Hi all, new to this so I apologise if this seems like a silly question.
I have noticed in my league that you can use a game name to arrange a game with a specific opponent. unfortunately i appear to lack the intelligence to actually do this???
So far I have just been using game finder and selecting at random. Any advice would be helpful as I am a complete newbie! Thanks in advance |

Can this be done between a Black Box team and a Ranked team? |

more specifically @OP, hit the "play" button next to your team in the 145 league and when the client loads enter the gamename you've agreed on. Capitals count and you should make it unique since if everyone is calling their matches "145" you run the risk of joining the wrong game. |

Hi Highway, and welcome on Fumbbl.
Your question is not silly, and don't be afraid to ask question when you don't know
To complete the Rbthma answer:

If it's a scheduled game (in a scheduled league), it's not a "play" button but a "resume" button. But they work the same |

well, this is open-round robin so matches aren't scheduled though you play from a limited pool. Leagues/meta-groups and tournaments are some of the harder stuff to figure out on FUMBBL for new coaches |

Thanks for all of the replies.
I must be missing something; when I click on 'play'beside my team name i then receive files to download.
Once I have downloaded those files a new screen opens immediately to the match screen, without any opponent to play???
In short I do not get the option of entering a game name or selecting a team (i can select a team through game finder though) |

have you spectated any matches? that's the first test to see if you're setup properly.
You might want to join the discord channel too (links in the 145 PM thread) will be easier to get quick responses there. |

Rbthma yes I have spectated and played in matches. It appears that I am unable to choose a specific team to play |

Yes, your opponent would follow the same steps, enter the same game name, and then you would play.
So both you and your opponent agree a gamename beforehand, both hit play beside the team, both enter the game name, and then the game begins.
So, datom and rbthma decide to play
Datom messages rbthma and says, let's play my Frozen Olafs against your Rotters - gn 'olafrotter'
I click play beside my team, rbthma clicks play beside his
At the game screen, we both enter olafrotter as game name
Client asks us if we want to play, we both click yes, and away we go!
Make sense? |

Make sense? | datom - thanks for the reply. What you are saying makes sense except for when I click play, it does not give me the option to to enter a game name? Where on the screen is this exactly? |

I'm going to suggest to Highway to move this to discord, as it's a bit unwieldy to follow in PMs and on the forum and I think we can solve the issue quicker that way - step by step. Follow the link in the 145 PM thread (first post) |
