With out first season winding down TSL is looking for some fresh faces. We have wo teams currently open, the Denver Broncos and Cincinnati Bengals. We would like 2 active sim owners ready to play on a 48 hour advance. We are in the offseason preparing to kick off our 2nd season with a draft on Wednesday, October 21st, at 9PM EST.
This is our 5th year in operation, and we use DaddyLeagues to manage our franchise. They have fully integrated stats, transactions, and many other great tools. We also use Groupme and a Facebook Group to keep things organized.
Our league page is here: http://daddyleagues.com/tsl
Please apply on our league page, preferrably in the chat at the bottom of the page. IF you have issues with our site feel free to PM me.
If you are looking for the ONE CFM to be a part of for the duration of M16, look no further...
Why should you join TSL?
Duration – Sick of leagues that die out after 3 months? Here all your decisions matter and you can plan your team based on the long-term implications. We will complete a minimum of 7 full seasons and all owners are expected to commit to that before joining. There is a madden copy raffle for owners who completed all 7 seasons. Season one of M16 will conclude with the crowning of the winner of TSL Bowl 26. Be a part of a history that will last.
Stability– We advance on time, every time. You can set your watch to our strict advance times. You will never have to wonder when your next game will be ready. We adjust our advance schedule minimally around major holidays only. Of course vacations are taken and emergencies happen, but owners are generally expected to play all their games.
Community – We have an extremely active and dedicated community that cares about making TSL great. Almost every owner who has completed a season has donated to the league funds and multiple people have donated over $100. Our community is extremely invested and committed and there are no financial expectations of new owners. This is not a pay-to-play league. Our members also play other games together, and the TSL community has expanded beyond just Madden.
Owners - Our owners uphold the highest standard of sim play and activity. If an owner is not playing sim or is not exhibiting the high level of activity we require, they are removed. We only have room for the most dedicated and sim Madden players. Gameplay – One of the most comprehensive sim rulebooks ever assembled. Re-examined at the end of every season to scrutinize every rule for possible improvements. We also instituted a no user-catch rule on offense, along with user-catch limitations on defense.
Look over the TSL16 Rulebook here: Still being edited for M16, Bolded items under debate.

Accountability – We created a comprehensive feedback system that holds owners accountable for every game. Owners rate each other on a 1-10 SimScale and results are averaged at the end of each season and posted. The person with the highest SimScore wins a copy of the next Madden and the respect of the community. Fun – At the end of the day, everyone in TSL has fun. We love to let rivalries foster and allow owners to have a war of the words before they settle it on the field. This is a league for adults who want to enjoy themselves in a competitive and brotherly environment.
Prizes – To date, TSL has awarded 25+ copies of Madden to various owners. We will be giving a minimum of 6 copies of next years madden in TSL16. We currently have over $500 in our prize-pool and that number will continue to grow. These prizes aren't just for the best players. They are for league members who demonstrate excellent sim gameplay and exceptional activity levels. This includes owners who were at the fantasy draft and completed every season.
