The New League (TNL) was the first draft league to use APBA Baseball Version 5.75. TNL was created in 2012 during 5.75 beta testing, mostly as a test of the draft league functions. Not expecting it to last beyond testing, the league was given a rather simple, non-creative name. During testing, many managers ran two teams, and a few of them still do today.
After Version 5.75 was released, most of the original members decided to continue playing, so TNL continued as an ongoing draft league and has added managers who were not part of the 5.75 testing process.
