2048 Preview Sign-Ups

Post by Lane » Tue Aug 24, 2021 12:50 pm

It's that time again! As always, new GMs (both BBA and UMEBA) are strongly encouraged to take a team because: 1) It's a good way to learn about the league. 2) It's a pretty easy chunk of PP.

For the new guys, these previews are not associated with the Media Guide. Instead, they get posted directly into the Forum (in this thread).

You have until before sim 1 for full credit, and until sim 3 for any credit.

Team Preview (posted on time) 6 PP*
Team Preview (posted late) 4 PP*
Division Preview 8 PP
League Preview 12 PP

*not your own team
