Everyone, I created a Federation to exchange ideas about how to increase the number of BuzzerBeater users worldwide. If you're worried about the number of users decreasing, or if you have ideas about how to increase the number of users, come join us. Ideas could be about grassroots outreach to increase the userbase, or about ideas to pass on to the BB owners/operators to implement as they see fit.
I love this game, but I realize it won't be for everyone due to the combo of it being a combo of basketball manager/analytics/economics. But, the fact that there are only ~44k users worldwide seems like there is a huge untapped potential. I only learned about this game from a friend, and I'm glad I did, because I love it. I think one of the answers is more outreach to let people know that this game exists.
I hope you'll join the Federation. Here's the link:
