Oh man, thanks for the laughs, twikoff. I haven't laughed out loud in a while. You had me at 'bend over'

4 new teams!

Thor Simpson · 01-14-04, 11:02 PM

AWESOME!

Welcome to all the new folks... this game is a lot of fun and it's good to have you with us.

Tsar Chasm · 01-14-04, 11:24 PM

so what are some tips to train these clowns?

Copenhagen · 01-14-04, 11:26 PM

You'll need to invest in a trainer monkey.

Find your pitcher first.

Y2K Falcon · 01-14-04, 11:30 PM

Also, I think Mot has an "extra" team he wouldn't mind selling to the highest bidder. Maybe they could chip in a couple bucks for prize tickets in exchange for these teams.

Hopefully, the BOTR will be finished by tonight so that you all can get started on the CC tomorrow.

Here is the perfect place to start: http://www.geocities.com/smallball4852/

We will be able to help you far beyond that FAQ, but it gives an excellent explanation of how everything works. Definately plenty of info there to get you through your first week or two.

Also, on Friday there will be a free trial of the Deluxe Trainer. Make sure you save up and have a FULL PIE for Friday (Train tonight... then ONLY train your bench players tomorrow night).

You will want as much pie as you can to play around with the cooler trainer and see the true benefits.

I would offer to loan one of my teams indefinitly to one of the new guys.. because Ive currently got 5 DT teams and only train 2 of them..
but Ive got asst. trainers doing the other 3, and I told them they could keep them as long as they would like.. so Id feel bad snatching them back now...
but next time one of them backs out and returns the team.. Ill hold onto it for the next newbie.

Prakis · 01-15-04, 06:26 AM

If these skill loss problems keep up they can have my team cuz I'm about done.

Supr_65 · 01-15-04, 12:01 PM

PAGING NAPKINS.... PAGING NAPKINS....

I double clicked on Mc Neese's loss to Good Fellas can you please adjust it for me? Or do I have to submit a correct score thingy?

Thanks for your support!

And FYI I do have a few dt teams for permanemt loan or donation or whatever but most havent been trained in a while so I'm not sure what * they are at.

That correct score thingy is there for a reason

If I remember, I'll adjust it during lunch.

... and if you clicked twice and the score was wrong, submit 4 score corrections. Click 3 times? It's exponential, so be sure to send 9 corrections, not just 6.

Based on the way things currently seem to be running, I'm betting they'd be on the 8* list.

Or just click the submit score correction until your score is fixed. It makes myself, Copie and Thor feel special since we'll have a lot of e-mail in our inboxes.

Thor Simpson · 01-15-04, 03:46 PM

P.S. ONE email to correct a score IS enough.

Copenhagen · 01-15-04, 03:53 PM

I concur.

dancinns · 01-15-04, 07:22 PM

The CC is finally up. Go play your games, boys. All your CC games can be found in your Pro League schedule (league 1106). Good luck!

Tsar Chasm · 01-15-04, 08:19 PM

do I need to join a smallball.com league?

I assume you're talking about the Pro Leagues. You have to qualify to get into them but I wouldn't try to do that until your team is up to at least 7*. Their Big League is just a generic league that every single team is a part of...is basically worthless since the ranking system is :screwy:

You're all set for DTSL if you've got a team and you registered at www.dtsl.net.

If you want to join other leagues you're more than welcome to do so. Most of them can be found over at the official SmallBall forums.
