Lack of activity is a big factor in why I don't activate. I think I activated 10 times before I got my first game and didn't even know I had got it untill my opponent messaged me. [snipped a bit] |
Appreciate you giving feedback on your experience as a new coach to FUMBBL - it's often just us old warhorses hashing over old grievances... something I suspect is a bit of a barrier to new coaches speaking up on the forum.
Your NA box experience and reaction to it (not activating due to not getting a previous draw, etc.) is something I suspect a lot of coaches do. I think a lot of coaches might pop on to the draw page to gauge the level of interest/activity but not activate until they see 4+ coaches. So you see 2 or 3 activated coaches and assume that no draw will happen, so don't activate yourself.
The solution might be that you have to signal your interest in a different way as the box draw page and the gamefinder screen offer pretty limited interactions with coaches. Sure, I can accept the match with my Ogres vs. that nasty team only to decline the match on the confirmation screen (tee hee!) but I'm not sure the other coach gets the joke.
Discord is probably the tool to do this right now...
Several coaches already organize Box Howls over on the FLCA (FUMBBL League Community Americas). Head over the #Box Howl channel and see if there's any other lonely wolves wandering about under the full moon  The nice thing is you can gauge the interest better, and who's likely to show up as well as a bit of banter on the side.
Alternatively there's the #instant-smack channel on main FUMBBL discord too that could get used in NA times. Just gather 8 coaches and an admin can start the KO tournament quickly and these can be R or B teams AFAIK.
For Ranked, if you're tired of the cherry picking then make your own challenge within your parameters on #general. Why not? |
