sorry, I don't understand why you say I have until next Friday morning to get a trainer.
does scrimmage matches affect training time?
Here is how training works. On Friday afternoon, the server will check what position you are training and for how many minutes your players have played at that position. At the same time, it will take into account the level of your trainer.
It is important to note that the server will only process this on Friday afternoon. So it doesn't care if you changed your training plans 101 times before Friday or that your trainer was a lvl 1 before Friday.
Scrimmage can contribute to training time. That is why you should aim to train at least 2 players since having 3 games in a week, you should at least be able to train 2 players on single position training. And always schedule scrimmage if your team is out of the tournament already.
But you must always remember that you should not have your players plan more than 85 minutes or less than 48 minutes as it will affect their game shape.
You should read up on the game manual and also the following help forums on FAQs, training regime and game shape as it will help greatly in your team's future.
FAQs - A good compilation of all the FAQs related to BB
Basic Info - Basic info on terms and skills for each position
Misc Info - Read up on all the Training / Team management links
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any more doubts you have if you are still confused after reading the threads.

I don't think you should expect much based on what they said. I was lucky enough to win two games but those were against bot teams. Had a scrimmage against another player team but lost it big time.
Seems that this season is mainly to get money to upgrade arena, get better staffs and train your most valuable player(s). Am I right?
btw, I'm looking at the match data...what's OR and TR? offensive and...turnover rebound?
OR is Offensive Rebound
TR is Total Rebound (Offensive + Defensive Rebound)
You can find this info in the thread I posted earlier. Lots of good stuff there.
Winning in your first season should be second priority. You should just concentrate on in order of importance:
1. Getting a training regime which should have at least 2 18 yo trainee (If you cannot afford to get an 18yo then a 19yo is not that bad either)
2. Better staff is only for trainer. PR and Doctor I don't think you need, but it doesn't hurt to get a level with specialty since specialty are not level dependant (Meaning a competent level Doctor with Taping Specialty is similar to an advanced level Doctor). Plus it is not that expensive for a competent PR and Doctor with specialty.
3. Concentrate on spending money to get all your rosters to have their main skills to be average and above for the non-training positions. Don't jump in too fast though. You need to survey the market a bit. Rough guideline don't spend more than $50k per veteran (28 yo and above) player. Not even $51k as $50k is already on a high side. I used to be able to get some bargains for $5k and below (But you need to spend a lot of time to survey first not to mention setting alarm clock to wake up in the middle of the night to bid). My advise, it is better to spend $100k and get 5 average players than to spend $100k just to get 1 respectable player.
4. Spending $10k on scouting is also a must since Div III don't usually have much active players.
5. Arena should be your last priority. But if you still have some money leftover, feel free to spend money to expand. Increasing ticket price will be a better alternative in the first season to increase your revenue.
Hope this helps.

I'm new here... Inv tarik me main...
ahhaa...
I'm kinda confused about the times for this game. the clock says x:xx:xx
is this in AM or PM? And I'm assuming on the same day as malaysian time?
seems to me some of the auctions are supposed to have already ended but are still ongoing

Oh and my teams is D Vices
Welcome to BB! The clock is local time (Malaysia time). Auction time is also to Malaysia time. Maybe you saw the date wrongly? But I would advise you to take 1 week to understand BB first and read up on all the links I posted before diving into the transfer market. You wouldn't want to spend all your $300k on the first week just to realise you bought the wrong guy.
Unlike Aeon, your team is not so lucky as you are in Div II. So you have lots of human players to compete against. At the moment in Div II.2 Big Conference has 2 active player and Great 8 conference has 5 active players. So in total you have 7 active players in your League. So again, don't expect too much and just concentrate on improving your team. The key for all new players is to make sure your team improves faster than other teams. So read up on all the threads I posted and ensure you clarify anything you have doubts on.
You do have 1 potential trainee - Amrie bin Abd Rahman (14092529)
So you will have to get another young trainee from the transfer market.
Once you get another young trainee then you can try to get an Advance Trainer (Pref less than 13k salary).
Don't need specialty as those are expensive. This first part is most important as it will determine your future Star for your team.
Try not to spend more than total $200k for both the trainee and trainer.
I took a look at your team, and your roster really needs a lot of work. To me, out of your current 11 players, there are only 6 players with salary more than $3k, so you really need to change at least the other 5 players to be average skilled players. You really don't have much money so make sure you survey the market well for a week before jumping in. You will need to spend quite a lot of money to overcome your weak roster. So again, be wise on how you spend the money.
As always, please read up on my posted links and try to understand the game more. It will help a lot to avoid making similar blunders I made when I just started
