I think you'd have to delay the entire boxscore for this to be very useful, not just the enthusiasm. I don't need to see the enthusiasm to know my opponent TIE'd if none of his top players played.

im talking league games...

so all the games on Tuesday for example.. mine completes hours before Brazils starts...he therefore can see have i played my full team (and can add to mins from Sats game) and see my effort... he can then base his selection on this.

Surely you wont draw the opponent 1 day before?

I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill here. Could it be that not many people have anything to say because this really isn't a big deal? And not because they hope to keep some supposed unfair advantage by being quiet?

Our daily conspiracy meeting ran later than usual today.

No biggie if your team is Canadian no!

This is just season 1 of the BB3 tournament and although not as valid now because of so many other variables I still think it is something that needs to be addressed.

If and whenever I qualify again bar a few teams in Australia/NewZealand, nearly all potential opponents have a clear insight to my tactics and I wont have any information to go on about them....

What about changing the times of the games each season so that we go East to West followed by West to East the following? or do you suggest we leave it and continue giving the IMO huge (in your opinion only a supposed) advantage.

I welcome comments from entrants in China, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand etc

I guess also come the latter stages this might dawn on some of the best European teams if they then get drawn against a US/Canadian/Brazilian opponent.

I'm not in the tournament, and am somewhere in the middle of the time-zones, so I don't have a biassed opinion here.

I feel superfly guy has a point here. It might not be that big as he claims, but it surely is biger than the GM (forgot his name) claims.
So I'd say, yes, please solve this situation, not maybe right away, but it should be solved...

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

Look, stop with this garbage right now. Accusing the person you're debating of being biased from the start isn't a great way to have rational debate. I find it insulting, frankly. Stick to the facts, please, and stop claiming that the users with later league games can't argue this point fairly.

Anyway, you have a valid point, but I don't think it's a big deal. There is probably a way to make it better, but I'm not sure it's worth the BB's effort.

BTW, how do you propose solving the reverse issue? If I'm not mistaken, the Colombian team involved in the first B3 game had only 4.5 hours between the end of the their league game and their B3 game. That's a pretty severe disadvantage if they have to adjust their strategy because of injury or unexpected minutes distribution in their league game.
