Applying for: New Applicant
Reason for applying:
First/Last Name: Morris RaglandExperienced with both Ootp (since 8) and contributing to a shared, fictional baseball universe. Work and other life obligations forced me to take a break from online leagues a few years ago, but I feel like I'm ready to jump back in. It doesn't look like you have any current openings, but I'll happily wait for the next vacancy, whether in BBA or UMEBA. I see some familiar names here. I hope past associations won't be held against me.
City/State/Country: Fayetteville, AR, USA
Email Address: morriragland@protonmail.com
OOTP Forums Username: Mandrake
Desired Forum Username: mragland
Date of Birth (MM/DD/YY) for in-game purposes: 02/23/2004
Occupation: Insurance Underwriter
Other OOTP Leagues (with links): None currently. Former GM of the Incheon Inchworms (WBH) and Okinawa Shisa (PEBA; http://pebabaseball.com/).
Have you read the BBA Constitution and agree to abide by its rules?: I have, and I do.
Do you own the current version of OOTP, and plan to buy all future versions?: I do.
Do you understand the Participation Point System, and agree to be a regular contributor to our community?: I do.
What interests you about the BBA?: I have enjoyed participating in online fictional leagues in the past, and this appears to be a good one. I'm eager to stretch those creative writing muscles again.
Describe your GM style: Strategic, flexible, and pragmatic. While I operate with a long-term vision for a club, I can also make things up as I go. I tend to favor sinker/slider pitchers, switch hitters, and elite infield defense.
Have you ever answered to the alias "Al Hoot"? (a little BBA inside joke!): I have not. Looks like he left an impression.
Tell us more about yourself: We've just moved into a new house and I need a break from yard work.
How did you hear about the BBA?: I first came across this league years ago when I was looking at online league constitutions (you know, for fun). I was specifically looking at how the Participation Point System worked here, and made a mental note to look into joining someday.
