Welcome to the big time. It won't be easy, but I'm guessing you know that. AAA is hard, but the Pros are a whole different ball game. But you are fortunate to be joining a league that, while still being competitive, is as classy and supportive as you will find. You'll find that your rivals will also be your greatest advocates, and that's a sweet thing. Take advantage of it and learn from the vets.
Working together makes the league better, and a better leagues makes us all better teams.
We encourage you to contribute right away. You'll earn your stripes, but don't let your newbie status prevent you from jumping right in to discussions, and more importantly, into tournaments. OPRO organizes several interleague Tournies each season, including the esteemed Magellan Cup with SA Pro (which we have won 3 straight seasons). Participate in those tournies. Represent the league proudly.
Be active, be attentive, be cool . . . OPRO is a bit of a family: dysfunctional at times, competitive by nature, but still a family. Maybe that's a product of geography, being from isolated Islands that are still family based cultures. Or maybe we're all just really dependent and needy. But either way, you're part of the family now.
Welcome, and have a good time.
