2nd PL on Sundays would be better. The gap from Saturday to Tuesday between games bugs me.

the pl game is the best thing about being a supporter

I do not agree: it's one of the less interesting part of the supporter package for me. So it wouldn't please everybody.

But the most important thing is that PLs are the most server-heavy part of the supporter package and I don't think that BB's servers could deal with even more games.

If servers are the issue, BB probably should have stopped simulating all-bot divisions a long time ago. Take a look at my country's league list here:

(http://www.buzzerbeater.com/country/1/leagueList.aspx)

Division 6 is made up entirely of bot teams & has 512 leagues. That's 4096 needless games, every Tuesday & Thursday. Plus all-star & MVP processing. Just in one country. A few extra PL games for supporters doesn't come close to being that server intensive...

(d6 is completely unneeded as d5 is mostly bots itself.)

There actually are many leagues that doesnt have a singel human managers.
Argentina D.5
Belgium D.5
Canada D.5
Chile D.4 and 5
Colombia D.4
Denmark D.4
Germany D.5 and 6
Estonia D.5
Spain D.6
France D.6
Hong Kong D.5
Israel D.5
Italy D.6
Hungary D.5
Philippines D.5
Poland D.6
Romania D.5
Slovenia D.5
Serbia D.5
Finland D.5
USA D.6

And several D2,3 and 4's to. some of those would probably be stupid to delete just in case as they dont take up a lot of space anyway. But a lot of the once i have listed probably never will see a human manager in them though.


Most of these probably only still exist to ensure everyone gets to participate in the Cup.

Not necessarily because the way it is set up you need a certain amount of teams for it to work. 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192.
Countries with one divisions have 16 teams, so thats fine.
2 Divisions: 80
3 Divisions: 336
4 Divisions: 1360
5 Divisions: 9552

So I think eliminating any division 6's would be able to reduce server workload and ensure every human team can participate in the cup.

Maybe, if the cup format was changed to the B3 format, but im not sure how many people would enjoy that.
