Because that is not an unfair advantage, that is his role as NT manager. He is forced to take players from other teams. He is not forced to show his players.

No connvetion between the dots.
The fact that he needs to view other players' statistics due to his NT role still gives him advantage over those teams.
No reason not to balance that out with the "break-even" rule.

You are asking for rules to be created and enforced, code lines to be written, because you think some NT managers, allegedly, are abusing the system.

The break-even rule has zero to do with that.
It is just to balance information between two teams on the same league.
The NT manager surely remembers his NT player skills, when he will play that layer's team. Hence, he surely use that information.
For a fact our NT said that he uses this information (his precise line was - "I don't understand how I was bitten up on the rebound, and I know the skills of Player X").

PS - not the first time that the argument of "lots of work for nothing" is raised.
I find it irrelevant to discuss time (which is small) when we know almost nothing about how it is coded, etc.

And because of all that, you are at risk of having lesser qualified candidates.

Again, you could state that the chances of having corrupted managers (as NT MGRs) is lower...

More than that, the risk of less qualified manager on the NT teams (if at all) is much lesser risk than losing users due to the fact they will feel they lost, demoted or lost playoff spot due to this unfairness.

You can discuss with the other people who are seemingly disagreeing with you here.

Not quite...
The Spaniard fully agreed with what I've written (and said that it was an issue in his nation), and it not like there was too many on this debate.
Not to mention some of the others are NT MGRs and as are a bit biased on the topic.

Having 3-2 on votes against my suggestion(s) does not stands as a result.
The only result is the one the BBs take.
And they may even change there minds now or later.

Everyone else is being polite.

Everyone else is being polite.

What sentence wasn't?

and

How the word "ridiculous" is "being polite"?

Talking about "being polite"...

I'll repeat, as you brought the same questions about the suggestion, that I've already answered.

1) No, it is not just one user as the Spaniard explain about his nation.

2) No, my player was not the one that was exposed, so trying to make this up like this is just because I'm angry about this or that, as a reason to ignore it, fails wide.

3) Having about 6 players that are NT-legit in the same leauge as the NT manager does, or 15 teams at worse, that all don't cooperate does not turns things around.
One can verify it with the Is-Legit rule with not much of a difficulty.

And I'll state that this claim of yours has nothing to do with the "Break-Even" rule but just with the "Is NT-Legit" one.

4) When you quote someone, qoute him/her exactly.
a) The player had been 68K compared to 130K and above.
b) He is a 28yo that finished his training way back.
Not surprisingly, he NEVER played at the O21 (Over-21) NT.
If he had high OD/JR in the amount that he was a consideration compared to a 130K player, his Best-Position could not have been of a PF.

Maybe I fail to see it, but at least one thing is sure (again, unless I am missing something).
None of your claims wasn't about the break-even rule.
Am I right? If not, elaborate exactly on that

So why dont we all leave it as it is and leave it in the hands of the BB's? I think everything has been discussed and repeated more then enough.

I agree with that, but I will correct one thing in your (pretty good and balanced) summary.

The correction is that the break-even rule that gives league's collegue the same opporunity to peek, if he had been poked, does not affect at all the work of the NT MRG.
It does not make it hareder or easier.
It just fixing the unbalance state the current situation is.

Roger out. :)

The phrase just means that some people arent telling you outright that they don't like your suggestion. Not that you are not being polite.

You have a reasoned argument that you obviously feel very passionately about. I give you kudos for that!
