BuzzerBeater Forums

We are still discussion the requirements we are after. But as a rough guide we would like 10+ in OD and ID and then the ability to score in outside (JS/JR) and/or inside (IS) and some rebounding. They are a interesting position and we have a couple of different builds for them this season. Once we have them sorted fully we will let people know.

As discussed with Mickyster, I am keen to start the project of developing a data list of all active Aussie Managers and then making contact with the 350 or so less well known Managers by BB mail where by I will invite them to get involved in some of our threads and forums and also make them aware of the mentors that we have available.

I am thinking that the mentors might be able to provide them, initially with a "help sheet" that has a list of resources that is available and also some of the basic concepts.

The idea of posting on all the forums wont work because apart from the fact that I would probably cop a penalty for spamming, a lot of the new Managers dont even visit there own league forums.

When I posted the congrat messages in the leagues of the current Managers, I am dissapointed to say that 3 of the Div 3 leagues that I visited didnt even have a thread started for season 24

This project will take time and in real life I have quite a bit going on.

With regards to writing up the Under 21 games, this will be hard for me as I will not have BB access when the games are on.

Gyst being that I might be best to just do a Sunday preview of upcoming games and a general overview such as additions to the team etc etc and allow someone else and or just general discussion to take care of the review of games as they occur.

I feel that the project as I have described it , is incredibly important and in time will strengthen the standard of all leagues and also help propel both of our National Teams to greater glories

Noble as that would be sending out 350 BBmails sounds like a massive waste of your time. I would rather see you continue the amazing PR work that you are currently doing. Maybe there are only 50 people reading it but it is quality material.

If we could get 50 of the 350 to be more active and give them directions on where they can get the information they need to speed up their development and by doing so increase the enjoyment they can get out of the game, then we will potentially have a 50% increase in the number of seriously active Managers.

Besides I could also record IP addresses which in itself be quite interesting and might show up a few irregulatories

and if a bunch of people break it up then it is less to do. 7 guys doing 50 each seems doable.
I'm happy to take some on.

That would be appreciated but ultimately we need to get all the information into the one spreadsheet.

Information that Im thinking of recording is;

Team name
Team ID number
Managers Name
IP address
Season when joined
Current League

How exactly does one access an IP address through this site, though?

That is a really good question

I dont have a good answer

I think that you can hit some buttons when people are on game chat and it will show an IP address

Better "post" me in the "Shonkiest Managers" thread in the Wombat Federation

How far are we realistically expected to go?

I expect Australia to be able to go deep at least semi finals given we have HCA. Anything less will be a disappointment in my books. That's all.

Does the game engine does give an advantage for home court in National games, if so how did we score so many home games?

We dont have the greatist list of players to put on court so the honeymoon period might soon be unfairly over for our Mickysters popularity.

However I guess where there is a Will (Williams), there is a way

Go Aussies

Yes, the rest of the nations will play in neutral venue in Australia. We got HCA thanks to our dearest Iwen who finished as the highest Asian team in the Consolation Tournament last season.
