Only question, lets say.... You're just one hell of a guy at this, and both your teams become B3, what then?

HUGE yes to this. Many others (myself included) have written about the desire for this as well as the fact that it would help bring in supporter revenue to help fund the BB business, app, advertising, etc. But, I'm flabbergasted that 24% voted "No" on this. What are people's reasons for voting "no"? If it is implemented to prevent cheating (as has been suggested), why is anyone against this?

I agree. Why vote no?

Also I like the idea of a Carribean and African nation.

This is a pretty cool idea and would be really exciting.

Some people might not like it for the reason that a couple people have stated: "What happens if both of your teams make it to the BBB?" How would this be dealt with? I personally am 100% fine with multiple teams, if that issue is sorted out. Would I use two teams? Heck yeah! I'm not sure If i would have the time available to run two teams to the best of my ability, but it would certainly make things more fun. I would have this current team be my powerhouse team, and the other team would be used to test different tactics with a different style team and form new types of trainees to see if they work out and such. I think it would be very beneficial to BB both money wise and interest wise. Not to mention it could really help out those micronations.

So pretty much.. I vote YES, as long as the B3 dealio gets sorted out.

I voted yes.

However, maybe some people ONLY want to play against people from their own country. Example: Team with 10 teams, all of a sudden it is 15 teams and 5 teams are foreign.

I would be OK with all the 2nd teams being grouped into the "Utopia" country. This was suggested by someone before. Then every one can play against every one else in this league with your 2nd team and the cream will really have to rise to the top. However, then there is the issue of how everyone starts out (div I,II,III etc...)



This is a big yes for me too. I think a "supporter" country should be created where all the second teams reside.

We also need to add a third game a week. Also a second round of PL games per week. It's ridiculous that there are more "off days" than "game days". The goal should be to drive traffic to the site each day. After two or three days of not logging in, it no longer becomes a habit for people. I have never understood the reason for so few games. Give the people more action and they will stick with the game more. It's common sense.

Tuesday: League game
Thursday: Scrimmage/Cup game
Friday: PL game
Saturday: League Game

The longest gap between games is 2 days (Saturday-Tuesday) and Thursday, Friday, Saturday is usually stacked. Along with NT and U21 NT games on monday, there is plenty of action. There is a game happening every single day except Wednesday and Sunday but I still think there is a ton to do on the site even on those days.

Nobody cares about scrimmages. So only 2 days during cup. I would do away with Scrimmages altogether and keep Thursday as the third game day. Move Cup games to Sunday or Monday while you are still in it. Treat them like PL games where injuries and enthusiasm are isolated.

Maybe that isn't BBs fault then. I look at scrimmages and think about trying fun new tactics that I've never used, or look to see how my younger and new trainees can produce stat wise. It is also very important for my team to use the scrimmages and cup gams to manage out my teams minutes. If you do not care about scrimmages, you aren't making the most of your resources I don't think. I love that cup games are dragged out so far into the season as well because it allows me to manage enthusiasm better and be more successful in our league (I CTd for 5 of my wins last season if you don't remember). It is also very easy to get involved with the NT or U21 NT and then those games are also very entertaining to follow. I don't think anything really needs to be changed. I log on everyday as well as nearly everyone in our league and many other leagues.
