Spring Training begins in TWO WEEKS!* 
*SCEA has a 2 week limit before you can start a league. Jerks.
Here are the details of VSN Baseball Spring Training:
-It is comparable to the real MLB spring training, two divisions, no playoffs, nothing special, just getting ready for the season and feeling out the good players/owners. Play every other team involved once, unless the owner is a flake then you're not to be worried about that game. Try not to always play home or away to keep things fair, but not a huge concern. Easy enough, yes?
-Everybody who signed up is invited in spring training (and new people can join too), but not all owners will get into the regular season. I'm looking at 12-20 owners most likely. Tomorrow afternoon I will team draft from your lists for Spring Training. If a owner gets cut/flakes and you want his team, we'll have a phase before the regular season where guys can swap teams if they'd like.
-Since we have 24 owners on the list, that would mean 23 games. It is NOT MANDATORY to complete spring training to qualify for the league, however if you did you automatically are in.
-You will be reviewed by your attempts at playing your games (how many, how consistent throughout March you are, posting in scheduling threads) and by how you play (crying about losing, breaking any rules, quitting/pulling plug).
-SPRING TRAINING IS YOUR CHANCE TO PROVE YOU AREN'T A QUITTER. That simple. In addition we get to get used to online, decide settings with actual game feedback, test the online league mode to ensure it's better than LD, create any rules, have fun, wait for rosters and once again, ensure the best owners we can have.
I'm flexible to the duration of Spring Training, we can change it whenever, but right now I want to do this for all of March. (or until Opening Day? Opening Day Rosters?)
So once you get the game, join the VSN Spring Training league that I'll create (with more posted details) tomorrow.
I'll create two threads, one for both Grapefruit and Cactus leagues, and on nights you play to play, simply post in the threads saying what times you expect to be on. Anyone at work/school/whatever throughout the day can find out who's going to be playing at night so they know to be on if they want to play you. Really simple. Doing this will be weighted heavily when I decide who's going to play, because it's near vital to having a quality league, so I encourage you to do this often. All you need to do is visit this subforum for a minute a day to know who's on!
Any questions?
