I would check around the different forums here at TSN and try to find a league that is asking for people to sign up. That seems to draw a little bit more fun and competition than public leagues. Either way, I would say that almost never you will be in a "sucky" league. You may have a "sucky" team, but TSN has made the SOM online game very competitive while maintaining excellent parity. There seems to be more communication and trading here, too. Just an opinion from someone who's been active on this site over the last year.
P.S. I would love to be able to take a year off from work!!

If you join an online league, you will be using Sporting News software. Games are run around 9 PM PT.
If you have changes to make to your lineups, pitchers and managing style, make them by 7 pm PT on game day in order for them to take effect.

The free trial leagues (2003 Season) probably fill slowly but the one currently filling already has 9 players.
12 are needed for a league.

Free Trial League [b:e8d57af228]51923[/b:e8d57af228] is the one you want to join. The trial leagues play 21 games (3 games/night) so they are over in 1 week. The later 200X versions have more bells and whistles as far as the interface goes, but the game is still the same. If you want to play one of the older half-price (12.50) games those leagues take anywhere from 2-4 weeks to fill.

There is no additional software you need to purchase or download in order to play the online version of Strat. The game software comes with the purchase (free trial also) I guess you could say.
You are good to go. You've drafted your team. Put it in a league. Now all you have to do is wait for the league to fill and then it's on to waivers etc...
