New Affiliate and Updates to Player Creation

[Canadice]

SBA Affiliation

We are happy to announce that we are now fully affiliated with the Simulated Basketball Association (SBA)! This means that you are able to claim PTs (point tasks) made in the SSL (that is articles, replies, graphics or podcasts) as affiliate PTs in the SBA and not be required to work double. You are also able to claim SBA PTs in the SSL as has been the case since the league's inauguration. This makes three leagues that the SSL has full affiliation with and you can learn more about them here. Stay tuned for another announcement next week!

Player Creation

We recently passed a rule changing the way positional experience is distributed. In order to simplify the creation process while still allowing for users to create flexible player that can have an impact on the field, a new player creating in S9 and onwards will be able to select one primary position and two secondary positions. A primary position corresponds to 20 XP and a secondary position corresponds to 15 XP in FM, making the total still 50 XP allocated. With this distribution, a player may play in three different positions on the field at an "accomplished" level (second highest) according to the FM scale.

We also revamped the Player Creator, similarly to the Player Updater moving it from the SSL Index to the forum. The new creator allows for more automatic checks to be made prior to submitting the player in the Create a player forum, reducing the time needed before approval. Our hope is that this will make the first couple of steps in the league easier.

Off-season

We are heading into the final games of the two divisions and the SSL Final this weekend meaning that the off-season is coming up next week. We will have a more detailed announcement of that period coming out soon.

We began the discussions then and the SSL provided the SBA with a recruitment announcement for their draft. It is only now you are able to use SSL tasks in the SBA (we've always accepted SBA tasks here).
