New rookie team

[Oblarg]

Cool idea for a team name, and nifty logo. I dig it.

Now, if you want to start a rookie team, here are some tips:

1) Find mentors. As many as you possibly can. This is the single most important thing you can do, and if you don't do it well you cannot succeed.

2) Have a plan. Make sure every person in the team administration has a clearly-defined role that they and everyone else knows, and that they are able and willing to perform. Try to stick to pre-determined schedules as much as possible - people at meetings need to know what they're supposed to be doing. I've seen what happens if you're not good about this, and it's disastrous.

3) Work within your means. This goes for any team, but is especially salient for rookies. Trying for too ambitious a goal will much more often result in failure and disappointment than success and inspiration. Figure out what you can do with what you have, and do that well.
