Announcement!
The Oscar Gamble Baseball Organization (“OGBO”) has been born : http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/OGBO/
In brief :
• A DMB league that begins with the 1975 season. No DMB experience needed.
• We will advance season-by-season through time. All players will have playing-time limits about equal to their real-life playing time (except in the playoffs, and except for full-time position players).
• Minimum time commitment of about five minutes per week. Owners are not required or expected to play head-to-head but may. Generally, “home” owners will play the series against a computer-controlled visitor (or vice versa).
• Games are played in 26 blocks of six games each, every four days. (Seasons will be 156 games long). A season will last about 15 weeks plus 1-2 more for championship or playoff series.
• We are aiming to have 16 teams.
• No drafts of any kind except a short initial 6-round draft to allocate the best players fairly. Every year, rookies are assigned randomly to the teams.
• Ten key proposals to be voted on by the owners in order to help give the league some further structures.
