90 to 84 would be about a 80 team decline. If I did my numbers right.

Nice!
It was a decline of 75, to be precise.

I wonder if looking at percentages for the US is useful, is the sample size too small? How many people did the US lose, 10, 20?

Ideally, it'd be best to break out the components of growth/decline for the largest countries, as they are probably moving the needle the most. Then, you can also have an aggregate for the remaining countries to see what they are doing as a group.

I only have the US number since it's been one of the three numbers I've been tracking weekly since I started doing this on Monday mornings. It's only about 6% of the total user base, so it'd be awesome to have the weekly user info for the bigger countries to get a clearer picture of which countries are declining the most (both absolute and percentage-wise), and which may even be holding steady or increasing.

I can't find exact values, but the first look at the biggest communites suggests, that there was 7-8k users.
It's hard to except a big migration into BB - at this moment a lot of former developers of Charazay (notice that Charazay had a lot more devs than BB, at least I have that feeling - but I'm not sure if they were paid or not, I heard that one dev from Poland had a contract with Charazay) are trying to develop successors of this game. And trust me, I use the plural correctly here. There're at least 2 other projects trying to become new Charazay and the most active users of it will probably get into them rather than BB. We should observe them (BallHandlers, BasketballManager Online), even if their start it's supposed to be at least during the fall, because there's a lot of discussion about how this games should look like and I believe that they may be a source of inspiration for BB.
