Classic Baseball Union

Basically in a nut shell, its going to be a league thats based around the forum, we want to have fun and be a small community sharing the same interest in the game and winning at fictional baseball. Writing is not required but strongly encouraged, and we won't be the type of league to throw you out the door because life gets busy and you miss a few exports. I have most of the plans laid out on the message board, rule book, etc already but there is still room to help shape the league.

-----------

Some threads of interest on the bulletin board:

League Planning Schedule: Very Tentative League Schedule

League Settings Debate: Initial League Creation Thread

What do you want from this league thread: What do I want from this league?

Email me to sign up please: jway.ootp@gmail.com, I also accept PM's, message board sign ups, and mail by carrier pigeon.

Follow us on twitter! Classic Baseball U (cbu_ootp) on Twitter

------------------------

What I'm personally looking for is people who can check a message board on a as close to at least every other day. Obviously if you're gone, busy, or whatever you can post and let everyone know, but for the most part keeping in touch will keep the league fresh and alive.

The OOTPX game is a requirement.

Check out the main page, I've already written some pretty simple articles to get things going, it should be a rocking good time.

Thanks Guys,

Jordan (JWay)

P.S. All newcomers are welcome, I am willing to work with newbies who are willing to learn and participate!

P.P.S. I am still hashing out some of the things on my to do list, but I feel like I'm prepared enough to show the world. Yay! So bare with me, and if you notice anything missing, let me know, in anyway shape or form.

P3.S. I can also be reached via AIM: mcgillikuddy, MSN: jordan.gillis@usiouxfalls.edu. I do have a softball tournament this weekend, so if I don't answer right away, just be patient

I have been playing OOTP since version 3, but I have never joined an on-line league before. If you are serious about not being bothered by rampant noobishness, then I am interested in jumping into the ring. What do I need to do to get started? (If you accept me into the league.)

Rampant noobishness sounds like fun untapped potential to me! So send me a message and we'll get started!

I like the idea of creating a small community through the league forum. That's really what I'm most interested in. I've played in league with Jordan in the past and I believe he'll do a great job as commish. Can't wait to start playing!

JWay · 06-26-2009, 01:38 PM

We're at about 7 teams in so far, and I love it. There's a few more sporting interest, and we may be hitting that 20 number instead of 16. Who knows. Keep the PM's, email's, twitters coming!

I joined up.

JWay · 06-26-2009, 08:57 PM

We are currently 11 of 16 or 11 of 20 depending how far interest continues. Please continue, we're hosting quite a few new to the online world players already, its going to be great!

WarFisch · 06-27-2009, 01:27 AM

Having a little trouble registering on the league board. The boards are taking forever to load, so it might be a connection issue.

Edit: Nevermind, got it going and signed up.

JWay · 06-27-2009, 12:31 PM

At the moment we are full at 16 teams, we are going to stick to 16 for now, when things really take off, look for expansion teams, or if you are interested, please stop by and say hi anyway and we'll be in touch if anything unforeseen happens!

Not currently, but we have two guy who are having issues (one internet, one going back to school) so if you sign up you may get a team fairly quickly.

Joshua6021 · 08-23-2009, 01:54 AM

I am a teacher with a lot of time on my hands. Like to write and am very interested in this league. I registered today and hope I can get a team!

Joshua6021 · 08-23-2009, 11:44 PM

If you have some time, could you approve me so I could get a start in the forum? I can write league articles until someone drops out or expansion takes place.

JWay · 09-03-2009, 01:05 AM

Congrats to the Orlando Orcas! First ever CBU Champions!

Imran · 09-03-2009, 06:34 AM
