CUBA becoming an online league?

[canadiancreed]

Hey all

I'm seeing if there's any interest in folks joining the Canadian University Baseball Association in a General Manager capacity, or in a collegiate sense, the Dean of Sports and Recreational Activities (or whatever its' called)

There's forty teams, based across Canada from British Columbia to Nova Scotia (and until 1949, even an English colony in the name of Newfoundland), so guaranteed there's probably a club near you.

I'm not looking to open it to human GM's till the 1930 season so there's a bit of time, but for anyone interested in what the details are, here's the following:

we use a 120 game schedule, going from May 1st till the middle of September, the playoffs taking until the Middle of October.

The first two teams in each division make it into the playoffs. Since that's eight our of forty teams, it's guaranteed to still be quite a challenge to get in.

Using the era's settings, so by the thirties, the surge in home run numbers should be at a healthy swing by then.

There's no trading, as your in charge of a university, trading students from one to another is kind of counter productive to their schooling, and that comes first<!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" oreferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f"> <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"/> <v:formulas> <v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"/> </v:formulas> <vath o:extrusionok="f" gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect"/> <o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="t"/> </v:shapetype><v:shape id="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" style='width:12pt; height:12pt'> <v:imagedata src="file:///C<img src="images/smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Big Grin" smilieid="4" class="inlineimg" />OCUME~1CreedLOCALS~1Tempmsohtml1\01clip_image001. gif" o:href="http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/images/smilies/smile.gif"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><!--[if !vml]--> <!--[endif]-->

Players will join at the ages of 18 or 19, and are limited to a career of four years. Don’t worry; their development is ramped up all the way so you'll see your five star rookies doing great quite quickly. Players will retire after four years in the league, so usually around 21 to 22

Financials are off (since it's a college, they don't get paid). You can see how well you’re drawing at the gate, which is always a nice plus for getting a raise<!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="_x0000_i1026" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" style='width:12pt;height:12pt'> <v:imagedata src="file:///C<img src="images/smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Big Grin" smilieid="4" class="inlineimg" />OCUME~1CreedLOCALS~1Tempmsohtml1\01clip_image002. gif" o:href="http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/images/smilies/biggrin.gif"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><!--[if !vml]--> <!--[endif]-->

You don’t draft players, instead you're given enough players to make sure that you always have thirty available (25 on the big club, five in reserve). Having a list of what you feel your team will need will help so your team won’t be stuck with say, only one catcher all year.

Also I’m debating having people add folks that they know, family members, or relatives and the like to the league to give me a bit of a personal flavour. This is of course, debatable.

<o =""></o>Since there’s a snowballs chance in hell of getting forty GM’s I’ll have the computer do the line-ups and everything for the teams that aren’t taken, with myself taking care of injuries that crop up from time to time. I wont be owning a team in this league, due to having allegations of favouritism and I’ve got the whole league to take care of (a momentous task to be sure)

So there you have it, the league site is in my signature (it's nothing fancy, but it works), and we've got CATO going since inception (a beautiful tool that is), so if there's enough interest, I’ll stat looking into getting the ball rolling for 1930. If you are interested, leave a post in this thread with your five preferred teams in order.

For anyone that is more fluent in French/Pour n'importe qui qui est plus fluent en français

Hé tous

Je vois s'il y a n'importe quel intérêt pour les gens joignant l'association canadienne de base-ball d'université dans une capacité directeur général, ou dans un sens collégial, doyen des sports et des activités récréationnelles (ou celui qu'il s'appelle)

Il y a quarante équipes, basées à travers le Canada de Colombie britannique à la Nouvelle-Écosse (et jusqu'en 1949, même une colonie anglaise au nom de Terre-Neuve), ainsi garantie il y a probablement un club près de vous.

Je ne regarde pas pour l'ouvrir aux directeurs généraux humains jusqu'à ce que la saison 1930 tellement là soit un peu de l'heure, mais pour n'importe qui intéressé à ce que sont les détails, voici le suivant:

Nous employons des 120 programmes de jeu, allant du 1er mai jusqu'au milieu de septembre, les finales prenant jusqu'au milieu d'octobre.

Les deux premières équipes dans chaque division la transforment en les finales. Depuis c'est huit sur quarante équipes, il est garanti d'être toujours tout à fait un défi à entrer.

En utilisant les arrangements d'ère, ainsi par les années '30, la montée subite dans des nombres de course de maison devrait être à une oscillation saine d'ici là.

