Reposting to a more active forum....
I recently received some good-natured ribbing (I'm fairly certain it was good-natured
) for my league participation in one of my online leagues. It made me think about the fact that I tend to pay a lot of attention to my own team, but my knowledge of league-wide activities is usually lacking. This goes for solo leagues as well as online. Anyway, I posted in the league forum about this, and I figured I would open it up to discussion amongst the community...
What do you do to keep in touch with what is going on in your leagues, aside from the intimate knowledge you have concerning your own team? Can you contribute any tips or suggestions regarding good ways to sift through the mountain of info provided in a league file and synthesize it into a coherent understanding of what the league is all about? Are there some good pages to view, some pages that don't offer much info, despite being large and unwieldy?
My commish made a great comment: each team's financial history report will give you a year-by-year account of the teams record, without having to scroll through the league history or team history page. Very handy.
What is your MO when it comes to surveying a league file and formulating a general knowledge of what is happening in your league?
