Thanks for the feedback. I didn't consider the language barrier.

For the players that would have issues communicating in their own language, they would still have their own nation's forum to talk with one another.

How much are "league forums" even used? Some more than others I guess?

Both my Canada and Utopia league have less than 5 messages in the last 2 seasons.

Just one example I know, but it seems like if this is the norm, using it as a reason not to merge is pretty thin.

I would take increased competition across all leagues at the expense of the odd forum message between league mates any day. Let the game results do the talking for you.

What if instead of having all these leagues across multiple nations, everyone was just in one big pool?

Of course that is the way to go. The answer you'll get from the powers is that it is too hard to code, so they'll just let BB fade away. They're not going to undertake a difficult coding project just to save the game. They're going to tinker with a relatively meaningless combination of micro-nations instead. Too bad.

Oh, yes, this reminds me that I forgot to say how closed-minded the powers are about all this. Utopia proves it is possible to have a "global league across any timezone with games played at any moment." It can be done while retaining your country's flag.

It can result in leagues full of human coaches playing on a relatively even playing field against teams of comparable strength. Even, fair competition. But of course who wants that?

Okay I have a question for you or any other BB: has BuzzerBeater lost a higher percentage of users in larger nations, medium-sized nations, or in micronations? The answer to this should tell us if a Global League would work or not.
