i could even understand it, after you are out of competition (basically) you can give the enxt generation an xp boost and maybe an advantage for the next competiton :)
That would be the case for all micronations then. As long as XP is some unknown factor...
i don't think that Xp is an unknown factor, and why not concentrating on the more important games? Especially since XP si known to work.
Then you have better chanche for a win or even two when it counts, and your player are in the best age betwen 20,5 and 21,5 and not anymore with 21,9 where there only play scrimmage. Depending on future for the senior team, they could stay in.
