because three teams from the intertoto cup was sent to the uefa cup, therefore the intertoto cup had to be finished before the uefa cup starts and it took place in the summer months. managers did not want their team opening the season that early and players has to cut their holidays short therefore they did not want to participate in the matches. also tv coverages had waay too less viewers than expected. thats why intertoto cup died. but none of these should be an issue in buzzerbeater i guess?

I disagree. I think it should stay a winner's tournament. You win D.1 or Cup, you're in. You don't, try again next year. I don't see a reason why a team has to be good for three seasons to get into the tournament. Just my two baht.

Disagree, why should a team have too wait for 3 seasons, sounds like sour grapes to me to be honest.

Although the idea for a cup winners cup is interesting, particular if the winner is given a bye to the b3 cup the year after, 3 years however is simply a monopoly and has to be avoided.

I don't understand, you are right. I am saying that you win and you are in. Making a team be competitive and qualify for various tournaments for numerous years before they get to play in the B3 isn't, in my opinion, what the B3 is about.

But, I have lost interest in the B3 basically since the year that the German team gave up. And the hilarity of this year's "top" managers is killing me. So hypothesize away, by all means. Maybe we can make it the top 8 teams from each 50 degrees of longitude...
