yes, my bad, I though you where talking about the national cup.
I think they do that to prevent the teams who may participate in the B3 tournament, to get economical advantages over the ones who can't play in there.
the risk of injury on the other hand makes it more possible to other teams to get a shot at getting in the B3 (the ebst team in a country could loose the title because of an injury during the season, thus giving the second best a shot at the B3, pure theorethically spoken), so I think BB don't mind it being that way...
Ofcourse the main thing about the B3 should be that it is fun to play in and enjoy playing worlds top teams, all risks attached.
if managers fear the injuries too much, and feel the joy isn't compensating the risk, they can still choose to forfeit those games...
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
