Just went back to the TBB browser tab I had open and clicked on my team name on the left. I guess I timed out, because I got the login screen...in the small lefthand window. I clicked on the Towel Boy Basketball logo at the top and got the login screen in the large window on the right. If I log in, the entire site is then inside the large window.

EDIT: A personal thing: on the player screen, you have Last to go to the previous player. Shouldn't it be Prev?

Ugh. Now I have to redo my spreadsheet which is a pain and pretty much has to be done manually (after the % is changed, I didn't see a message saying it had been done?)

Any chance of having a practice screen where we could set/apply practice types to all players at once rather than having to go to each of their individual screens?

Voila. New option on the nav labeled 'training'.

I MAY replace the current 'Players' link with this one in the near future.

Just wait till the big tourney hits at the end of the season.

The great thing about the last test run of the tourney was the fact that my test team, Galesburg, won it all.

Hey- is there anyway to have perhaps a news ticker somewhere that says things like-

"3:34 Oct 17 Blah University is now participating in the Blah Conference!"


That is how bored I am, I would refresh a page like that right now.

I don't like doing auto-refresh type things except for the play by play, but maybe I can throw something like that in there. Trouble is, there's not really enough events to justify this.

Why don't you put some of the non-game activities between the games? I'd rather go game-nongame-game-nongame then game-game-nongame-nongame.

And I think we should be able to choose our own conferences. I want to be in Conference Werewolf!

I suppose it doesn't really matter where most of those things come up in the week.

No choosing conferences, wanker. And to field your earlier question about it, it's kind of hard to set up regional conferences when you have no idea where people are gonna put their teams.

Haha. I saw it said Zip Code, and that's the only Zip Code I know by heart. I already entered the University, and didn't want to change it... so yeah, Beverly Hills it is.

Wow, my first major suggestion in a game that went in place - cool! I'm looking forward to seeing my improved stats.

I was talking to LS and I see what he means on the stat screen.. when I have more time in a bit I'm going to try to explain what I think he's trying to say..
