messageboard
- Integrated Coranto
- A steady amount of articles
- 3x weekly live sims via AIM

You can find our website here: http://www.ath.ootp-leagues.com
And our constitution: http://www.ath.ootp-leagues.com/constitution.html

Our future plans for development and new tools include:

- Relocation
- Stadium renovations
- Foreign players import
- and more...

As you can see we have developed quiet nicely over the last 18 months of our existance, and plan to build on that.

We currently have the Colorado Rockies available, a perennial middle of the road team. After losing some good players to Free Agency this offseason, it seems that the Rockies are in rebuilding mode.

We are newbie friendly and don't have those owners that instantly want to trade with new owners when they come in.

If you are interested in owning the Rockies, please get in touch with the commissioner per email:

Marlins taken...

no-one wants a Coors challenge?

Matteo · 09-28-2004, 10:20 AM

Rockies are still without a GM!

Contact me matteo@elbb.com if you are indeed interested.

They are a challenge though
