Welcome to Season 13!
Welcome to Season 13!Hello, and welcome to lucky Season 13 in BuzzerBeater!
The first dozen seasons have been great, and here's to another dozen!
We have several things to announce for the upcoming season. First, you've been asking for a new draft system for some time now, and we have listened! Season 13 will debut a new, more interactive scouting system! Instead of sending scouts out blindly, you will be able to scout specific players. You can buy scouting points at the same rates as you previously would be able to pay to send scouts on the road. At the start of each season (for Season 13, later in the season) the draft page will be available with a set of baseline rankings. These rankings are done based upon your coaching staff's very rough assessment of the talent of the player, based on a combination of the current skills and the talent of each player, but as in real life, the ranking will be imperfect, and some players will even be ranked very inaccurately. You will have to invest further in scouting these players to find some hidden gems and expose some talent for being over-hyped. Each team will have its own baseline rankings, but the amount of uncertainty in each set of rankings will be the same. Unlike in the previous system, however, there will be no free scouting points given out because we are instead giving the baseline rankings. Also, bot teams will now choose players according to the baseline rankings rather than at random.
Each week, your scouting points will be updated. You may spend your scouting points at any time as follows:
1 point: Watch the player play a game (the equivalent of scouting a player once in the old system).
2 points: Invite the player for a private workout (the equivalent of scouting a player twice in the old system). This can only be done after you have already watched the player play a game. This will also generate the player's height and age.
In addition, there will be a "scouting combine" at the allstar break, where every player in the upcoming draft class will show up to be measured. You can spend 10 points at any point after the allstar break to send a scout to the combine to learn the ages and heights for all 48 players in the upcoming draft class. Scouting points may be spent at any moment until the draft is run, but cannot be carried over into the next season. Please note that the talent pools and draft order will remain the same. It is only the method of scouting those pools that will be new.
We'd like to congratulate the winner of our NBA playoff referral contest, dog78 from Poland. He will receive a year of free Supporter. 2nd Prize goes to Arbelon from Israel, he will receive 6 months of supporter. 3rd Prize of 3 months Supporter goes to arsenalbartek from Poland.

Welcome to Season 13! (cont.)
In economic news, as we announced a few weeks ago, the salary formula has been automatically retuned and salaries will typically be 3-6% lower on average in Season 13 for the same amount of skill.
We would like to congratulate España for their 96-92 victory over China in the World Championship final! España, managed by Marot, are celebrating their 2nd World Championship! Also, we are pleased to announce that the upcoming U21 World Championships will be hosted by Lietuva. Elections are now underway for the National Teams! Please cast your vote for your new National Team manager!
This offseason, we decided to expand 11 countries by adding new divisions, but have not added any new countries to the BuzzerBeater world. We will continue to add new countries if there are enough teams to get the top division started. To make room for the increasing number of teams in BuzzerBeater, we have made some small adjustments to the time that games are run in some countries. Individual announcements about this change will be forthcoming shortly in the countries which are affected.
Finally, we would like to remind you to read the previous news post regarding game engine upgrades will be continuing during Season 13.
Thank you to all of our users for their continued support of BuzzerBeater, and have a happy Season 13! :onion22: 改選秀 球探探查
