Random historical debut league has two openings
The Unexpected Super Stars Baseball Conference (USSBC) is in October of its 5th season and is looking for General Managers for the South Jersey Pine Sox and the Vancouver 420. Upon joining the league, you may rebrand and/or relocate your team. USSBC is a random historical debut league. All players in the league played baseball IRL. We are currently in October of 2024, mid-draft.
South Jersey finished 77-85 this past season. They have some good starting pitching - Mark Gubicza, Ed Doheny, Jake Peavy - and a couple of star bats in Barry Bonds and Fred Snodgrass. You could take this team in any direction you wanted to. Vancouver finished 85-77. The team is solid all-around and just missed the playoffs. They boast CC Sabathia, knuckleballer Cy Falkenberg, Mike Schmidt, Jim Fogarty, Javi Baez, and Cupid Childs.
We use an ***-style draft lottery in the first round of the rookie draft. First, teams that missed the playoffs in the prior season submit their draft picks. If multiple teams pick the same player, the player is assigned to a team by lottery. This process iterates until the picks of all teams that missed the playoffs have been made; then the picks of teams that made the playoffs are made in the same manner. Rounds after the first are held as a straight draft.
Scouting is turned off. OVR and POT are turned on. Ratings scale is 20-80. Ratings over 80 is turned on. Draft pick trading is turned on. Sims are Tuesday-Friday and Sunday (except in the off-season when we do daily sims). Regular season sims cover 7 days. We use Slack to communicate. This is a relatively new league and we are always tinkering, so the league loves a GM excited to contribute and shape the league.
We are currently using OOTP 23. To join this league you must already have OOTP 23 or be willing to buy it immediately.
