It has been a while since I had presented a dynasty and with so many new ones springing up lately, I figured I would give it a try as well. My goal with this one is to be as unique as possible and at the same time make it fun for me to present and for you as a viewer to read.

2008-2009 Baseball Premier League

18th November 2008 - 1st January 2009

The Setup

A new WS champion for the 2008 season has just been crowned and MLB executives have announced a tournament (Baseball Premier League) that will begin on the 18th of November and last until the 1st of January 2009. A total of 8 teams will be competing in the 6-week tournament.

Introduction

The league will conduct a fantasy draft to determine which players sign with which team. It should be noted that this fantasy draft applies ONLY to BPL. When spring training resumes for the 2009 season, players will return to their official teams. 8 different owners/associatons/corporations will take ownership of one of the 8 teams in BPL.

Teams

Here are the team names for the 2008-2009 BPL.

California Miners

Charleston Cougars

Greenville Spartans

Las Vegas Bandits

Louisiana Colonels

Miami Marlins

San Antonio Stallions

Washington Patriots

Draft

All players currently on a team will be released to the free agency pool. The 8 teams in BPL will be randomly ranked to determine the order of the draft pick. There will be a total of 25 rounds to fill out the MLB roster. Any team can then release one of the players from the 25-man roster and sign another player from the FA pool to fill their needs. The last team in the draft order will have the highest precedence in the waiver picks. For instance, if a team that had the 5th pick in the draft and a team that had the 7th pick in the draft were after the same player in the FA pool, the team that had the 7th pick in the draft will have precedence over the other team.

Game Venues

All BPL games will be played in one of the four following stadiums - Wrigley Field, Dodger Stadium, Coors Field, and Citizen's Bank Park.

Point System/Gameplay

A team will play the other 7 teams twice for a total of 14 games. 2 points will be awarded for a win and 1 point will be awarded for a tie game. At the end of the league stage, the scores will be added and the top 4 teams will advance to the Knockout Round. The knockout round is a semi-final stage where the number 1 ranked team will play the number 3 ranked team and the number 2 ranked team will play the number 4 ranked team. The two teams that win their respective games will advance to the Championship Round.

Here's the criteria to determine the top 4 teams that will advance to the Knockout Round.

Teams will be ranked in the following order:

1. Higher number of points

2. If equal, higher number of wins

3. If still equal, run differential

4. If still equal, result of head-to-head meeting

5. If still equal, 5-out homerun derby

A regular game will last a total of 9 innings and if the scores are still tied, a total of 2 extra innings will be played. If the scores are still tied after 11 innings, the game will be called a tie and the two teams will be awarded a point each.

League Schedule (Divisional Round)

A tentative schedule for the divisional round will be posted soon.

It will probably be at least another couple of weeks before I can complete everything to get this under way. I may just wait until the WS is over as the time frame would be close to perfect.

But I did want to throw this out there to get some opinions on the setup and if you would be interested in following something like this or not. I will start working on the uniforms soon and post screens along the way for you guys to take a look at.

And thanks for the comments BTW.

The LVB's make their return!

Do they still have that crazy, Asian owner - the one that built that awesome park by the mysterious Nevada huge body of water? :wink:

Real funny! Ha ha!

:)

Who knows RQ, it may very well could happen. I need to incorporate some storylines into this one. I initially wanted to go with 8 Negro League Teams but I really couldn't find decent pictures to create accurate uniforms for them. So decided to go with fictional team names. I tried to link the team names to the city/state that they are in.

So if any of them sound wierd, let me know, and I will change them.

Oh man.

Another redsox dynasty!

AWESOME!

Thanks bud. This one is going to be a little slow to get off the ground (with all the roster moves, creating uniforms, and all the pre-dynasty modding that needs to be done).

But once, those pending items are out of the way, presenting the games shouldn't be that time consuming at all.

Anyway, I hope to get done with at least a couple more uniforms today. Will post you guys some screens as and when I complete them.

Would like to get some opinions on this. Do y'all like it? Is there anything that you think should be added or changed? I will try and get couple more templates done over the weekend. Thanks!

Looks really good, man. I personally like that template because it looks really clean and gives a good amount of information.

Ok - I've tried to make professional looking templates like your (redsox) and JoeRudi - but how do you get all the intricate designs like the shapes and such - I can't do jack in Photoshop so I'm running to you guys haha

It's just a matter of fooling around with the different techniques and see what looks good to you. I can't really answer your question, since it's so broad.

Do you want to know anything in particular? I could help you out more that way.

Thanks. I may try and do something different with the Chicago Cubs text on the side. It just doesn't look right to me.

What I meant is not the actual detail, but how did you get the diagonal cuts and shaping right on the actual layers - I can only make squares so diagonals are foreign to me - and I've wanted to make it very dimensioned and not just blah...

I usually use the polygonal lasso tool to draw out the shape that I want to remove and I just hit delete.

Here's my last preview until I get this dynasty started. I will start previewing the uniforms that I have created for the 8 teams, and once I get the roster set up, I will begin presenting this dynasty. Let me know what you guys think about this one.

Did you make the logos or find them online - if you found them, let me know where since I've wanted to make fantasy jersies!

I just did a search for surfers logo in google and it was the second hit that came up.

That is an extremely nice looking jersey. It's eye catching but it isn't overwhelming. Good Job

Thanks man. I got 5 more to go and the dynasty will be under way.
