Hey! I don't know if this has been suggested before, and it's not a crucial thing. When you're in the election page, you have a dropdown bar that shows the names of the managers that are running for the position. It would be nice if on the other side you had a link that said "More info on candidates" which would show us the teams they manage, and we could find out more about how successful/experienced they are. Right now you have to memorize a name, go to the Community page and search the guy.

I know there's a search engine in the Community section. I was talking about having something in the Election page itself that would allow us to find those managers and their teams directly, without having to go to a different page and searching their names.

Suppose there are 10 candidates for your NT. That's quite a few to compare, wouldn't it be easier if you had an easier way to go to their teams' pages?

I was thinking of something similar to the "list of players currently online" in your country, but a list of NT candidates. Just the name, division, and a link to the team they manage.

Like I said, this is just a feature that would make browsing easier. The BB site is well built in that regard. You have links to everything, even the guy scoring 50 ppg in div. V who is leading the nation in scoring. Since the main info I need for NT voting is how well a team is doing and how experiencied the manager is, these links to their pages would make it easier.

Imagine, for instance, that in your cup draw, instead of having a link to your opponent's page you would just see the name of the manager. Of course, you could search is name in the search engine and look at his team, but it would be less practical ;)

You're right about the debate thread, candidates should come over and explain their goals and ideas, and the main ones do. Again, this is not an important feature, just something that would make browsing easier.

Well, right now there is a guy who just joined BB (he still has that "Franchise ____ created" message) running :P

I also like that suggestion. In the past I've also thought about that - especially once where I just couldn't search for a name because he had a couple of characters in his name that I didn't know how to produce on my keyboard. So I would have been glad if there had been a link to his team.
