Hello,
We now have over 200 active managers (203 to be precise). This is fantastic. Although the majority of the managers quit after a few days, I'm sure some of them will decide to play this game and contribute to India!!! Keep it up India!

We must be well down into Div. III now. I think that only 5 will stick on my League though.

When I look at some of the other countries and see how strong their div. III and IV are, I wish that I had started our in div. IV with some space to grow slowly.

Starting in a higher division is always better, whether you lose all the games or not. The reason is because although you'll probably lose all the matches, there's higher TV contracts, merchandise and your arena will be filled for each home game (usually, given that the arena is quite small). So you have higher income than lower divisions, PLUS you'll probably get the first pick on the draft, as you'll probably come last. So there are more benefits when you're in higher division even if it means that you'll lose every game.

Hello here!

When you know the game, it's better to start in the highest division possible. But when you are new, I think it's preferable to start in a lowest one. Because when a new member keeps on loosing game after games, he'll get discouraged and quite the game soon or later =S.

That's true. Well for me I wasn't discouraged at all because I knew I couldn't win the games at first anyways. I guess it also depends on how much effort one's willing to give.

I got lucky and won 8 games in a row last season, most by 2 or 3 points. Now, I'm winning by 30 or 40 so it's less challenging. Unfortunately, I think Le Grand Cox is still better than me so I may not promote this year. Just my luck that he landed up in my League!

As you start understanding the fundamentals of the game, you'll naturally start winning the games. Le Grand Cox is my real life friend. He said he's gonna try to promote back to div I this season. Yeah I think his team is stonger than yours...frankly speaking. Even with the players he has now, he can well compete in div I in my opinion. lol when I promoted to div I last season, I had worse players :P

Of course, he's traded his $45,000 shooting guard for a $15,000 one.

Well this looks like a stupid move but perhaps he wanted to save some of his income? Besides, the 45k player he sold isn't a great SG. I saw his skills but the only skills that are outstanding and making the salary is high is the JS and JR.
There are 5 possible spots in div I at the moment. Usually only 4 teams promote to div I but since there are 5 bots (or there will be 5 bots soon), 5 teams will get promoted. As far as I can remember, if you have the best record or something like that, even if you didn't win the league championship, you get promoted. That's what happened to Rescue Ink last season. So there's still a chance!
