My name is Ian Jacobson and I'm a Sim Dyholic.
My friend introduced me a couple months ago and I just completed a single season league in which I won the World Series. Now I'm kicking myself because its very frustrating to have to start all over again! The only solution: get a dynasty team. However, my friend said "dynasty teams suck because they move too slow, you want a private league team." Thus, I arrive here.
As you can probably see I'm operating under the name Ianwillwin, but will be changing to "gomariners" since I figure its terrible to be so presumptuous. (But I did win)
So, if anyone has an opening in their league, please let me know. Feel free to send me an email at knightowlian@comcast.net for a near immediate response since I get the impression that opening day is nearly upon us.
Thanks,
Ian

Ian, one of the differences between dynasty and private leagues is that you're not necessarily locked into one certain time frame. You can always check this forum as openings constantly get posted here. Sometimes there will also be a link on the front page (although at the moment the dynasty teams are trying to get filled first). I don't know of any leagues with current openings but there are leagues looking for owners every month or so so you won't have to wait until next dynasty sign up but can jump right in.

You also have a choice between a private league that runs for a 10 month period for a set fee, or a subscription league that you pay for on a month to month basis. they end up costing the same in the long run, however in a subscription league such as the Orlando Cepeda League, there are openings at various times as owners move on to other ventures.

Thanks for the help. I'm glad I didn't miss the boat entirely.
So with normal private leagues, you play for 10 months and then you everything is erased and you start all over again? And with subscription leagues there is a continual turnover, so you have an expansion draft where the new people nab some of your players, but you play indefinately and never get erased and start all over?
Thanks again for the help.

Also, a lot of the time the best deals are when you become a replacement team. Then, you get the remainder of that term + the next term for the normal price of one term, but you just get a team as is.
Good luck with all of your leagues, and I'm glad that you love this game.

No, private leagues do not start over with new players after 10 (now 8 because of the new price change, look for it in "Latest News") months. Just every 8 months, it costs another term's worth of money, but you don't start all the way over. You either take over of the team as is, or you have an expansion draft with all of the newly acquired teams.Also, a lot of the time the best deals are when you become a replacement team.

In both the private leagues and subscription leagues the seasons continue. In most private leagues I have played in the new owner takes the team as is and continues with the same players. This is also true for the Orlando Cepeda League. The new owner takes over a team with the players in tact.Pages: 1
