However you play online - Java, Vassal, Email, Cyanide etc - talk about it here.
This is also the place for discussing the various tools for managing leagues, teams and so on.

Yeah, that's a pain. It works but it's a pain.

I personally use League Manager. It was created by Christer to run the original version of FUMBBL and since he updated to a PostNuke-based system back in <whenever. I forget>, he released it as open source.

This is great because a fine chap by the name of Matthias Fredsberg has been working on it. You can grab his latest version here.

It's for way more than managing teams but you never know when you'll be so bored and lonely that you want to run a tournament against yourself... not that I would know...

Thanks v. much, from first glance, it looks great! Having some trouble with it telling me i'm missing files... but I'm sure I will sort it out. (Still very new to java etc. and all this online BB malarky!). But I can't wait to get started playing online asap!

Cheers :D

It has been a while since I used it, but if I remember correctly you need to create a league first (first tab) and tell it what templates to use (last tab).

Then you should be able to create and export your teams as HTML rosters. Save it and then you can update your teams and export new, updated rosters. It's not immediately intuitive but once you figure it out it's simple enough. Works great for uploading to a webserver, too (its original intent and why it does the wacky things it does).

Here is one written in java. I promised the guy to put a link on my page next time I update it. It has just been a while since I've had time to do any updates. Looks like he just put out a new version on August 24th.

Sweet!

It seems to work fine except for loading teams... it's crashing for me whenever I try it = whether with a JBB-created roster or one made by the app itself. Could just be my machine. I'll try it at work as well.

I'll rattle him off an email to let him know. Thanks for the heads up, Ski.
