The WBL Winter Meeting Committee would like to invite GM-Owner-Managers and their family and friends to the 123rd annual WBL Winter Meetings in Las Vegas, Nevada!

Never been to Las Vegas? What's kept you? Never mind - let's stop talking, and start doing! Check out the Las Vegas Sign, a gondola ride at The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian / The Palazzo, the High Roller observation wheel and more!

But that's just the beginning. Here's our list of must-do Las Vegas activities for every first time guest. First up - people watching. It may sound mundane, but with the cross-section of visitors and celebrities who come to Las Vegas, it's usually primetime entertainment. There are several terrific vantage points on the Strip, including Mon Ami Gabi at Paris Las Vegas, a French bistro with the bonus of being directly across the street from the famous Bellagio fountains. Serendipity 3 at Caesars Palace also has a great outdoor view of Las Vegas Boulevard, not to mention some tasty treats. Elevated viewing with outdoor dining is always popular at Planet Hollywood - both at Cabo Wabo Cantina and PBR Rock Bar.

Not a gambling man? Grab a friend GM and head out to explore the Mojave Desert or the Hoover Dam!

Just remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas -- unless you cheat in the WBL, in which case you will be found out and handed over to Casino goon security guards.

A joint collaboration between the Winter Committee Meeting and the WBL Commissioner's Office, the Worldtopia Baseball League and their affiliated parties will gather at the 125th annual meetings for a week filled with seminars and league and organizational meetings.

For six event-packed days, the host hotel will bring together front office personnel, trade show exhibitors and job seekers, all under one roof. Throughout the week, a number of notable events fill the agenda, including the Baseball Trade Show; the WBL Job Fair, presented by the ULG; the Banquet; the Bob Freitas Business Seminar & Workshop Series; the Awards Luncheon; and the Gala. Additionally, there will be separate GM summits for each division. Las Vegas will be hosting the new JV league GMs at their offices -- the Wynn. Commissioner Qualando will have his summit at his office -- Spearmint Rhino.

This year, the Workshop Series will feature several interesting breakout sessions such as

Ancestry.tony
He's a confusing tapestry. The world's foremost Genealogists, DNA analysists, card counters, and Sabermetricians come together to finally piece together the race and ethnicity of @TonyGin&Juice

The Fourth Wall
The Winter Meeting committee holds a panel debate on whether inviting Markus inside the sim to speak about cheat codes is possible or defies the laws of multiverse

Cybernetic Augmentation
The first examples of the ascendancy path that obviously leads to Spacetopia! Bio/genetic engineering and synth, Otto psi path IMMORTAL LEADER perk SHROUD something has anyone really been far even as decided to synth even cybernetic something more like?

Stellaris
In this workshop, fed up GMs play a space game instead of GMing

And a live screening of a new film:
ESPSim Presents: The Replacements
Two weeks into the 2068 season, the WBL's owners went on strike. For the first time in the history of professional sports in the world, replacement Ottos would take the field. "No-Names", "Has-Beens", and "Never-Would-Be's" were plucked from AI obscurity for one last chance at sim immortality. What they didn't know was that their golden ticket would become a scarlet letter.

WBL News: Winter Meetings Begin
Wednesday, December 12th, 2068
As the hot stove crackles, Worldtopia Baseball League readies for Winter Meetings. GMs across the league will network with their archrivals over the next three days in the most high-stakes game of chess they'll likely ever play. It is a time for trade proposals, free agent wooing, rumor-swatting and good ol'-fashioned deceit to the highest degree. Feel the treachery in the frosty air?

This is also a reminder for teams to set their ticket prices for next season. Prices cannot change after season tickets go on sale at the end of the Winter Meetings.

Just looking on the website, but this FA class is crap, right? Cowboy going to get paid

Is there anyway to combine the HOF sim and arb/options sim? One, this sim is kind of a waste and two, you’d probably see higher HOF voting numbers since most people export for arbs/options.

THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
Anyone want one of the following:

RP Katulsky -- been one of the best RP int he game... 5x RP of the Year in 11 seasons. 34 yo so still 2-3 good years left as a RP.
SP Castro -- making just $3.5m and a solid #5 SP or MR
MIF Mauro Moran -- good D/ good O switch hitter at the minimum
MIF Eric O'Connell -- good D/ good O RH hitter at the minimum

A v2.0 with False Bay and Cairo swapped

D but with the divisions combined works too, you could keep the Carrier and Kasib names too

All this talk about realignment over the years and no one actually wants to do it :laughing:

How is A even remotely balanced? We dump doh and get three often very good teams in UK, ND, and False Bay? Ligue du Carrier will be a bloodbath. Kasib League is Dohtie & the Blowfish

If there's a better 4 division setup I'd be open to that, I thought there'd be a riot if Dam, Dublin, and Helga weren't all in the same division tho

To me, A and B are the most intriguing and B looked better than A.

But, I also understand that I dont hold to tradition like most everyone in this league. C seems boring to me because it's more of the same.

EDIT: If no divisions is really an option, I'm in.
