I've been getting my mentoring from the HT thread. Just now have started talking with Stogey about improving my team. I think this thread is a great idea and I'm wondering if its not something the BB staff can't formalize for new teams signing up.

Maybe being greated by a real person willing to help would spur the new user to become invested in their teams.



Definitely a good idea. Retaining manager interest was always a struggle when I was coaching / scouting England (early England--the community has definitely improved) and India. Having 1-1 communication more available for new teams is an idea I support.

ok since i finally had a little bit of free time i was able to go through and pick out the users that have volunteered for mentoring. if you're on this list and no longer want to mentor please let me know. and those of you that would still like to continue please list how many users you are mentoring. i don't want to send too many people in one user's direction.

I'm basically part-timing my original mentee (?) otherwise no one.

Effectively zero mentees for me. The one guy I've had contact with is no longer asking my guidance.

I don't know if it is kosher to draw comparisons here to Hattrick or not but I do see that a lot of the users overlap and will understand where I'm coming from on this suggestion.

One of the most helpful things I encountered in Hattrick was when I was able to follow the development of a team from Division 5 upto Divsion 3. Everything this team did was made public. The match analysis was out in the forum for all to see. Through the guidance of Havoc, The Bonham Carters (I think that's the team) were able to rise through the ranks rather quickly.

Is there any interest in doing the same type of thing here in Buzzerbeater? If so, I'd be willing to be the mentee. My team may or may not be the right team for this type of exposition as I think I've been around and might have finances/players that others just starting out don't have access to. I am, however, a n00bie in the trues sense of the word in terms of match engine comprehension.

What do you think?
