Of course the users shouldn't be kept in the dark. I only meant that we hopefully will know more about it during next season. I definitely think the decision-making process should be more transparent. Ideally it should look like this:
1. Staff presents a change they want to implement.
2. Users can debate about the subject in the forums, which can provide feedback and suggestions for the BB's.
3. The BB's present a first draft of the thing they want to implement to the users.
4. Again the users can debate and give feedback, which can be used to adjust the solution.
5. The change is implemented.

Teams leaving is probably inevitable. But I think the mergers will give micro teams a more competitive environment, which in the end will make more teams stay, simply because competitive games are more fun.

I agree with this. I've also said the BBs should be looking at creating a situation where people are competing in similar sized leagues, by which I mean a much smaller number of leagues of similar sizes, whether they be nations or regions.

Really a thread like this should have been started by a BB. Shame on them for leaving it to the people who are being experimented with.

I have a question for all the managers in Africa, if they don't mind. Is there any connection that you know of between the merger and the 20% reduction in teams in Africa this season, including 7 out of 7 in Ghana?

Next a question for the BBs, which of course will be ignored. Will there be any changes to the draft in the merged league? Clearly if there isn't there are going to be countries with absolutely zero chance of a decent draftee. Obviously this will encourage tanking for draft picks, and we are being led to believe the BBs are against tanking. This is not just an important issue for the African nations, but also for other countries who suspect they might be next, and for everyone interested in NTs in general.

Hi,

I am sure there is no connexion between the merger and the 20% reduction in teams in Africa this season. I play for 20 seasons and i've seen a lot of managers come and leave.

I guess we'll have to wait for the news, maybe next weekend.

If they don't do something about the draft that enables the NTs to have meaningful members they might as well plan to remove NT competitions.
