You've yet to play a single league game and you already want to play the B3 champions ;)

Personally, I like the national cup. It has its fair dose of upsets, is a good source of income in lower leagues, and it usually is a good competition until the end. The current B3 format also makes sense, as a competition for champions from all over the world to go against each other, like the Champions League (european soccer) or the FIBA tournaments. Your idea of the top 30000 is mind boggling. Just think about the logistics of it. Right now, with one cup game a week, you need almost the entire season to have a cup in a nation with a few thousand users. You need many more weeks with 30000 users.

for sure yes. 30k teams in a knock out format is

about 16-18 weeks based on mental math. but idk that would be unfair because a 31k team may be better than a 29k team, you know what I mean? I mean the cup gives everyone a chance to compete (yes even the bots :p) and the bots gives D5ers and weak D4ers a chance to at least win 1 game. Though the cup can be crap shoot at times (like you draw a D2 or D1er) the cup does have upsets. I saw in USA tourney a D3 team beat a fairly good D2 team, I guess by CTing. Well what I think could happen is that we could have a bunch of tourneys going on at once. Like a BBB just with lower ranked teams.....isn't BBB 128 teams right? Then we could have 4 extra tournaments, with the next tier of best teams, like the winners of D2 leagues and runner ups of the cup or league or something like that. A 5 way tournament or sometrhing that gets more managers involved.

idk I was just trying to get an idea going..........but still a tournament of 30k users is just.........gonna take a real long time to do. Our Nation's tournament is a good thing.

I understand your idea, and I must admit a random match against some team halfway around the world sounds like fun. But the thing is, the season has only 14 weeks, so you would need to make it fit there. But if I understand correctly what you're saying, you suggest adding an extra tournament rather than replacing one of the existing ones. I'm all for more games, but I don't think it should happen anytime soon. It would mean an extra day with a ton of games to run, not sure that they can squeeze that in right now, but in the future, who knows? ;)

True but .... O well nvm I like the way it works now the only reason I said that was because I would like to see teams like in II and III leagues compete and 1 of those teams upset a I league opponent thats all.

I noticed how you kinda said like a tournament for II and another for III and so forth I would accept that I would Like to be called the best Team or manager in V league or Iv or whatever. So if BB did ever decide to do something like that as long as I can play other teams from other countries in V Leagues or whatever. Also im sure someone is gonna come around saying " what about my country we only have Iv Legaues and above" the answer to that question is your country just wont compete in the V. leagues but then we would have people from say Lubnan in II leagues ranked 40k 0r 35k and they would have to pay teams from the usa like the Black Mabas and World Idea Toys and they would get demolished.
