Oerth Professional Basketball League (896 CY)

I have been running a solo basketball league based on the Pen and Paper Football rules by John Stater. They're simple rules, but ones that work well when I'm running a larger league. At present the Oerth Professionally Basketball League (OPBL) is starting its sixth season, with 20 teams playing 72 games each. As you might imagine I have some rather complicated spreadsheets to support it, but the rules are not that complicated 

Some of you may also notice it's the Oerth Professional Basketball League.  Yes, sport has come to the world of Greyhawk.  I already have a Soccer and Hockey League (both based on free Footy rules) while Football (college and an abortive pro effort) use the aforementioned Pen and Paper, which is worth the $2.  

At the dusk of the 895-896 Season Hardby capped off a dominant season with a victory over the Port Redoubt in the final game of the five game series.  The new season brings new opportunities, with some teams looking to reclaim lost glory while the new franchises seek to assert themselves. 

Hopefully more to come
