BuzzerBeater Forums

this is my third season and I am taking it much more serious this season, including paying closer attention to national team competitions and cups, but especially BBB. I think that buzzerbeater may need to get players more invloved with BBB. I think a good way of doing this is by providing the players with a bit more insight as to the top teams in the world. Everybody sees the top 10, but maybe a top 100 would provide quicker and easier access to the top teams. I think something like what Buzzerbeater has done with the national team rankings would be effective. Show the top 10 and then have an option of viewing the top 100. It would also provide the teams that do make into the top 100 teams in the buzzerbeater world a bit more poularity or being recognized more as being a top team. i mean making the top 100(even 1000) is a big accomplishment in buzzerbeater, but some teams that make it to the top 100 but not the top 10 don't get recognized by players outside their country and they deserve more.

Another thing that could be implemented is maybe automatic bids for the top 100 at the time that the schedule for BBB is created might be effective. Some countries have multiple teams in the top 100 but don't get in while teams ranked in even 32000s get in. These teams have worked hard to get where they are and some other teams get in because of the size of their country. This is a bit unfair, i do believe that the league champions and cup champions of each country should still get in but by adding all of the top 100(or more for creating a good number for tournament) i think is effiicient and fair.

Just my ideas.. Thoughts?

i like this idea honestly, i searched it myself before 2-3 weeks and maybe you shouldn't make it only for the world and add the possibility to check out the top 100 of a country.

Yes, yes yes! We need this!

Who cares about ranking? League, cup or B3 wins that's what counts.
I don't like the way ranking is counted. I reached B3 final in season 10, but season 11 reached only last 32, season 12 and 13 reached only last 64. And still I'm on top10, since my B3 finalin season 10 I was out of top10 only for 1 week. But I haven't deserve top10 at least for 2 seasons yet. I would rather be #100 than top10 (with the same results and roster) as higher rank means only problems when playing on road against lower ranked team (because of boost for him).

Of course the ranking should be counted in as good a way as possible. But I think this suggestion is equally much about having quick access to interesting clubs in the world and in your own country.

Yes that is correct I think some players don't know about some teams that are 90th lets say and those teams don't get as much attention.
However i can understand what BC hostivar is saying because if someone plays against a higher rank they will try harder to beat them and then the high ranked team may be forced to use enthusiasm in the future.
I agree with the country rankings but maybe only top 50, i mean some countries don't have 100 active users ; ).
