This way, you can simply ask participants to fill in which season they "played" first.

Example, I joined my HS team in November 1999, but my rookie year was 2000. The 2000 game was the first one I played.

If you ever have a question in a thread, please read everything that has already been posted. There's usually a pretty good chance that somebody else already asked the same question, and got an answer.
