Signing Up
OK, you've read the Introduction, FAQ, and got some questions answered on this thread by current coaches. You decide to give it a try. Why not, it's free.
Use the Sign Up link (which is pretty self explanatory) to get a userid and password. As mentioned earlier, this is a transaction, and it will be processed on the next MWF ~7:30pm. You decide to call yourself bballdeac, and your password is emailed to you.
Next, use the Request Team link to get a team. The coaches on this thread play in League 7, and I'll show you how to request a team in our league. Browse Leagues link, League 007, Standings, then check the conferences. Computer coaches are named c*<number>, and you'll be taking over a computer coached team. DeacInVermont and I are in Conference 18, and I'll let the other coaches advertise their conference.
Let's say you want the Flint team in League 7 (happens to be in Conf 18). Use the Request Team link, and fill out the form like so:
DO NOT put a city in your team name. There are two explicit warnings about doing this on the page, yet folks do it any way. Remember this is a transaction, and it will be processed on the next MWF evening. Ugh. I know.
But when it processes, the Flint Stone Vitamins will be coached by bballdeac, and everyone will think you are so clever. Other punny names used in the past are Twin Falls Hurts Twice, Helena Bonham Carters... what are some others, fellow Deac coaches? Most of us incorporate "Deacs" in our name somehow. I coach the Frankfort Deacon Blues.
