Pre-Season Press Conference Rules

[IamQuailman]

Pre-Season Press Conferences are a good way of announcing your plans, goals, and expectations for your team for the upcoming season. Brag about your moves, give your players personalities, and have some fun. Not to mention, it's an easy way to grab 5 points towards your bank. Rules are as follows below:

Pre-Season Pressers can start anytime during FA until the first sim of the regular season.

5 points --> A) Post well thought out (more than 2 paragraphs... at least) presser about your team, B) Answer questions in your own presser, and C) Ask questions in at least 3 other pressers.
3 points --> 2 of the 3 listed above.
1 point --> Skimpy presser + asking other questions but not answering questions/answering questions but not asking
0 points --> Don't answer questions, skimpy presser, don't ask questions

If you post "ASK AWAY!" or "ASK ME QUESTIONS! THIS IS MY PRESSER", you will automatically start with 3pts and lose from there.

Remember: these points do not count towards your in-season 10-pt media cap. So if you don't do these, you are leaving a quick 'n' easy 5 points on the table!

An addendum to these rules: to get the full points for asking questions, you MUST submit at least 3 different questions to 3 different teams.

3rd Addendum to rules re: Q&A portion of pressers for S63 and beyond:

* If you post your PRESEASON PRESSER the same day that REGULAR SEASON STARTS, before the Sim 1 deadline, other GMs may ask you questions up until the 2nd sim of the season without being considered late. For full points, you must answer any question asked prior to the sim 2 deadline by the sim 3 deadline.
