CUSTOM LEAGUES KINGS – WITH JIM BAIRD

2024-04-18T13:26:00-07:00By |

If you want to play in a tried-and-true format and create your team right now, standard leagues (Classic and SSG) are open to the public 24/7.  But if you want to try something different, Custom leagues – created by customers – are there in abundance. There are franchise leagues, progression leagues, captains leagues, high and low salary cap leagues, “rags to riches” leagues, alphabet leagues, place of birth leagues … the possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Diamond Mind Online would not be the same if the Community did not include some of the most clever and prolific creators of Custom Leagues.  We’ll be featuring one of these in this space each month.  This month we’re visiting (again) with Jim (jbaird) Baird.  (Jim tells me he’s done this before … I must be losing my grip!) Tell us something about yourself: age, occupation, marital status, where you live, and interests (apart from DMO, of [...]
