| Dec. 10, 2022 Rudedog67 16 posts | Starting a new team Ok looking for some advice….. kicking around the idea of starting my own 50+team outside of getting registered with the organizations that I would like to play in is there anything special that needs to be done???? I know the basics have money to play in tournaments, find enough guys willing to play. this will be a Michigan based team already have a good start on players please advise thanks |

There should be one manager, but if he/she can rely on thoughtful constructive opinions then there is a reasonable chance that your team will be a team and not a group of individuals. Manage and expect your batting average to drop minimum of 100 points. 50s, bat 12 or 13. Appoint an outfield captain and let them handle rotations and positions. Find someone to do the book. Use OBP. No conflicts, no hurt feelings. 2 guys coach 3rd, you stay on bench to control/observe the dugout. Designate another to handle finding tournaments and registering. One voice, but always an informed decision. Good Luck. |
