Hi guys;
I have been a Commissioner of ONLINE sports sim leagues for nearly two decades. This experience allows me to guide the league with strong leadership. We run a tight ship here because, the owners that are part of the ABL commit a lot of their time to this great league. I've tried to outline most of the setup in the above chart but, if you have any additional questions please contact me. GMs that have the time to participate in this league usually do best. We do sim at a fast pace so please keep this in mind before applying for membership. We have several original GMs still part of this great league after 16 seasons! We have had a successful expansion from 24 to 28 teams as part of our 1st ever League Evolution feature. The league is in constant change in terms of adding exciting features and changes to make the OOTP online league experience a great one. We don't fear change and allow every member an equal voice in the league.
We are fortunate to have members in the league that like to have fun and not take things so seriously. We have a ton of trash talking because many of the members are personal friends outside of the game. We also have had new OOTP players join in on the fun as well and you will find a lot of help here.
We do regular LIVE broadcasts, we have a dedicated Chat room, we have regular POD-CASTs and many other exciting features that come part of the ABL OOTP online league experience including the use of SLACK. All of these features are linked at our website link given in the above listing.
If you are ready to take the plunge in one of the greatest OOTP online leagues out there please contact me and let me know why we would should consider you! Again great leagues look for great members!