Il n'y a aucun commerce, en tant que votre responsable d'une université, le commerce des étudiants d'un à l'autre est genre de contre- productif à leur instruire, et cela vient d'abord

Les joueurs se joindront aux âges de 18 ou de 19, et sont limités à une carrière de quatre ans. Ne vous inquiétez pas ; leur développement est construit toute la manière ainsi you'll voient vos cinq tenir le premier rôle faire de novices grand tout à fait rapidement. Les joueurs se retireront après quatre ans dans la ligue, tellement habituellement autour 21 à 22.

Les finances sont éteintes (puisque c'est une université, elles don't deviennent payées). Vous pouvez voir qu'à quel point vous dessinez à la porte, qui est toujours un plus gentil pour obtenir un augmenter

Vous ne rédigez pas des joueurs ; au lieu de cela vous êtes donné assez de joueurs pour s'assurer que vous avez toujours trente disponibles (25 sur le grand club, cinq dans la réservation). Avoir une liste de ce que jugez vous que votre équipe aura besoin aidera ainsi votre équipe ne sera pas coincé avec la parole, seulement un gant de baseball toute l'année.

En outre je discute ayant des personnes ajoute les gens qu'ils connaissent, les membres de famille, ou les parents et les semblables à la ligue pour me donner un peu une saveur personnelle. C'est, naturellement, discutable.

Puisqu'il y a des boules de neige risquent dans l'enfer d'obtenir quarante directeurs généraux, j'aurai l'ordinateur fais les lignes et tout pour les équipes qui ne sont pas prises, avec me prenant soin des dommages qui surviennent de temps en temps. Je ne posséderai pas une équipe dans cette ligue, due à avoir des allégations du favoritisme et j'ai la ligue entière pour prendre soin de (un important charge d'être sûr).

Donc là vous l'avez, l'emplacement de ligue est dans ma signature (il n'est rien fantaisie, mais cela fonctionne), et we've a obtenu CATO allant puisque commencement (un bel outil qui est), ainsi si there's assez d'intérêt, je statut de volonté examinant obtenir le roulement de boule pour 1930. Si vous êtes intéressé, laissez un poteau en ce fil avec vos cinq équipes préférées dans l'ordre.

Une note additionnelle ; pour chacun qui est fluent en français, soyez conseillé svp que je suis loin d'être à l'aise en français comme vous pouvez dire de ma mauvaise traduction. Par conséquent je recommanderais pour n'importe quelle correspondance d'être en anglais pour une réponse plus rapide, et moins de malentendu. Merci.

IMO, 40 teams is way too many for an online league. There will be a revolving door of owners.

Some good ideas there though, good luck with it.

[rem]

I may have missed something, but if money is off, trading is off, and drafting is off....what excatly are owners supposed to do?

Yeah I missed that -- So all the owners do is submit lineups? Is there is no way to improve your team?

Try to get the most out of what they have, a la say.....the 50 Whiz Kids or the 69 Mets. The strongest isnt nessessarily the one that's going to win.

As for the revoling door, i'm not after forty guys, that's just not realistic. But if anyone is intrested like say, 10 or so, then the rest woudl be filled in by the computer, whic is what is being done right now

well there's spring training, and trying to get the most out of the team that you have via the team strageties section (i've found its' bought me a few victories a season in other leagues).

See the FOBL..........not quite 40, but very close.

[canadiancreed]

the question is, is it successful or does it have a revolving door of owners

[Pancho Chavez]

I might be interested although i am probably more interested in a league with trades allowed

[Delgadodawg]

Yes, it can be done, but the FOBL is heads and shoulders above most maybe all leagues. For every one FOBL there is probably 10-15 leagues who would fail.

FOBL is very succesful, owners rarely leave.

[canadiancreed]

fair enough. I take it they have all slots filled, no com GM's and such

and I extrmely doubt I coudl match that success, but hey why not try

As you can see from the owners page, openings are quite rare.

If you had unlimited access to wholesale horse-grade tranquilizers and almost hourly responsibility-free sex with middle-aged groupies and aspiring plus-sized models you'd stay put as well.

FOBL - Filled to capacity, but morally vacant!

[goroyals]

I really like the base concept you have creed, I'd love to be in a college league... but it doesn't seem like a college league to me without recruiting. If you had any kind of system in place where you could recruit blue chippers to your school I'd join just like that.

I know that would likely be a huge load of work, but IMO you need some kind of way for GMs, or ADs in this place, to bring new talent onto their squads.

Maybe try something where teams accumulate points during the season based on prestige, record, size, etc. and then they spend those points in the offseason on recruiting?

Good Points. I always forget about those!
