While i was having a look at the World Championships Repechage groups for Season 51, i noticed that all games are being held in Slovenia. However, since Slovenia is still in the run for making it to the World Championship i think that having home-court advantage is unfair for everybody else because I thought it was supposed to take place in a neutral venue.

Since the European Championship was held in Slovenia (rightfully so having won the Consolation tournament the previous season) i think this might be a bug.

It would be a massive advantage for the seventh ranked team in the world to have such a head start

There is a huge difference when it is in a nation that obviously has no chance of advancing to the WC or in a nation that might actually win it with the HCA.

There must be a publicly known way for choosing(/drawing?) where the WC is hosted. Continental championships are hosted by the winners (or most advanced) nations in the consultation tournament and that is perfectly fair. But what about the WC? How is it being decided?? How come some nations have hosted it twice during BB history and others 0? No team should host it and as a result receive such a big advantage without earning it in a fair way, or either in some kind of a known way to achieve it.

Simply unfair and doesn't make any sense at all.

Direct quote from game manual:

"One country will host each continental championship, determined during the season of the World Championships, and a fifth country will host the Second Chance Qualifiers and World Championships."

So Slovenia hosting WC is not only unfair, it's against the game's own rules...

Give this man a medal!

Jokes aside, of all the teams he could have picked he selected the team who won the consolation tournament, which is the easiest one to notice, if he were to give it to South Africa I would kinda get if (i actually don't, it's his job and had 1 full season to realize it) but giving it to the Champions is just... Lazy.

The sad part is that he won't do anything to change it and this year's tournament won't necessarily crown as Champion the Team that deserves it
