			<title>VBL4: 2 Possible Spots+Waiting List</title>
			<link>http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/earlier-versions-ootp-online-leagues/190561-vbl4-2-possible-spots-waiting-list.html</link>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>The VBL4 is a branch off the large tree that is the Virtual Baseball League. Currently the VBL3 (run on FPS), VBL4 (<acronym title="Out of the Park Baseball">OOTP</acronym> 6.5) and VFL (FPS Football) are all active. <br />
 <br />
While we recognize the desire for <acronym title="Out of the Park Baseball">OOTP</acronym> 10 leagues, we prefer maintaining a rich league history. <br />
 <br />
The VBL4 began in 1980 (2005) and we are in the early stages of the off-season for the 1991 season. <br />
 <br />
I'm not the Commissioner (I am for VBL3), I'm just helping him out with promotion here but here are a few reasons why the VBL4 is for you if you enjoyed 6.5<br />
 <br />
A) Commish doesn't own a team. <br />
---- This is the basic foundation of every VBL franchise. Our Commissioner in VBL4 has never, and will never be an owner of a franchise in his own league. He is able to remain impartial. This is something that I've found to be very rare in the <acronym title="Out of the Park Baseball">OOTP</acronym> or FPS world. Never will you wonder why the Commish's team is in 1st place, or why he seems to have a leg up on free agency or anything like that. I'm sure in most cases Commissioner's are fair, but there's always that doubt in other leagues. Not here.<br />
 <br />
B) Created teams<br />
---- I'm not sure what it is about <acronym title="Out of the Park Baseball">OOTP</acronym> leagues that make Commish's force owners to keep MLB names and cities. This is a fun league, and it's meant to allow you to transform the team into your own mold. Not Brian Cashman's. My team is the Coronado Brown Boobies (actual bird in Coronado, CA) See how fun that is?<br />
 <br />
C) Active ownership<br />
---- We have last 10 seasons in the VBL4, and we haven't slowed down. The owners are very competitive, in fact in some cases there are some serious rivalries brewing. We don't have down-times in terms of owner participation. If you're looking for active trading, strong competitive league, and consistent press releases then this is a good place to look. Oh, and we have a championship trophy. <br />
 <br />
D) League History<br />
---- So many leagues out there decided to start over when <acronym title="Out of the Park Baseball">OOTP</acronym> 9 and 10 arrived. While we respect 9 and 10, the only way we'd ever convert is if it didn't effect the historical nature of our league. This isn't a game like Madden where we feel every year you just start over. You're here to build a championship and maintain your spot at the top of the mountain, not to start your franchise/progress over once a new <acronym title="Out of the Park Baseball">OOTP</acronym> comes out.<br />
 <br />
If you're interested you can visit <a href="http://www.virtualbaseball.org/vbl4" target="_blank">www.virtualbaseball.org/vbl4</a> and shoot the Commish an e-mail at <a href="mailto:bsimpson1974@windstream.net">bsimpson1974@windstream.net</a>  <br />
 <br />
I imagine any open spots will be a first come first serve basis, but if you're on the Waiting List, you will receive constant updates as to your status and will not be forgotten!<br />
 <br />
Thanks for reading.</div>

I am the commish of a league that is looking to possibly restart/make a new league because we have simply lost too many GMs over the past few seasons to make it worth running at 12-13 guys being active.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><font size="3">Alright guys,<br />
<br />
I am the commish of a league that is looking to possibly restart/make a new league because we have simply lost too many GMs over the past few seasons to make it worth running at 12-13 guys being active.<br />
<br />
So, I am probing the interest in joining a league with this roster set: </font><font size="2"><font size="3"><a href="http://www.dheis.com/Restart" target="_blank">OOTP 6 Generated Website</a><br />
Willing to entertain more recent roster sets too if anyone has a good one!<br />
<br />
<acronym title="Out of the Park Baseball">OOTP</acronym> 6.5<br />
Game not required<br />
We use forums for communications<br />
Run about 3-4 simms per week each of which are 7-10 days long depending on the league activities.<br />
<br />
I am just trying to get a feeling if we can fill this league back up to 25-30 GMs that will be active and not be like guys usually are where they join and quit 3 weeks later when their teams suck!</font><br />

We sim between 3-4 times a week with ten days per sim. We have several incentives to improve your players - writing articles, Arizona Fall League, and a casino.<br />
<br />
Currently the <a href="http://bsl.mostvaluablenetwork.com/ootp/team29.html" target="_blank">Padres</a> are open. Offensively, they feature Adrian Gonzalez and Jeff Francoeur while Mark Prior and Jeremy Hefner lead the pitching staff. Allen Harrington is one of the top closers in the league, anchoring down the Padres bullpen. Financially they are in good shape, with enough money to make a splash in the offseason.<br />
<br />
The game is required. If you are interested, contact evanatmvn or KUJyhwk11 on AIM or send me a PM here.</div>
