I agree with the solution of having the cup runner up play but the logic you used is no more suited for the cup as it is for the league. The second best team is not guaranteed to be the other team in the finals. Imagine if the 2nd best team played the eventual champion in the first round?

The thing is that the pool for runner-up in the cup is much bigger, includes everyone. In the final of the Cup teams can come from anywhere, while the runner-up of the league comes from a pool that doesn't even include all teams in that league, because of the conference format of the playoffs.

To the others: Anyway, I don't think a country should be punished for having the same team winning both tournaments. So we definitely should have 2 teams for each country. Why should Italy have an advantage over Portugal, Brasil, USA and Canada (for example)? No, does not make sense. Two teams per country is a must. Cup runner-up is simply the best solution, but the important thing is that each country has 2 spots.

Yeah right, and the Champions League is filled with just the national league soccer champions of Europe and none of them became champs undeserved.... If B3 is only for the best teams in the world, why invite teams from, lets say Equator and Dominican Republic (no offense)? I think the current method of league champions and cup winners/runners up is a fair one. If you have made it all the way thru the knock out systeem only to lose against the national champion (to be), you must have a pretty decent team...


That's exactly the reason why I don't like the Champions' League and why I much prefered the former Champions' Cup.

I agree with one thing: last B3's winner should be automaticcaly qualified [;)]


Yes, because he won a tough competition with his team. It's possible that he priviligiated this competition to the League and the Cup.

I would not consider France (my country) as being punished if there was only one team qualified to the BBB. He won the Cup and the League, therefore he is the only team that deserves to qualify to this competition.

Well, that is your opinion. In the meanwhile we have several other people in other leagues that feel as being punished or that this is unfair. I won both League and Cup in my country and I agree with them.

Isn't BBB signifying Buzzerbeater's Best of the Best ? Therefore, you are the best team in your country. The runner ups aren't.
In a country where two different teams won the Cup and the League, both can pretend to be the best because they can say that they priviligiated one competition to the other, therefore, that's natural that both go to a competition that is to determine who has the best team in the world.
If a single team won both titles, there is no other team that can pretend being the best of the country and deserve to represent it on the international scale.

i agree with you.

if you lose the final you're almost the best, but not the best, so i don't see why you should play the bbb.

It's all a matter of perspective. You are interpreting words in the way that you want to interpret them.

Others interpret that we are suppose to have the 2 best teams of every country, and the most appropriate way to select those 2 in the case when the same team wins both competitions is to select one of the runner-ups.

They have accomplished something. They deserve the second spot.

Plus what kind of international tournament would the B3 be if some countries had mroe teams than others? Imagine on this next season we would have 3 teams from Italy and only 1 from Brasil, USA, Canada, Portugal, and many others... No way.

I will seriously consider dumping my game on the B3 too if such thing is done.

Then you should have a match between the League winner and Cup winner in every country to deside which team is the best: it is unlogical to have 2 teams that can bolst they are the best in their country and let them both compete in B3...

it doesn't matter if italian teams will lost the first round, i'm not so patriotic.

there is the NT to be patriotic.

so if there will be one, two, three italian teams, for me it's the same.

the aim of the bbb is to see match between the strongest team, if there is someone stronger than you it's right that you don't play it.
