2055 Team Preview signups

Post by Dington » Thu May 18, 2023 4:36 pm

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 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

Since I’m going to Hawaii for the first time this summer, I think I’ll do a preview of the 2055 Hawaii Tropics.

I just have to make sure I actually get the links to show up in the forum this time.

I’m thinking about writing a team preview for my own team. Is “doing myself” allowed? Will it cause me to eventually go blind???

Just stretch it out over like 4 or 6 team news, each one focusing on a different aspect like infield, outfield, pitching, farm, etc.

More points that way :cool:

It's gotta be a different team...at least to receive credit.

I'd recommend doing it as a TN, too. Gives someone else a chance to claim your team preview so you can get another perspective.

I'm going to have some spare time today and tomorrow from the looks of it. I'll take one from each division to start, and might swoop around to get 4 more tomorrow.

Give me:
