PBF - Pacific Baseball Federation Needs You!!

[mikezone13]

PBF is a fictional league set in the pacific islands (think Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji etc).

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

We've been going for 60+ in game seasons, or about 6 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 maybe 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 under perform and choke in the playoffs

I joined largely because I love the uniforms in this league. My team (the Black Pearls) look good! The Commissioner does a great job running this league, and it’s a fun group of GMs. With only 120 games per season and daily sims, the seasons pass at a steady, quick pace.

Bump - Port Moresby and Tonga still available.
