Cyber Net Baseball League (CNBL)
Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2014 11:24 pmCNBL - Cyber Net Baseball League
CNBL is a Strat netplay league that is seeking to start at the release of the 2015 season. Initial draft is set in late March or early April 2015. Currently CNBL is seeking sincere managers and owners to join and develop league rules and structure for the following season. This gives everyone time to study for draft, set-up the league on their machine, get familiar with netplay, for managers to develop rules and etc, and of course for the Commish(myself-ScottyDouglas) to get all league information written and posted.
CNBL does have some basic requirements of any and all who which to join.
They are:
1. You must have the updated 2015 version.
2. You must be capable to play through netplay on the Strat-o-Matic game. League Commish will help any and all getting netplay and hosting on thier machine working properly.
3. You must take on the responsibility of maintaining your team and games on your own machine and game.
4. You must draft and play within a reasonable time table with all other managers.
5. You must provide the league Commish all stats for your team every 27 games so that records, league leaders, and misc. stats are tracked.
6. You must follow all rules and league structures by league Commish and all voted on by league managers.
CNBL structure. *(Note) Not all league structures are cemented as all managers have say in the structure, rules, guidelines, and development of CNBL.
1. There must be at least 8 initial teams and if the league develops as intended then a maximum of 30 teams.
2. Each team will have a maximum 40-man roster and a 25-man active roster.
3. CNBL is a keeper league but to keep each team competitive from year to year each team will only be allowed to hold 20 players at the end of the year and all players dropped will re-enter the rookie draft the next season. This allows for weaker teams to get value pick-ups and to not allow stronger teams to stock pile talent.
4. Roster moves are unlimited.
