I love BBM so far. I've had some of the most intense and competitive matches within the first 2 weeks than I've ever had in any other competition. Unfortunately one loss already but what are you going to do about it. I gave it my all and enjoyed watching the match a ton.
Just saying that National Tournament is SOOO boring compared to BBM. You may get one or two close games per season if you're lucky but it's mostly just one sided, predetermined matches. Most BBM matches can go either way depending how you prepare, so there is an actual skill factor in play here - not just draw of the luck.
And if you're not enjoying the effort, just set your best players as a saved line up and you probably win at least few matches. Minutes don't affect to training and game shapes so the minimum effort required is much smaller than in other competitions.
Maybe if anything should be changed would be to reconsider the weekly calendar so there wouldn't be a competitive game 3 days in a row? Maybe play league on Monday instead of Tuesday and National Teams could play on Sunday or Tuesday?
