First, it is my understanding that scrimmages mean nothing to money or anything else other than just training minutes. Correct? If so, why do so many teams demand to only play on their home court for a scrimmage? Not that I care, I will play ever time on their court, but why do they do that?

And what is the easiest way to get a scrimmage scheduled? I have sent probably 200 scrimmage offers since yesterday. Still not have one accepted. I always send to play at their place (except for a few that I accidently hit my home court on). But it is frustrating to spend hours looking for a scrimmage. And I need them for training so I cannot go without.

If I sing up for a second team, I understand I have to pay for it. But then can I use my second team to scrimmage my main team?

Sorry, I'm just very frustrated here having to spend so much time to get a scrimmage scheduled.

Thanks in advance for any info.

I'm not sure how you can control your minutes better at home than you can on the road. Please explain?

I will admit, I have played a long time, but never really studied the specifics and fine print of the game, so maybe I am missing a lot of info I need when it comes to this.

Another reason for playing at home is so people can be online when the game is played. If they are playing someone in another country the game will be at a different time. In terms of finding a scrimmage do you go to the manage my team page? it shows teams that have been online recently without a scrimmage. It usually only takes me 5 invites max if i do it through there.

No I had not been using that feature. Thanks very much for telling me because I wasn't aware of that.

The reason why I play scrimmages only at home is to check the minutes played by my team during that week before deciding if I need to change the training. For example, playing in your home court means the game is played at 1 or 3 a.m. in my local time. Too late and usually I can't log in during the Friday morning because of real life.
Now, the only problem is with the Utopia Cup because it can't be avoided.

I guess I spend too much time here because I set my lineup for a scrimmage almost as soon as my second league game is over on Tuesday. But I will admit, I have missed training for my scrimmage a time or two by scheduling a team from another country and the game being played before I am even out of bed on Thursday. So I do fully understand what you and others are saying. Thanks for the info.
