NGBL: Orlando Generals Open

pallison14 · 10-06-2004, 06:09 PM

The "Next Generation Baseball League" (NGBL) was formed under the concept of owners picking current teams and then simulating 10 years into the future to give the league a fictional feel, yet also preserving the MLB roots. Two calendar years and 8 seasons have now passed since the inception of the league and the fictional players are almost in full swing giving the league it's own unique personality. We have since expanded to 32 teams and continue to make changes (must be put to ownership vote) to improve the league. The league features an incredibly active ownership base that is serious about baseball, but also not afraid to let loose and have alot of fun.

We currently have 1 opening.

The ORLANDO GENERALS were a World Series runner-up and perrenial playoff conender before falling to neglect. The current owner traded away some of their young stars and neglected to fill some gaping holes this offseason, but they are still a stacked team. With a dominant 1-2-3 in the rotation and perhaps the best young closer in the American League, the Generals could be back in the thick of things with minimal effort. And, unlike most contenders, the Generals actually have enough minor league talent to right the ship!

LEAGUE FEATURES:

- Currently Running OOTP 6
- Heavily customized website (http://www.ngbl.net) that takes BOSI v2x to the extreme
- Marketing revenue split equally among the leagues 32 teams
- Coaches / Scouts turned to OFF.
- RFA: All players 3.5 stars or greater with minimal loyalty will be exposed to a "restricted free agency" type process. These players will be exposed to open bidding, but the current team will also be given a chance to match the winning contract. For anyone tired of leagues that don't have elite players hitting the market should find this very appealing.

Please contact me on these boards or via email [pallison14 (at) hotmail (dot) com] if you're interested.

Cheers,

I'm very sorry to hear that. How long ago did you apply? We're typically very good about getting back to interested owners, so I apologize if you got lost in the shuffle!
