CT= Crunch Time

As for rewards, itll be much like the U21 competitions for best players created, but at a NT level. However, I would also like to develop a way to have other rewards as well to show appreciation to those that train the top players. Thats something that can be discussed on the NT offsite with everyone to see what the best way is to go about that. This is not something I can make promises about right now, but something I will work on.

For both of you if you win, would you run a twitter page?

I could see that as a very viable option to get people involved.

I don't think so. There's a lot of effort that goes into this. On top of scouting opponents and leading a tactics/gameplanning discussion, I also keep track of over 100 prospects for the NT. I participate in discussions on the offsite, help with training plans, and even help some managers with their own scouting so they can promote and keep the guy their training. I can't imagine spending any extra time on a twitter page, especially since I don't thin it'll help at all. The offsite forum is a great place to get information and updates. If someone thinks it's a good idea, they can go for it.

Here's what I'm thinking about the twitter page thing.

The idea is a good one when you think about it. Not only for the NT but also potentially to get more people signed up on BB.

I picture this twitter page being much like espn analysts on twitter. Give quick analysis of the team and games. Talk about "rumors" or who could be called up. Maybe also talk about the pipeline of players and who's rising on the pipeline and who is falling, based on Game shape issues, training, tactics, etc.

It'll be a place where people can stay up to date on the NT without looking through forums and Rosters.

The difficult thing will be getting people involved and following the twitter page. In theory I think it can be great, but if you don't have a fan base or a backing then it will fall off the map pretty quickly.

This is something that we can have a conversation about if you want or have ideas to make it better.

I would for sure follow it, too hard to learn all the NT names as just a fan. You could also use it to inform us if a NT player is for sale so that one of us could buy him instead of someone we don't want buying him and firing him or not keeping his game shape up. I'm interested to see what you do if you win.
