In the February 2009 issue of POPSCI, on the last page where the PPX advertisment is, there is a false advertisment for PPX Leagues. It even gives the web address: ppx.popsci.com/leagues. However there's nothing there, the website doesn't even exist.

So when is PPX Leagues actually gonna be put into place? Tommorrow, next week, next month?

They are still working the bugs out and post it when they think it is finished.

We were told it would be ready before it actually was, and now it's semi-ready but, yes, we're working the bugs out. It's much better for us to release a product that's working than to get everyone in there and then have to backtrack.

Thanks for your patience. I'll keep you updated as to when to expect these. My guess is next week. For real.

ASAP. Still asap. Sorry about this. The holidays got our development schedule tripped up, and we're still workin' out the details. BUT I have been in the test site and we're now just making it better. Keep up the enthusiastic anticipation. I promise we will make it well worth the wait.

Love, t.

ah! just looked up league and found this glossary thing about it!!!! had no idea what it was so i'm just posting this in case somebody else was possibly as ignorant as me :-0

Trader Leagues
The leagues allow you to track your performance against other traders you know. By including them in your league, you'll be able to see how you rank on a daily basis.

imagine that. lol

Thanks for the update, Taylor!

Any new updates on the leagues?

Ditto, to what beyondspace321 said. "Any new updates on the leagues?"

So.........any new updates on when PPX Leagues will be released??

calm down boys she can't give updates that don't exist

My opinion is that they found a real bad glitch in the system someone made a mistake over the holidays and now they are panicking trying to fix it while trying to make up good exudes to keep up happy good strategy I'd say I don't really mind personally don't care about the leagues but I guess depending on how they play it I'll get into it

Mmm... exudes... I haven't had some good exudes for a while now. I think I'm gonna run out and get some fresh ones right now.

Leagues went live today.

They are percentage based - so people who start with smaller portfolios will have an advantage in the competition.
