Since the BBB3 field won't be a power of 2, this is a way to complete the field.

Teams that were eliminated from their national cup would have the option of entering the Intertoto cup (some other name would be used - but the idea is based on the preliminary competition used in European soccer for extra teams to enter the UEFA Cup). They would be matched with similar teams on an international basis on the scrimmage date. The teams that advanced the furthest would qualify for the BBB3.

Since teams would have to actively enter, there would be no bots. Teams would enter the week after their cup loss, so that the Intertoto field would be somewhat tilted towards teams that did well in their national cup, which is reasonable since it is being used to supplement the BBB3 field. But instead of a country getting extra teams, they would be determined on the basis of this preliminary international competition.

Games would be played on Thursdays, in place of the scrimmage, so there may actually be a training detriment. The economic benefits could be set to be very modest, but better than a scrimmage.

What is your reasoning that it wont be a power of 2?

It could be, but it seems pretty unlikely to end up being exactly 128 teams, doesn't it?

Highly unlikely to be 128 teams, but it's at least 50% to be a power of 2.

I'm not against an Intertoto system, I just want to make sure that the current system is understood.

From what I understand, B3 next season will consist of:

League Champions
Cup Champions (I do not believe if someone wins the double that another team from that nation will be invited)
B3 winner (who gets a lifetime invite)
Defending NT World Champion manager (currently GM-AlexRepetti)

Before you have a chance, screw math terms.

You might want to go back and edit your post, then. :P

if this would be just for D.I and D.II teams, so I like the idea... This would give extra places for some countries... But firs of all B3 should be divided into continental cups as a part of BB World Club Cup tournament.

sorry for my English...

I would like to see that there are more int. competitions

but I'm affraid that if there will be more int. competitions, even more will be whining managers which will claim that best teams in here are benefited somehow

true, and that's why we all must try to get the best team!

would it be the other way around, that the owrst teams get benefitted, who would want to have a good team then??

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