Sparky mentioned that very few people responded to his messages, so I am curious how your approach will be different.


What we need to do is get managers more involved from the beginning. We shouldn't just wait until they land a nice prospect, because by that time they may have already quit or lost interest.If I were a U21 manager I would send all new Canadian managers a welcome BB mail. In the lower leagues with minimal forum activity, BB can seem a bit dry for new managers. If we try to get them involved in the community early on, I'm sure we would have more success retaining managers which is good for Canada and BB as a whole.

That is very true.

I am tired though of shitstorm that happens with every elections. What is the point of all that? Maybe debate thread should be only for those who ask question, and for candidates who are answering the questions. Just not to spam it and cause friction.

Not entirely sure why interest is so low, hence I asked the question of the candidates. How can it be made better or is the game just dying out with a lack of dedicated managers?

It is the worst part of the position but unfortunately a lot of the interest from the community relies on the managers of the NT's. The NT remained relevant thru a great season but our U21 team appeared as a shadow of its former self. How can it be improved? I agree it is up to everyone to help but the manager is the captain of the ship so bares a heavy responsibility.

1) I don't have any responsibility in this one.
People are people.
They don't have as much interest in BB as we do.
I think the U21 is less important to Canadian managers so, I think that if we let them know about getting involved they might join up and voice their opinions.

2) I know which games mean what. I have become more inviting to my U21 team.
I let everyone voice their opinions.

3) I think different from him.
On my spreadsheet, I found a guy and my dad thought he wasn't good and I did.
So, we do have certain similar opinions.
But, we are different people.
I tried all year to be nice to everyone on this forum and to not get you guys mad.


Go Canada!

Question for all.
Will you maintain a roster database on the offsite? (somewhere that others can see the growth of players) I remember Kumiko sending me a message and congratulating me for getting more than 10 pops for my player. (I had no idea but it sure made focus after being reminded of the positive.) It is extremely hard to give an opinion if you do not know the players skills.
Sorry for the rambling post, the question is on the first line.

You did do it, I was referring more to an ongoing tally. Kumiko even gave us weekly updates - pops this week. Your last roster update was in October. (Things change a lot over that time.) Sorry I was not more clear.

You cannot scout guys during the season.
Your enthusiasm goes down when you dismiss a player.
You are only allowed 18 players on the team at once.

1) Obviously contacting the managers and posting on the forum is not that effective, so the only way I see to increase the interest is by winning games with their players and show them that their efforts count. But Sparky already does that ;)

2) Sparky did a great job. I would have made different choices in terms of players and strategy but other than that there's no need to do drastic changes in the way the U21 is played.

3) ROUNDED players, especially bigs with great secondaries (even if it means lower primaries). Every large country can afford to have players with massive primaries. We need to differenciate from that and develop rounded players. As a bonus it's better for the NT afterwards.
