Thank You

Just to be clear I understand, going forward, anytime I update a player's increase in a skill to the next whole number, I also need to update every player's value in that same skill to include 100ths of a point - example 6.31.

That would be painful but work. I just make sure that the values are all there and copy and paste them from the training results section to the input section, and then make the small number of fixes that are induced because of extra/missing pops.

Excellent - Thanks for the tip.

Maker of the sheet quit playing BB. You can manually enter your trainees age to 17

I think you cant enter 17 year old the lest is 18 year.

Manually. Type it yourself :)

I have just updated the excel version. Try it! (http://www.mediafire.com/download/io8p4a743sf7mld/Trainin...)
There is no any change only the seasons.

I am new to the site and want to know the benefits of training. How often should I do it? I am happy to submit results once I get going.

Thanks,
LTJ

To answer your first question, train as you like. (Every Friday is the training update, which lets you know whether or not your players "popped" in a skill. However, to receive enough training, a player needs 48 or more minutes at a given position to train a given skill.)

For example, Player A plays 48 minutes at PG that week and Player B plays 50 minutes at SG that week. The training is set to Passing for PG. Player A will receive training, while Player B does not (because he did not play at PG). However, if the training was Jump Shot for Guards or One on One for Guards, then both players would get training.

There are many benefits of training players.

Benefits of training:
- Player can fill a specific role in your team (such as a scorer, passer, etc.)
- Save more money than if you just buying everyone
- More training = more skills = more money. Who doesn't want more money?
- Learn more aspects of the game

There are other benefits, but I think it would be better to list these simple ones for now. Good luck to you, and welcome to Buzzerbeater!
