"newbie" looking for a league to join

koohead · 12-12-2002, 07:39 PM

I've played OOTP for 2 years now (OOTP3 and 4), and have finally decided to try an online league. I see some openings, but don't know how you all feel about a newbie onliner joining an established league. I'll stay on top of things...that's not an issue, but I'm sure I'll have lots of questions concerning FTP'ing files back and forth and general online league rules and procedure.
If anyone has room for someone like me, let me know. Thanks!

it's real simple once you get the hang of it. if you know what you're doing within the game, you'll do fine in online leagues. in fact, you'll find that the fun you'll have with this game once you begin to participate in online leagues will go far beyond anything you've experienced so far.

See legensport's post about the GGB. He runs some very good leagues.

I'll second Darrens comment on New World, the commish is one of the best if not the best around!!!

Recte44 · 12-24-2002, 02:10 PM

I wonder how many OOTP players there are like koohead who would probably be dynamite owners but aren't sure how online leagues look upon newbies.

I think I speak for most Commish's when I say: We don't mind that you haven't played in online leagues before, as long as you're willing to be an active owner!!!!

Darren Drewitz · 12-24-2002, 03:30 PM

i agre with GBC Chairman. I know the league im in does not look down on newbies as long as they are active and have some idea how to manage a team. Even if you dont have any experience in an online league. Everyone is a newbie sometime.
