How do you start a private world Topic

I won't say it is completely impossible, but it is severely unlikely you will be able to do this. So many openings in current private worlds. You would need 31 other owners to commit.

I'm confident we can easily get 32 owners to commit to a newly formed league. When I posted this a couple months ago many said they would. So, assuming there are 32 owners, what's the process? I'd love to be in a league where owners haven't has so many seasons to separate themselves from the pack

Not all teams in a new world are created equally. You may get a world series contender, you may get a complete rebuild. There is honestly no advantage to starting day one in a new world, except for the "coolness" factor of saying you were the only owner. It would be nuts to start new worlds now considering the amount of contraction it took to get to this point and the amount of openings that still exist.

I did not ask for opinions on if I should I asked how to do it. So Please if you know how please post the steps here if you do not there is no need to comment.
What people are trying to tell you is that there are no steps to take aside from submitting a ticket and trying to convince admin that creating yet another world is a good idea. People were trying to be helpful by letting you know that you'll be facing an uphill battle trying to convince admin of this. I'd explain the many reasons why, but, well, it doesn't seem like you'll be grateful. So, I'll just say good luck.
+1 to this reply.

A. I can post what I want on the boards as long as I'm being respecful;
B. I would likely never join a new World due to the obvious downfalls;
C. I certainly would not join a new World when the person coordinating it is a new owner;
D. If people are just trying to help by offering their opinion, and you shut them down in the manner you just did, good luck finding 31 other owners to join your new World.

This is a good thought in theory.

In practice, however, this is far from the truth.

A. A new world usually results in many many contentious trades in the first hand full of seasons and this leads to high turnover rates;
B. The same separation of the pack happens in New worlds, but it is typically worse. The championship teams in New worlds win 115 + games a season and the bad teams win 45 games and there is a very small middle class;
C. Starting a new World or merging two worlds easily allows shady owners to use an alias and trade with their alias team to build a quick juggernaut. Established Worlds with long tenure and only a few openings each season usually allow less opportunity for things like this to happen;
D. Finally, new, merged or young worlds usually have some type of differential. In an established World, any veteran owner can forecast his team's win total and usually get very close to predicting it with a 15 game margin of error. However, in a new, merged or young World, the margin of error is much higher -- likely around 25 games. I don't know about you guys, but it frustrate the living **** out of me to think I have an 85 win team and they only win 60 games.

I apologize for coming off rude. That was not my intention but after rereading, I can see why it would be taken that way. As far as the world is concerned, what I was hoping to do is start a new world for new owners like myself so we could learn the world and the game together.

Just checked out his world chat. He already knows everything.

Your best way to learn is in an established world with veteran owners. Most of us love helping and are more than willing to give advice or insight.

+1.

Find an owner in your Worlds that has a history of success. Find out how he does it. You can do this by asking him or you can do it by learning World navigation as soon as possible. Don't take World navigation for granted, you can kearn a lot just by looking at past drafts, past IFAs, past DITRs, past trades, etc.

I've only been playing since late 2017, but I learned navigation quickly. Now I can tell you somebody's strategy in like five minutes. A new World is so different an established World.

Also, grab 20 or so similar rated players that have been playing mlb ball for ten plus seasons and throw them all in spreadsheet. Start to study each one of them and find out how their ratings are relating back to tgeir performance. This will kick start your player rating evaluation.
