Since:
1 Division can have 16 teams, 2 Divisions can have 80 teams, 3 Divisions can have 336 teams, 4 Divisions can have 1360 teams and 5 Divisions can have 5456 teams, then some divisions in some countries are absolutely unnecessary.
So my suggestion is to remove those divisions.

The 5th Division should be removed from:
- Turkiye
- Deutschland
- Eesti
- Magyarorszag
- Srbija
- Argentina
- Pilipinas
- Portugal
- Israel
- Brasil

Only countries with at least 700 users should have those divisions.

The 4th Division should be removed from:
- Ukraina
- Slovensko
- Bulgaria
- Sakartvelo
- Nederland
- Chile
- Schweiz
- Sverige
- Venezuela
- Makedonija
- Danmark
- Osterreich
- Indonesia
- Mexico
- Norge
- Peru
- Colombia

Only countries with at least 165 users should have those divisions.

The 3rd Division should be removed from:
- Cyprus
- New Zealand
- Nippon
- Al Maghrib
- Andorra
- India
- Shqiperia
- Luxemburg
- Paraguay
- Scotland
- Moldova
- Island
- Prathet Thai
- Saudi Arabia
- Malta
- Nigeria
- Cymru
- Hanguk
- Macau
- Bolivia
- Panama
- Arzerbaycan
- Puerto Rico
- Al Jazair
- Costa Rica
- Misr

Only countries with at least 35 users should have those divisions.

Those are all bot divisions, and without them, the site should run a little faster. By my calculations there would be at least 804 672 matches less to calculate each season!!!

The idea of removing divisions comes from BB's. This is what's been written in the news:
In a global effort to prevent delays, we have removed quite a number of leagues by removing whole divisions in countries that don’t really use them. For example, we removed all 6th divisions, as well as some 5th divisions. The affected countries shouldn’t really feel any changes (other than quicker updates!) and we can easily re-add the removed leagues once they are needed again

This season we have witnessed training that is late by 2-3 days (if I remember correctly), tactics & gdp prediction usually can not be seen during the match, the box score is not available for several hours after the game is finished, etc.
If the number of divisions is still one of the reasons the updates are late, than removing those unnecessary divisions should be one of the priorities, especially because it shouldn't be too hard to do, and like they said, they can easily re-add the removed leagues once they are needed again.

You can use bot teams from other nations. I believe USA bot teams were used in the Utopia cup.

Boxscore are usually there at the end of the games.


After saturday's league games, the boxscores are never available after the game, at least here in Serbia they aren't.It usually takes 1-3 hour for the boxscores to be available. And you can't see the tactics during the match.
After tuesday's league games, the boxscores are sometimes available right after the games end, sometimes they aren't.
Only the Cup games, NT games & BBB games never have these problems.

Also, removing divisions would mean less cup rounds, because:
2 Divisions = 6 rounds of cup
3 Divisions = 8 rounds of cup
4 Divisions = 10 rounds of cup
5 Divisions = 12 rounds of cup

There's no logic in Brasil having more cup rounds than Russia/Australia/Latvia when they have less users.

Changes would also have some impact on bbb competition (less enthusiasm for some).
