Pacific Baseball Federation (PBF) seeks you!!

mikezone13 · 05-22-2018, 12:47 AM

PBF is a fictional league set in the pacific islands (think Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji etc) and we're just about to move to OOTP 19 in the next few days!!

It's a fictional league using strategy modifiers from 1960 to 1979.

We've been going for about 25 in game seasons, or about 3 years of real life. Note, I don't GM a team, so completely unbiased commish, I commish only.

The real difference maker in this league is that it's a potential ratings only league, so if you like going deep into your leagues, minors and feeders to analyse and review players as they develop then this league IS FOR YOU. If you just like to download the latest league, take a quick look over your team for injuries and export, then this league probably isn't for you.

We're a reasonably mature bunch of GMs where communication daily on slack isn't critical, but it's great to give your fellow GMs a ribbing when they underperform and choke in the playoffs

League specs below:

OOTP version: 19
Sim schedule: Every day at around 4am-7am central
Sim days: 7 days per sim in the regular season
Season length: 126 games
Ratings: 1-10 potential ratings only
League structure: 2 sub-leagues of 6 teams each, NO interleague play
DH: Yes, both leagues
Trading of draft picks: No
Financials: Free to do what you want except change ticket prices and offer contracts beyond 6 years in length
Communication: Slack channels (day-to-day), forums for rules/trades etc
StatsPlus (S+): Slack integration for real time results, drafting, awards etc. and fully hosted on statsplus
Statsab: Yes (for deep dive stats and HoF voting etc)
Minors: AAA, AA and A
Feeders: Yes, HS & COL feed into the draft
IAFAs: Yes
Writing requirement: No

League website: https://statsplus.net/pbf/home

I'm an original GM of PBF (22 seasons)

My comments regarding SBC (separate thread) hold true to this league as it is run by the same commish, but with different rules.

If you are looking for a wonderful group of mature (all ages) GM's who enjoy themselves while facing stiff competition, consider the PBF. Check out the rules and if you have any questions let me know.

Nadi Bati is now open, #1 pick in our upcoming Ammy Draft, DM me if keen

Tafuna Clippers are available and the Tonga Kings might be available.

Tafuna is a really small market challenge, but has a TONNE of cash sitting around. Tonga is a solid roster that always performs solidly (playoff contender most seasons).
