2056 Team Preview signups

Post by Dington » Wed Aug 23, 2023 1:09 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

A little weirded out that you already put me down for the Talons... especially since I was coming here to say I was going to do the Talons!

I will be very curious where you see us falling after an off-season of significant retooling.

Also, barring anything unexpected, the roster you see after tonight's sim is basically the team I'll take North. Should help you with writing it up, I hope.

I don't think it's this year but man am I looking forward to when we can really compete with you guys. The trash talk will be epic.

I'll preview Charm City, who is supposed to finish in first **34 games** ahead of us. I need to see how that works.

I assume you meant to post in the 2057 thread. http://montybrewster.net/forums/viewtop ... 77&t=47355

Maybe you'd like to do a BBA team since you just did the GBC previews for the media guide?
