Maybe, instead of this proposed competition. There could be another tournament. Similiar to the National Tournaments. Where the top 1024 or 2048 teams(World Ranking) have a tournament set up just like the National Tournament. All teams.participating in B3 would not be allowed in this tournament and then the next best teams according to ranking will fill out the tournament. Winner of the tournament could get a financial prize or a spot in the next B3 or both.

What do you think?

Don´t take the proposed groups to seriously. You might aswell randomize the concept, making groups of 8 countries on a rather "random" draw, so that every season there´s a complete new "shake" of countries. One playing for the Rose Bowl, another for the Cotton Bowl, and so on...

I do like the concept of a tourney based on World RL also, but Pini will be here telling me I only like that because I´m borderline qualifying, so I reject me opinion there. But yes, beeing engaged in some kind of an international tourney would be a task for my team.

You can already organize as many cups as you want, pay for supporter package and start a private league. If you want to make it big take a sneek peak in the big boys banter fed, they have a multi divison competition running.

I still dont get where this suggestion - as inaccurate as it is right now - should take us.

Im lazy and would not want to set that up :p Also I do not have supporter and while it is at a reasonable cost, im 16 without a credit card and my mother has alot more important things to pay for then BB supporter.

Also I do not see what is so inaccurate about this suggestion It will include another 2048 managers(my suggestion at least) in the game more. People will actually start to care about their ranking and it could keep some managers on board BB longer. More to do, more games to be played, more fun! In the end that is why we all play this game. We find it fun. I have seen so many new managers say something along the lines of "too slow, not enough games." and while BuzzerBeater is designed more towards a strategist, why not include another game?

I even thought of a name! B2A2(BuzzerBeaters Above Average) it rolls off the tongue nicely :)

There´s a difference between something "you can do" and something "youc an achieve". Qualifying for an international and OFFICIAL BB tourney is a task.

Your suggestion says the top 2048 should get a cup, the OP talks about a continental cup - thats why I said its inaccurate.

So lets assume we offer a regional cup. Would this be a cup offered for a timezone (to include africa in europe), or strictly regional? For example carribean cup, south american cup, european cup (including israel, turkey and russia?), asian cup...

Why it wont work:
1. userbases in different regions are too different in size - african cup would be an extra game for all, european cup would be only for old and established "elite" teams.
2. Who on earth would design the cup graphics?

Damn, I forgot about point 2)

So if I bring a designer who will do the cups, you´ll join in the cheer?

How do you like the idea of a "randomized" cup event? So 8 countries decided by a randomizer thingy thrown together?

And would you like the 2048 version over the "2 of each country" suggestion?

I dont like either of them.

My suggestion:
1. Supporters cup for the supporters of each region (I doubt there are more than 2048 on each continent)
2. Dollar cup. Each team has to pay an entrance fee of one dollar per season, capped at maximum size of cup event

Both cups to be played on sunday, minutes dont count towards GS, no injuries, no influence on world rank, no money to be made.

Winner of each cup gets supporter for lifetime, Dollar cup would be a nice additional income.
