    Very interested in online franchise and can't wait for it to come out.

    1. Are you still interested in the league?


    Yes

    2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams?

    14 to 18 team league with cpu teams. Could be hard to get games scheduled with 30 teams


    3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other?

    Thought about this and really I think 30 to 40 is best. If your stuck down in the standings with 20 games left it could get hard to get the motivation, for some, to keep playing. So 30 or 40 is best in my opinion. This would take like 10 to 15 weeks to play out. Then have the playoffs which would take a couple more weeks.

    4. Please list your top 5 teams?


    Thought about this and decided I shouldn't be so hard to deal with. So I won't have 1-5 be the St. Louis Cardinals. Even though I want to play with them very badly.


    1. St. Louis Cardinals
    2. San Francisco Giants

    3. California of Anaheim near Los Angeles Angels
    4. Chicago White Sox
    5.Texas Rangers

    5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10)

    10!

    1. Are you still interested in the league? Yeap

    2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams?


    Full 30 user league would be awesome, small league wouldn't be a killer though

    3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other?


    81 games would be awesome!


    4. Please list your top 5 teams?


    1.Yankees
    2.Giants
    3.Angels
    4.A's
    5.Marlins

    Just curious but with the number of applicants up to 48, Was or is there a consideration of having 3, 16-18 user leagues? Just curious. Three leagues would pretty much guarantee guys would get their first or second team choice.

    Yes

    2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams?

    I would want a smaller league, playing CPU games should be just as fun and full user league will be too much of a scheduling commitment.

    3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other?

    Tough one here... But I would say 81. Especially if its only a 14ish team league

    4. Please list your top 5 teams?

    1. Tigers
    2. Cubs
    3. Marlins
    4. Angels
    5. Reds


    5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10)

    8 ( I'd love the Tigers but it's not a deal breaker)

    Would the leagues wait for the OSFM Rosters to come out for there will be complete minor league systems?

    Definitely interested in being added to the list. I'd like to get in on a league.

    1. Are you still interested in the league? Yes, very much.

    2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? I'd do either, but I prefer the full 30 man league.

    3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other? I'd say probably 30 or 81. I think that 162 may be a little unrealistic for some to follow through with.

    4. Please list your top 5 teams?

    1. Yankees
    2-5. Doesn't matter. I'll play with the Visalia Oaks if I have to.


    5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10)

    1. It really doesn't matter.

    We discussed that a little this weekend. It's very possible that we would want to wait for the OSFM rosters depending on how accurate the default rosters are. However, we've come up with ways in the past to at least to get the leagues moving and active while waiting for the rosters. So we may do something like that this time.

    1. Are you still interested in the league?

    I totally didn't see this before because I wasn't tagged, but duh.


    2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams?

    I'd do either but would prefer a 14-18 person league.


    3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other?

    I suppose it depends on the scheduling options when the game actually drops, but either 30 or 81 is way more manageable than 162.


    4. Please list your top 5 teams?

    1. Baltimore
    2. Houston
    3. Seattle
    4. Miami
    5. KC

    9. I'd still probably play if I didn't get Baltimore, but I'd really prefer to have them.

    Agree with Blackattack87, I realize it is your league and you have the right to do what you want but a league of 30 players seems as if it would be a scheduling nightmare. Any league I have played in has always had games be postponed and made up at a later time due to players not being available. This was based on a 20 game schedule. Can't imagine how many postponed games there would be with 30 users playing a 81 game season.

    Hope you don't mind me posting this here but I know there are baseball fans in here. I'm in a fantasy league ran through Yahoo and we need one more player to feel out our league. It is a free league and a regular draft setup playing head to head each week. If you are interested I just need your email to have my brother send invite. Thanks!

    After carefully looking over every application, here are the formats that we (HAL9100, Emmdotfrisk BobJr, Shaun Mason, I Peench) feel will work best for the site. Please understand that with 47 applications, it is a near impossible task for everyone to get will exactly what they want. Nevertheless, here is out best attempt -
    League A
    30 games
    18+ users
    Play all games (CPU and User)
    Hal = Commish


    Roster

    upload_2014-3-30_20-2-8.png

    League B
    162 games
    12+ users
    Play Apr, May and Sept -- Sim Jun - Aug (CPU games can be quick pitch)
    Ry = Commish


    Roster


    upload_2014-3-30_13-3-44.png

    League C
    81 games
    18+ users
    Play all games (CPU games can be quick pitch)

    Ipeench/Ry = Commish

    Roster

    upload_2014-3-29_18-11-14.png

    • Now besides the league formats, none of this is final. If you aren't happy with your league and would like us to consider moving you, please send me a PM.
    • All three leagues will wait for OS Full Minors rosters before start. Fortunately, with OS working on rosters right when the PS3 version drops, we shouldn't have to wait long.
    • If you are one of the users that has an ample amount of free time (i.e. you are a fireman) and would like to play in two leagues, please let us know.
    • If you know of anyone else that would like to play, recruit them!
    That is all for now!
