Rookie mistakes

This is this morning's list of leagues more than half filled. If the four single rookies in the leagues with 7 teams were merged with one of the 8-team leagues, they could start playing immediately. What a shame!

Rookie League 440985 ATG8 Rookie no DH yes $80M 8 / 12
Rookie League 441176 ATG8 Rookie no DH yes $80M 8 / 12
Rookie League 440799 ATG8 Rookie no DH yes $80M 7 / 12
Rookie League 440809 ATG8 Rookie no DH yes $80M 7 / 12
Rookie League 440987 ATG8 Rookie no DH yes $80M 7 / 12

I wish the default setting for a new manager wishing to create a team and join a league would be to place him or her in an existing league, unless they take an extra step of opting out of it. It seems almost all of these rookies were persuaded to create a new league. By so doing, they will most likely sit and sit for weeks, even months, waiting to fill. Not a great way to inspire new players to continue playing ... by never playing.

It's the same guy in all those leagues.

The league directory is in desperate need of cleaning. It is annoying to even scan to find if any leagues are of interest to me.

Rookie needs a separate section like private, PLEASE get it done SOM

There should also be an option to sort leagues, by game, cap, dh or no dh!

Would make life easier.

Amen, brother!

At the old Sporting News site you could sort leagues. You would think this would be the bare minimum, as well as easy to do.

It is a mess and I am sure it would be a super easy fix.

Also,can ANYONE explain why the default setting for Pre War is DH and post war is No DH? This was obviously a typo ten years ago that no one has bothered to fix!

On Jan 5th of this year I sent strat an email about the mess of rookie league no response...

I also recently asked them where I can find hold stats... nothing

Sad because I really love this game but they make it tougher every day
