As a 3 season vet of BBB #14, i'd like to extend a special welcome to every team that has now joined this conference. Look forward to keeping this forum active, and making some epic battles.

Welcome all. The Barstars can empathize with the gutting. We took over a gutted team in USA AA in season two and had to come down here the hard way, via a 32 game losing streak. But we held together and eventually pulled in some good agents and players and now we are a fairly good team. So don't give up guys. You can climb the ladder quickly down here and be comeptitive in no time. The Bar Stars send a round out to all our new BBB 14 drinking buddies!

Yea I feel ya on the 'gutted' factor... when I acquired the Assassins last year we had just 1 angry player left on the team... was an interesting week or two getting the roster together.

The fun part of being an owner of a gutted team is watching players turn you down for contracts and sign a HUGE deal with a team that ends up going CPU.
Had 4 players from last year that I offered fair deals that I noticed their teams went CPU.

My team was gutted at the middle end of season 2 and finished 1-15 when I took over in season 3 my first year as owner. We had zero stadium upgrades done as well.If you are patient good things will come.
Rome wasn't built in a day and neither are championships.
Concentrate on getting your stadium upgraded and getting players that boost and will sign at least 2 year deals to keep costs down.
IF your stadium can't afford high level players don't sign them.
1-15, 9-7, 11-5 my teams record the last 3 seasons. Turnaround is possible. Plus with promotion and demotion of good an bad teams you will move up the totem pole eventually.

We actually have a thread on our team forum tracking former team-mates and what they left us for. Needless to say, we haven't found one yet that has turned their leaving of our team, affiliation, and program into a rousing success. Most end up in much worse situations.
So my moral is for typical advice for agents. If you are on a rebuilding team and the owner seems to know what the hell he's doing, stick with it. It may take a season or two but consistency and longevity breeds sucess, especially at the BBB level. We got run out of A ball three seasons ago without winning a game and have almost the exact same team as then. We could probably go up there now and be at least a .500 team and compete for a playoff spot.

heres to that! I am now a 2 seasoned experience owner of a BBB #14 team (THE DRUNKEN SKULLS!) and the turnover in the last two years was tough. But we're making huge strides in retaining players and making a committed team.
I hope the new teams find BBB #14 to be a very fun league to have a team in, great rivalries and ownership.
