2053 Previews Sign Up

Post by Lane » Sat Nov 12, 2022 11:48 pm

Hey everyone! Remember this?

It's that time again! As always, new GMs (both BBA and GBC) 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 (Opening Day) for full credit, and until Sim 3 for any credit.

Team Preview (posted before Sim #1) 6 PP*
Team Preview (posted before Sim #2) 4 PP* + 4 PP BONUS
Division Preview 8 PP
League Preview 12 PP

*not your own team

You got it. Let me know when you're basically done making moves and I'll get on it.

Life is a bit more beautiful when time is measured by the half inning rather than the half hour.

I've got notes ready to write up my first-ever preview, for Charlotte. Do I post it as soon as today, or should we be waiting until we're closer to the start of the season? The reference to "before sim 1" has already passed, right? I'll get this up today, if that's not too ahead of schedule. Thanks.

Sim 1 equals Opening Day sim. You can post it now, but might be better to wait until Spring Training because there could still be some signing or trades between now and then.
