alot of ideas thrown around. all i can say is that we too support the ideea of expansion. not only because we were on the cusp for qualifying twice in last two outings but the competitive level is too high to revert with nothing to show. not just for us but for the majority of European teams who show their true rank in consolation and WC.

at the risk of losing some $$$ please consider having more games even at the cost of demonetizing the merchandise.

the game developers have show that you can have more games, as evidenced by PL and pick up. so please do not over-complicate it.


want to underline that my suggestion dopes not stem from my desire to have some participation diploma like the kids nowadays, but any extra involvement for NT due to more to play for will encourage excitment in the fanbase.

i have noob users who can t properly send out game orders but frequently follow nt. so please consider that as well.

and last but not least, maybe consider resetting all enthusiasm for 1 in NT scrimmages and adopt a footbal/soccer type system as they use in europe in UEFA Nations League.

Basic idea looks fine, but the system is also very important. There are 14 weeks in every season, what is your idea? Now the system is:
Week 1 - scrimmage
Weeks 2 to 8 - group stage
Weeks 9 to 13 - second group stage
Week 14 - semifinal (friday) and final (monday)
How would you change it to be able to compete 24 teams in second phase?

I was thinking about this and I want to remind that on PlayOff Finals, there is a tiebreaker game on Sunday, so maybe if there is a need to play more NT games, BB could use Sundays aswell.

Just an idea...

I would gladly support the idea. First of all it would give second tier (and lower) countries more chances to pull upsets and will increase the competitiveness of the tournament. Secondly, I do understand that this is just an online manager, but almost in every sports worldwide, everybody is trying to increase the number of participants on global sports forums and also increase the number of qualified teams to play-offs. Or even more, add some secondary type tournaments (i.e. Nations League in football). So I would vote for any type of change that would give more involvement and chances to nations other than top ones.

What about this idea?
#3 and #4 teams in 1st-round groups advance into two new second-round groups (#3,#4 in 1st-round) of six.
The top two teams in each new group (#3,#4 in 1st-round) and the teams finishing third and fourth in the original second-round group (#1,#2 in 1st-round) will compete in one match on Friday to determine the qualifications for the Second Chance Qualifiers.

Therefore vote within discussion section is a bad approach regardless. Votes like these should be carried out where they are accessible to everyone so everybody can voice their opinion. If one doesn't care, it's their choice to not cast a vote, but you should ask nevertheless.
