Hi,
I am playing in aa TT league and half of the players are remote so we play over webcam and it takes a lot of comms and time. I am trying to setup a custom game in test mode so we can play our developed teams where it's a remote match-up. Some players are local to each group and 60% of the games are TT.
I tried setting up in test mode but it didn't work and had to abort the game (which counted in stats) how do you know if you are in test mode.
My most recent game was called test:test123 but I don't think was using the test client as none of the command lines seemed to work. Keen to see if I can get this working so we can modify teams to reflect our TT league when we play. |

It worked for me a couple months ago
It was tricky to get working though
I think gamename with "test:" at the start is only required if you're playing your own teams against each other? |

yeah, I may know what your problem was. It's not "test:" but "test: " that you need. The space matters. |

thanks - I tried the space but not sure it worked. How do i know if im in a test game? Again typing in command lines but no acknowledgement. im sure when I tried a year ago it worked and was more obvious? |

Click on the play link on your page. Select "Test: testgame" (or similar) for both.
If two clients load with both rosters you are in a test game. The server won't allow to play against your own teams if you are not in test mode. So ... if the game comes up - everything is fine.
The commands to alter teams only work while the "do you want to start a game with these teams" box is visible. If you click yes on that - you can't use the commands anymore.
I just tried that. So anything you alter has to happen before both clients agree to the game. Which makes sense - you know - as what is being changed is visible to both players and if one doesn't agree they can still back out. |

You definitely want to start a league for this sort of thing.
Create a New Group
Is a link on your home page, once created go there, choose more -> edit group info.
Set from Meta-Group to League, and enter 4 in the ruleset, for the standard BB20 teams and rules.
Have league teams made from the link on your group page that appears
Create a team for this league
Or you can import league teams once they apply to the teams tab on the group and you accept them in.
As a league admin, you can edit skills, spps, injuries, treasury, fans, all sorts, on imported teams, to mirror the results of any games played offline, and the teams can play games here that record results as normal. You can make as many people admin as you like, for a small group so they can edit their own results in.
--
You can track scores in either an open round-robin tournament, though that limits teams to playing each other once only, or, maybe easier to edit scores onto the teams tab. |

Ok when i try and create one of the base teams that is TV 1300 i get an error when submitting for approval - Ruleset is set to 1000k gold. Do i need to use a different ruleset for the league? Currently set to 4 as suggested. |
