The game is bewildering at first. In Australia we have a semi-formalised mentoring system for new teams that are interested. The only trouble is that it does require a good deal of manpower to run. There is one trick that will help in tracking new teams a lot. BB always will start from divsiion II.1 and fill that one with new players, once full it will start filling II.2, once it is full II.3, after 6 (or 7) weeks some of those new teams from II.1 will have gone bot so it is fairly easy to keep track of where the new teams will be created. I am fairly sure they also always fill be Big8 before the Great8 as well and I also theorise that they fill down in ladder order but I am far from sure on that one. So if division II.3 was the one currently being filled you could just watch that one league and every few days send a message to the new teams ofering help.

The bad news is India is down to 112 after the players recruited by the big promotion left.

Aha, thanks for the info. It'll help me see the new managers.
During the time of the promotion when there was a significant increase in the number of managers, I've sent email to many of the newbies telling them to ask me for a help if they're stuck etc and gave some advice. However, NONE of them replied...and all went to bot :S So in case of India, this promotion was a fail...not sure how other countries were though.
In a few weeks time, I think the number of active managers will drop to around 60-70. that's the number of active managers we've had before the promotion.

Don't forget a huge percentage never even log in even once and another huge percentage log in only once or twice so those guys were going to be lost anyway. My local GM told me it is less than 10% that actually make an effort to do something. So if you send out 10 BB mails and get 1 response that is an excellent return. 0 is only just below what you would expect. I often send out mails to new Aussie teams and have only ever gotten a response a couple of times.
