There will be a new item added to the player profiles (thanks to PSALT) for sponsors. Only some players have sponsors (you must be asked) and they may change from time to time depending on personal decisions or removal of a sponsor (most likely due to poor results). They may change fequently, so check often (and you news mods make sure you know whats going on with that).

Sounds cool, great idea.

Just a few questions
1. Will money be involved now?
2. Will this affect the way we play?
3. Are you making the sponsors?

Percy just PMs you whne you get an offer. I have got one from ProKennex (I turned it down, I hate their racquets). To answer your question you don't just get to PM him what you want, you have to perform well and then they will notice you and offer you their sponserdship.

Yes, PSALT is right about everything. To answer the other questions, I do not think sponsors will affect performance (unless a computer player starts playing worse with a new racquest or something), so it's basically just for show.

some changes have happened concerning sponsers

Yodavitch has accepted an apparel sponsorship from Lacoste.
Aztec has accepted an apparel sponsorship from K-Swiss.
Jennacourt has accepted an apparel sponsorship from Nike.

I think these sponsorships add to the realism of Fantasy tennis. It is a great idea!

Jennacourt has changed apparel to Fila, could either Dave or J-man start writing about these changes?

just to give you a suggestion have you ever been to tennis-x.com? they have a little section that gives little facts. things that aren't big enough or important enough to give it it's own section. that might be a good way to talk about sponsers. get a few facts together and do that. you might get some things from Percy like if a computer player 'agrees' to play at a tournament or something. you also might make up a comment from a player that might not have been interviewed. some humor like tennis-x in it would be good too. anyway that's just my two cents on how you might do it...
