Creating a New League

CSFBL has many options for league creation, and we appreciate our users who want to try different experiences for building their baseball dynasties.

Public Leagues

There will always be public leagues available for each sim era to join. "Create a Team" is in the Teams dropdown in the toolbar. Follow the prompts to find the next available public leagues in each era.

Private Leagues

Before making a private league request, you must find at least 18 people who are ready and willing to join the league. Solicitations for new owners can go in the League Announcements forum or the League Announcements channel on Discord.

If you do, please provide us with the number of hitters (Its random on skills/positions) and number of pitchers to create.

    Before making a new league request

    Before making your request, solicit users who would want to join the league. Remember that all leagues require 24 teams to start; that means 24 users. Once you have a good group (we recommend at least 18) ready to join the newly proposed league, you can make your new league request.

    You can promote your league idea on the League Announcements forum and on the #league-announcements Discord channel.
