Status: offline 		Guys - Just started a new Association and thought I'd post it as a template. Look for it in the coming days, maybe over the weekend. Here's the details:

- Starts in 1968
- The American Baseball Association is made up of the Continental League (larger markets) and the Great American League (smaller markets)
- 60 man rosters
- Finances are on
- There is no DH in either League
- Teams are using 5 man roatations and modern closer usage
- Each team has a custom logo
- Each team has custom player photos (this will take some time)
- Minor League Affiliates have not been given custom names
- No custom ballparks (all set to the default)

Status: offline 		Not a dumb question, but no, it's not modeled after any real leagues. I just like to pick 1968 as a starting year for my leagues since it was the year I was born. Also, if people want to create some history for their league, they can always auto-sim from 1968 to 2007...

...very nice indeed. That looks like it would be a great association to play. Good cities, good mascots, lots of fun.

Just curious though, "Portland Explorers", which Portland -- Maine or Oregon?

Status: offline 		Template is on it's way through the ether... It's a big file, about 65MB compressed, so it'll take a little while to be ready. It got bigger since I decided to go ahead and add stadiums, and include a folder of facepack images.

I'm going to start playing it myself. If anyone else tries it out, leave me some feedback!

Yeah, I got tired of the NAMBLA association for some reason.  Sorry about that!

Reason I asked on how you zipped it up is because I believe that 7-zip utility will make the file smaller. It has better compression.

LOL, yeah, I guess I take the term fictional to new heights with the stadium choices... I just like to have something interesting to look at while I'm playing...

I guess I can just picture Minute Maid Park standing back in 1968 :P

Status: offline 		ouch he didnt do to well then did he,i might have to keep a eye on him as the season goes along...

still I wonder just why I always choose the team that winds up having Mediocrity for pitching.....Is it just because the game has become so high offensive lately to where there isnt as good defense as there used to be at one time?
