Does anyone ever activate new teams in the Box? I have activated my 2 new teams at least 500 times and have never had a match.
I have tried all hours of the day and sometimes there will even be 15+ coaches, I will become giddy...and then it tells me activation will be possible in approximately 10 minutes. Bah. |

You have to click on the teams on the activation page to turn them from red to green, otherwise it won't consider your teams activated. |

It's probably happening a bit less as new coaches are shunning B since B is pretty terrible for new coaches.
The way around this (illegal action alert) is to ask someone else with a new team (or just low TV team) to activate only that new team at the same time you activate your new team.
Again, you cannot do that, so don't do it. But it would work, theoretically, if you could do it.
edit: could also be what chainsaw said, make sure you have greened your teams so that they are actually active |

Yes, I have definitely "greened" my teams. Sometimes I only activate 1 of them in case I became color blind and my green is red. Either way, I have at least one activated since one is green and the other is red.
I wouldn't go the illegal route but I wanted to get rolling on this much debated division. |

Looking at the Blackbox Scheduler History it seems that rookie match ups have happened about once every 2-3 hours today. That's not a lot. |

No it's not, either people dont have have 1000k teams anymore or they are activating them with other higher TV teams and those are getting drawn instead.
Basically you're seeing Box dying, people are not interested in making new teams for a division which has turned more useless than usual.
As always, I have already provided the solution to this 'problem', but at this point, I'd rather just see Box die it's own sad death. |

I created a new team recently and haven't faced any problems getting games (counter is at 6 right now), even though I activated 2-3 other teams with higher TV. |

I used to activate new-ish teams and they always got scheduled over my older teams. But that was a couple of months ago. Has the Box deteriorated so fast? |

Short answer: YES.
Long answer: Found elsewhere repeated ad nauseam. |

I play at night Pacific time mostly, there's no point in even trying to activate. Box is dependent on success for continued success. :/ |

same, although sometimes I sneak games at work during lunch or at 730 am before people arrive.
But yeah I have tons of teams that would satisfy you nerdbird. |

Or you can play Ranked. Much easier when traffic is low. |

I activated a new team recently, and got games. No issue. Actually I believe it is easier to get games with new teams. |
