WE HAVE ENOUGH COACHES NOW. THANKS!
Mentors
So a few weeks ago, I made a post asking for help with the Newbie Mix Team Drive. Well, the drive itself is over. We have 11 new teams lined up for open this coming season. That’s 66 players in open that would otherwise not be there. Every player that signed up (and had a reasonable schedule) got on a team. This is an absolute success in my eyes (even though I really wanted 16 teams).
This is a great thing for both these players and our game as a whole, but now the Team Drive admins need a bit of help. We only have 6 mentoring volunteers right now. We will not be able to make teams without mentors. In order to finalize these teams, we need someone to coach them through their season. This is a commitment of 1-2 hours a week that will make a world of difference for your six newbies.
If you’re a top open+ player, mentoring a team will be incredibly easy. At the start of the season, you show them through signing up for ESEA, paying fees, and joining servers. Throughout the season, you do (at least) one demo and one map review per week. At the end of the season, you get the great feeling of knowing that you helped someone.
If you want to help (or even if you think you might want to help) these new players through their first season of ESEA, please message Translucent Feces on teamfortress.tv (include a link to your ESEA profile). If you have me or fece added already, feel free to message one of us on steam about this.
$$$$$
This is the less fun part. Some of the people playing in the team drive teams are children/ young teenagers with no way to pay for ESEA. The total amount of money going towards the premium and league fees will equal roughly $500. Some of that will come from ESEA referral money, and some of it has already been generously donated. I’ll pay out the rest of the balance, but I want to be able to do another team drive in the future, so let’s make me not poor. :P
You can message me on tftv (or steam if you have me added already) to talk about helping out this way.
Thanks for the support, tftv. This team drive is a pretty big deal. Let’s make these players’ first experiences in TF2’s premier league enjoyable!

Didn't know this was a thing, but it's super nice of everyone who's part of it!

I'd like to personally thank anyone who can donate money. Two of the guys I'm queuing with this season can't pay league fees, so anything that comes their way gets my personal gratitude.

Playing TF2 is the most fun you can have on the internet, second only to porn. Thank you Kevin and your team for being awesome and giving this opportunity, it's wonderful work you do here.

Just a quick update: there are a few gods in this community that have donated staggering amounts of money (I'll keep them anonymous for now because I forgot to ask), making this entire process way easier than I could have imagined. So far, we have ~$350 raised. I need to figure out how to actually get the ESEA referral money, but we should honestly be pretty much good money-wise. We might need just a bit more, but I can stop worrying about that because I won't have negative money regardless of what happens now.
We still need a few mentors. I'd you can do that, please do! Thanks guys :)

Sorry to bump this, but he got 66 starters/ 11 teams and some backups for those teams. s22 had 48 teams, so pressuming we get 48 teams again, team drive teams are ~23% of teams.
EDIT: I hope that number is accurate as I don't remember where I saw it, so I apologize if I'm wrong

I would hope there would be more new teams than last season... on account of all the new teams :P
