Full Season and Realistic Usage The GABL plays a 162-game
season from April to October. Players are limited to their actual usage, so
"cheap" players cant have a greater impact than they should.
No All-Star Teams Rookies are drafted from a limited number of
teams, so the talent pool in the GABL is similar to real life. Building a team is much
more realistic and managers have to work harder to get the most out of their lineups. The
true stars stand out like they should.
Strong Commitment to the Schedule Teams play one home
and one road series each week, and the league places a premium on playing promptly. There are several
off weeks each season to make sure everyone keeps on pace.
Completely Internet Based All file transfers are handled over
the Internet, and most communication is done through e-mail. This keeps costs down and is
quick and easy. Phone calls also come in handy for keeping in touch.
