I would like to suggest that on the box score in league games the announcement as to which team tried harder should not be shown until all games are completed.

Being in Japan we are one of the first to play and if my upcoming opponent can clearly see i have normalled or TIE or even CT'ed a previous game he can adjust his set up accordingly. I think this gives a big advantage to teams in the Americas timezone.

I think you'd have to delay the entire boxscore for this to be very useful, not just the enthusiasm. I don't need to see the enthusiasm to know my opponent TIE'd if none of his top players played.

im talking league games...

so all the games on Tuesday for example.. mine completes hours before Brazils starts...he therefore can see have i played my full team (and can add to mins from Sats game) and see my effort... he can then base his selection on this.

Surely you wont draw the opponent 1 day before?

I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill here. Could it be that not many people have anything to say because this really isn't a big deal? And not because they hope to keep some supposed unfair advantage by being quiet?

No biggie if your team is Canadian no!

This is just season 1 of the BB3 tournament and although not as valid now because of so many other variables I still think it is something that needs to be addressed.

If and whenever I qualify again bar a few teams in Australia/NewZealand, nearly all potential opponents have a clear insight to my tactics and I wont have any information to go on about them....

What about changing the times of the games each season so that we go East to West followed by West to East the following? or do you suggest we leave it and continue giving the IMO huge (in your opinion only a supposed) advantage.

I welcome comments from entrants in China, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand etc

I guess also come the latter stages this might dawn on some of the best European teams if they then get drawn against a US/Canadian/Brazilian opponent.

I'm not in the tournament, and am somewhere in the middle of the time-zones, so I don't have a biassed opinion here.

I feel superfly guy has a point here. It might not be that big as he claims, but it surely is biger than the GM (forgot his name) claims.
So I'd say, yes, please solve this situation, not maybe right away, but it should be solved...

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
