Applying for: New Applicant
Reason for applying:
First/Last Name: John HeinzI'm an OOTP "lifer", having been in OOTP leagues since 2004. Predating that I was in a slew of BBPro leagues, including running a successful one for a few years. I'm a reliable exporter - I really only miss an export if I literally don't have CPU access (vacation, out of town for a weekend, etc). Always something to tweak and fiddle with!
I'm a fairly conservative GM - I'm not someone who is going to come in, take a team and hyper-transact things. I like to ease my way into leagues. I'm currently in 3 leagues, one is a Daily sim league (one sim day per real life day) and two more "traditional" leagues which are sister leagues to each other (on the same Discord server). I was in a 4th, but today the commissioner after 8 RL years of doing the gig decided to hang 'em up, putting me on the hunt for a new adventure.

What interests you about the BBA?: I like long-standing "not going anywhere" leagues - and active GMs (which by the expansions I'm figuring you have)
Describe your GM style: Answered a bit above - but conservative, not overly wheel n deal, try to make pinpointed specific moves. I also love to tinker
Have you ever answered to the alias "Al Hoot"? (a little BBA inside joke!): Not recently no

How did you hear about the BBA?: I've seen it around - and even found some articles on your forums with tips and tricks and analysis before. As mentioned above, a long time league I was in folded and I went on the hunt. Saw your post on the forums and it was a no brainer
