This season there were 222 teams in the BBB, 188 of which played in the first round with 34 byes.

There are 84 countries, and thus a possibility of 168 teams qualifying based on league or cup performance, so 8 rounds are still needed. Since the format can accomodate up to 256 teams, it makes sense to include additional teams.

Since we are discussing who should be invited to participate on the B3 or not, I would like to express that I think teams from NT coaches who have won titles with the NT but no titles with their team should NOT participate.

This is a club tournament and titles with NTs have nothing to do with it. A team that never accomplished anything should not be on the B3.

And I also believe that former B3 champions should NOT have guaranteed participation in all future editions. They should receive an invitation to the next edition only, so they can defend their title.

Couldn't agree more! Otherwise you'll get in trouble in the next couple of seasons when many spots are taken by winners.

I however do not agree with the point made that some countries should have more participants than others. The champions league of all is the best example of this! Taking a dutch teams for example: It evolved into a system where the whole team of PSV eindhoven is bought for half the money than what real madrid is willing to spend on cristiano ronaldo. This is (besides differences in tv money) largely due to the fact that large countries have more spots to qualify. PSV could only marginally compete due to the fact that they qualify every year. Ajax and feyenoord are now doomed because there is only one certain spot available. In a major league you can finish 4th and still qualify. This brings more money to the major leagues every year which means that differences between large and small countries grow larger every year. This is something I do not want to see happening, you'll have to earn your spot as mentioned above!

i agree on the first part

if your saying that the champions on b3 have auto ticket to the next tourney of b3 then its good, but to make them always there even without getting the needed qualifications this is a no. one thing for sure this is to also give way to the next great teams :D

I'm also against the idea of giving more spots for certain countries. Every country should be treated equally, as it is now.

I think they should invite the Div.1 champion and the tournament winner from each country.
All others should suck rocks.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Topic of the day was what happens if:

When Torooo in Canada or Got Rice? in NEDERLAND or Gachai in Prathet Thai wins both?

From a tournament tree point of view it was designed to have two clubs from each country to be invited to B3 imo...

yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present."
