Neil Leininger emailed me to let me know that he and Brian Hamilton are gearing to bring up a new APBA baseball league using the Basic Game. The league is called the Roy Hobbs Baseball Association and currently there’s room for managers!!
If you take a look at the proposed constitution of the RHBA, you can tell Neil has done his homework. All details have been attended to. The RHBA will have in-season trading, player contracts, free agency. The new league will also be using APBA’s new pitching fatigue charts (which some leagues have been slow to adopt).
If you are an APBA league member, read through the RHBA constitution even if you aren’t looking for another league. It may give you some good ideas to implement in your current one.
Neil hopes that games will be played mostly using cards and dice (though BBW will be allowed by consent by both managers. Remote games will be played either by Skype or via the online dice roller rolz.org.
If you are interested in the Roy Hobbs Baseball Association, leave a comment and I can put you in touch with Neil. Good luck to the new league!!
I’d be interested. I’m a cards and dice guy, but this sounds like a great deal of fun.
