Hello my fellow D3ers here in III.6,
First off, I hope this isn't too annoying, having a person from a different league come post in your forums. But I'm sure natellio and smedlock can attest to the value of the offsite. I don't anticipate posting here too frequently, other than some sporadic updates about the NT and U21 teams, as well as notices when important USA players are about to be sold. Keeping those kind of guys trained and owned by American teams is key to our teams' success. Plus, there's the merchandise boon to consider. So, without further ado:
This thread is to try to convince you to join the offsite forum (link below) and build up our USA BuzzerBeater community. If you have never heard of the offsite forum, it is a great community with a lot of helpful tools to help you improve your team. Want to know the odds of winning your next game? Try out the Matchup Predictor tool. Want to know the optimal ticket prices for your arena? Head to the Attendance Helper Tool. We also have a training planner, advanced stats on every team, and addons for your browser.
The offsite forum currently has a few hundred members, and in the forum you can post a team diary, get the word out on a player you are selling in the transfer ads section, discuss tactics, or just talk about random stuff in the chatter box section. Need advice? There are plenty members of all levels of experience who can help you out, or you can jump in our 24/7 chatroom and ask someone there.
Finally if you have ever wanted a second team, well you already have a second and a third team: the US NT and the U21. If you are interested please come give your opinion on tactics, personnel, scouting etc for the US National and Under 21 teams. There's no better way to learn from some of the best coaches and trainers than to follow the progress of these teams. Plus it's America, and we kick ass!
There's always plenty of people needed to help out, so come join the staff, no matter how much time you can spare, or what you consider your coaching level. The U21 team has broken through and won Worlds Gold twice (and just yesterday won the Americas Gold, defeating Brazil), but the NT has yet to reach the ultimate goal and we could use all of the help we can get
