Here is a thread on the 200x forum that sets out advice for new online players:

Feel free to ask more questions! (Might as well use the thread linked above). I'll try to "pitch in" with answers for you as well.

By the way, if you want to make changes to your team after you submitted it, you can do that by temporarily leaving the league, making the changes, then re-entering the league. Just be careful about doing that once the Western division starts to fill, since someone could beat you to the punch and fill up the league before you get back in!

Good luck!!! :)

Hey, good to see you guys joining in. The fourth League has been created - "2012 Sweepstakes - Event 1 League 4". Please get your teams in over the next few days, so that you're in League 4 before it fills, and so that we can start this league by Friday September 28 and have its opening day Monday October 1.

By the way, the registration can now just be the one user name, and whether or not you are willing to be a filler. (I started this thread before the user names were merged into 1 on the strat website and discussion boards).

Awesome - good to have you guys in the tournament!

It's still not too late to join up, but we'll have to cut it off sometime soon. So if you're thinking about joining, register here, and get your team in!!!!

KrazyKat - make sure you put in some picks for the waiver draft! The waiver draft runs at 5PM ET 2 days after the league filled - but it should have a message telling you when the waiver draft occurs, on your "front office" page. Send a question if you want - there is a FAQ page on the players championship heading on the discussion boards, here:

Lots to digest from all the old forum posts. I have a feeling I have a lot to learn, esp. concerning ballpark selection and customizing your team for your park, and the use (or not) of platoons. The myriad options for pitcher preferences seems daunting too.

Can't wait to try a 24 team league. How in the world do you form a team with just 60M? Lots of holes I guess.

Feeling optimistic - Opening Day!
