RANZBA -- the premier fast-sim team for the land down under -- has 2 teams open as we kick off 2043. The Tasmania Devils and Wellington Typhoon are both open and wanting a fresh new management team.
RANZBA is a fast-sim league. We run a full season in 2 weeks, each sim basically a month long so it is not a league for the micro-manager in you. Instead it i about seeing the bigger developmental trends play out much faster. It's the sort of league where in a month and a half of real time you can rebuild and start contending again, instead of not even getting halfway through a regular online league season.
We use a custom database I built to expand the Australia & New Zealand regions, and a custom first & last names database. Teams have 3 custom designed logos, 2 uni sets and 4 minor league teams each with a custom logo & uni. We use Stats+ and OOTP OU and have a few quirky rules because of the nature of fast-sim and the various ways the game can be abused. We try to prevent that.
RANZBA has been fast-simming for 5 real years now. We ran through 100 Season of RANZBA 1.0 and re-booted for RANZBA 2.0 (the current version) last year. An excellent core of long-time GMs who have been playing this game since the wee versions.
