Not to sound bitchy or anything, but have you read the rules yet?

[shawn snow]

yes i have read the rules and i have seen nothing on pic or motswaht the hell is it?i also read those sites i got yesterday and nothing for what they stand for./

PIC = Play it cool - play a little worse this week to play better next
MOTS = Match of the season - play a little better this week but play worse next week

Those are explained in the in the rules (the acronyms aren't defined though)

No, stick to training players that are passables in their primary skill that are no older than 17-18 yrs (also realize that an age update is just around the corner, so at this point I wouldn't look for older than 17).

Jeez, why so snippy? While "Play it cool" and "Match of the season" are clearly defined in the rules, the acronyms are a short-hand that's developed here and in the conferences and that most people find out about by asking (as Shawn just did).

[Mr. Wednesday]

Dola, training takes place at 8:30 CDT/EST (adjust as necessary) every Thursday. As far as your passable keeper goes, it depends on what you want to train. For a new team, starting with a passable trainee is a reasonable way to go, but 20's a little old, it'll take six or seven weeks to raise him another skill level depending on your coach. That means that you won't have him much past excellent (and a sale price in the $400k - $600k range) by the end of this season. Train a 17 or 18-yo passable instead, and it'll be down to five to six weeks and you'll only need an extra week or two next season to hit formidable and $1 million+ to sell.

Then again... you need another trainee, so maybe your new trainee should be the young passable, and you can sell the 20-yo once he hits excellent to kick off the rotation.
