History

For a long time League 6 was one of the most active leagues in all of Simsports. It had a number of factors in its favour. The two biggest of these being that it enjoyed being one of the last leagues to have a second league added on the same rotation and arguably the best supporting web site ever. The web site (www.vickditale.com) was hosted and primarily authored by coach bhdevault (then coach of the Spokane Generals)and was responsible for a large influx of coaches and activity from its inception (~Season 10?) until its transferral.

In season 20 coach ajhoward created a SimNBA professional league using the FastBreak Basketball (FBB) simulation engine. Each season the top graduates from L6 are transferred to this league which is still running (as of season 40) and can be found at SimNBA.

In season 24 League 15 was added on the same rotation. A substantial number of coaches (including bhdevault and the web-site) left L6 for L15. With many of the most active coaches in the game joining the new "elite" league and most not wanting another team on the same recruiting cycle it has never quite recovered to pre-season 24 activity levels.
