Hi,

I have no idea when new countries appeared on BB for the last time but i was wondering if there is any chance for Africa to welcome new countries. You may not know but the Afrobasket (african championship) has started a week ago. 16 countries are participating. As a senegalese manager i would love to see more teams in Buzzer's African championship. I am sure countries like Angola (who won 10 from the last 12 competitions), Ivory Coast, Kenya, Uganda, Cameroun, Mozambique or Cabo Verde would have no problem finding users.

Thanks

Once again, you speak with your brain and i speak with my heart. I mentionned on my first message that i was giving my opinion "as a senegalese manager". This said, the existing countries on BB may be not the ones who should be on BB. In Angola they love basket-ball and like i said their NT won 10 from the 12 Afrobaskets and people from middle-class and rich people have access to Internet. BB could me more successful there than in Ghana.

I guess everyone would love to see more countries in BB, but we don't want more empty countries. There are however changes required for national team tournaments, allocating schedules, etc. that involve work. This keeps new countries to a minimum unless a country is expected to get a healthy number of users. The African countries are not at a very healthy level of users at the moment.

Regarding national teams and Angola, they already have made their mark on BB: (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/rules.aspx?nav=Nati...). Perhaps more will follow!
