Join the IIBL

December 1, 2011 in Announcements

The IIBL is seeking veteran and rookie owners for a handful of teams for the 2011 replay season. Founded on CompuServe in 1991 with owners from around the planet, the International Internet Baseball League is a hands-on 24-team replay league using Diamond Mind Baseball. Teams sign 12-18 players each season as keepers and fill the remaining slots on their 35-man rosters in the IIBL annual player draft. Every team has a first round pick to get a shot at young emerging big leagues stars, their remaining picks in the draft are determined by their number of signed keepers.

The competitive balance is stellar. We have very few 100-game winners in the IIBL. There have been ten different champions in the last ten years. The 2008 league champion was owned by a Diamond Mind rookie.

The IIBL draft occurs in December and January and the season typically runs from February through September.  There is usually a three or four game series sent out every four days.

Please review the IIBL Constitution and the league website. If you wish to participate or have questions about any aspect of owning or operating an IIBL franchise, complete the form below and our ownership committee will get back with you within 72 hours.

In your comments please tell us what part of the planet you call home.
