Well, to be fair scouting seems to be a manager's job because we are the ones who can callup players to see their skills, instead of having to bb-mail each owner. Its just much more faster and efficient, especially since some owners dont like to respond or share their skills.

Just sit down with NT-scout (program) for couple of hours and make a file with all potential U21 players.
And yeah, when it comes to training, there is something about MVP- HOF players that is more exciting to managers than allstar-per.allstar and thats why there is more interest.

What Damian said. It takes a few hours max. Canada with just D3 is very easy to scout. Used to be more difficult with D4 included, and community helped. Now not needed. Finding all the allstar+ players, BBmailing their managers, and keeping track of them all with training plans is probably job #2 of U21 manager outside of winning games.

man, give it a rest already.....
Nobody is whining here, it was just a statement of fact and the reasons for it were already explained.
Give it a rest, userbase is unfortunately decreasing so there is really no need to make this game less enjoyable for anyone by constant attacks. We should rather focus on keeping community tight and attracting other users.

And as for you, if you do not like how the things are run, please just let sparky do his job however he wants this season and just enter elections in next one

Wow! Back off man, there have been many disagreements on here, but let it go. It was a bit surprising to see no help offered but interest in this game is dwindling and the user base is getting pretty small in Canada.

Doesn't seem like it'll be a popular opinion but I think morwood is onto something, aside from the snide remarks. Sparky, you need to stop pointing out that there isn't involvement (and what seems to me to be expecting people to automatically be involved in the U21), and make it something folks are interested in engaging. If what is currently happening isn't working, then change your approach. I've mentioned this before, I think U21 should really engage with the newer players and work to teach new players with decent trainees how to train. It may not see success in the short term, but it will pay huge dividends to the Canadian community in the long run.

Also, Kumiko left code that would let you quickly scout all the leagues, and I remember re-posting it. I don't have time to search for it, but that may help you scout all leagues quickly if you can find it.

look,I i was trying to do was make a point.
All I want to do is get people involved in U21 and have a closer community.
These arguments waste time.
Lets start this thread again.
Anybody going to help?

In the end, it wasn't as hard to find as I thought, it took 3-5 mins; I had posted in a thread 2-3 pages back. She also had some useful checklists of what she did at the beginning of the season that may be useful. HTG, instead of writing that long post, you could have found this and helped your kid out that way.

For whoever has volunteered/is taking on the role of drafting, Kumiko ended up leaving this helpful code and instructions.

Moving forward for scouting purposes after a draft, I have asked a good friend for a script to look up multiple teams at once:

If you copy this to notepad, save as html, open

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript">
function go()
{
var url = $("#txtURL").val();
var start = parseInt($("#txtStart").val());
var end = parseInt($("#txtEnd").val());
var divFrames = $("#divFrames");
var iframe = $("<iframe>")
.css("width", "100%")
.css("height", "500px")
.css("padding-top", "20px");

divFrames.html("");
for(var x = start; x <= end; x++)
{
var newUrl = url + "/" + x + "/overview.aspx";
var iframeClone = iframe.clone().attr("src", newUrl);
divFrames.append(newUrl + "<br />");
divFrames.append(iframeClone);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
c
<br />
Page Start Number: <input id="txtStart" type="text" style="width: 50px" />
<br />
Page End Number: <input id="txtEnd" type="text" style="width: 50px" />
<br />
<input type="button" value="Go" onclick="go();" />
<br /><br />
<div id="divFrames"></div>
</body>
</html>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
when that opens:
for URL enter: http://www.buzzerbeater.com/player
then enter player# you want to start and end at
presto

so you can start at naismith and go up to iv.64 (players generated in this order)

one or a couple people could scout all newly created 18 year olds very quickly and without the massive amount of clicking you need to do to go thru team by team

As you could have
Took the time,over and over
Doesn't work for me
perhaps not as computer savvy as you
