Seen a lot of new people coming in, which is great! :)

To all of you starting your big adventure with fumbbl
- a big Welcome.

Most of you will go to Blackbox I assume, it does have that nifty easy to use client and most recent ruleset after all!

Just wanted to point out that fumbbl.com has many coaches who played hundreds, even thousands of games. The "average" coach here is probably much more experienced than anyone who plays only tabletop. On top of that Blackbox is quite competitive in itself.

So, to the point
Don't get discouraged! You lost? I bet your opponent had ~300 games under his belt. That's not even a lot by fumbbl standards. How many have you played? 10? There you go :) You'll improve with time, that I guarantee!

Meanwhile ask good coaches for advice, the community is great! Check out the forums, tons of help to be found there. See the help section and guides.
And most important of all

Good luck, HAVE FUN! :)

See you all on the pitch!
