"Scrimmages
You cannot book scrimmages while competing in the National Tournament.
Your Next Tournament Game:
@ Carlos Lisboa FC (IV.36)

Pini, you must have missed this reply.
It shows you perfectly that the first content of that box is INDEED about scrimmages, therefore its title is perfect.
It is not close tho show what is important in that box.
When there is a cup-game, you are interested to know the time of the... cup-game, and not that the scrimage game will not be available.

It is like writing on a menu what you cannot order under lunch, because it only served during breakfast.

It would have been a little better, if it was ONLY called "Cup games" and writing (something similar to current information you get when there are no scrimmage games) about the cup games that you cannot be part of due to the fact that you had been eliminated.

BUT, this will also be much less efficient and informative than having the box name change upon the status of games you can be part of.

But the Box is NOT AT ALL about the cup game, the box is about your scrimmage. How would calling it "Cup Box" any better?

I mean, sure we can rename for example the "Roster Page" into "Milk and Sugar" and the "Finances Page" into "Acapulco", but how does that add anything to the game.

First lets repeat what I wrote on the head of this thread.
"When a team is still playing in the cup, that game should be under a "Cup-box" and not under a "Scrimmage" one.

Meaning - under the "Manage My Team" page, and only when the team are still playing on the Cup's tournament, the "Scrimmage" box should be updated and be called "Tournament" or "Cup"."

After you maybe have been able to read it this time, think again on what you've wrote.

Describing the cup-game on a scrimage box is wrong.

No I´m not "trolling", I´m actually asking a question there.

And thanks again Pini for telling me what I´m thinking and not thinking, and what I´m understanding and not understanding. Clearly one of your big strenghts, predicting what other people think, how they will act and what they will do.

You have a "Scrimmage Box" which gives you information about your availabilty for Scrimmages. And this box is telling you that you cannot participate in any Scrimmage Game, because you´re playing in the cup. That´s perfectly fine.

How does renaming that box into "Cup Box" change anything for the better, as it STILL consists information about your Scrimmage Status?

The far more consequent way of "fixing" that "problem" would be removing the Link to the Cup game from the Scrimmage Box and just leaving the "You cannot ... because you´re still in the Cup" message the only information in that Box, but actually adding that direct Link to the Cup Game is a thing of user-friendlyness, isn´t it?

And this is why you get the time untill your next cup-game? How does this is related to "Scrimage" box? It does not.

The far more consequent way of "fixing" that "problem" would be removing the Link to the Cup game from the Scrimmage Box and just leaving the "You cannot ... because you´re still in the Cup" message the only information in that Box, but actually adding that direct Link to the Cup Game is a thing of user-friendlyness, isn´t it?
And here you are confest that the cup-box should not be part of a "Scrimage" box, and that it still needs to appear...
So, what does this mean???
That the "Scrimage" box is not a place to describe the cup-game, but that the cup-game information is needed.
So what is more reasonable than calling the box a cup-game when it displays the cup-game information?

If you had properly read my former posts, you would understand that...

The MAIN INFORMATION in this box is the line saying "You cannot... because you´re still in the cup". And this is all about the scrimmage.

Every additional info currently displayed is only USER FRIENDLY. So you´re basically complaining about user-friendlyness here.

I don't know why, but he's just not capable to grasp this apparently evident concept.

Hmm.... Interesting... The cup-game information in this box is just a "user friendly" information. We all are much more interested to know that there will not be a scrimmage this week.Yes... That's sound's right.[Sarcasm]

I guess that if the all "Manage My Team" page had been called "Scrimamge", with all of the content this page already has, you would still say that the intention is the scrimmage games (and that we are all here for), and all the other information are just "User-Friendly".

What can I say... Logic in motion...

And it looks like it is time to close this one, too. The suggestion is out there, the BB's will consider it.
