Booooo


Why should past winners automatically qualify? To me, it makes very little sense. Although, I must admit that the tournament does not captivate me very much. Well, maybe if I played in it one day it might. ;-)

I know you can't compare BB to real life. But I am just wondering, is there any tournament in pro sports where all the past winners automatically qualify?

Pretty much anything major-event wise in golf or bowling. Sometimes you even get a "Lifetime Exemption" to all events from a certain event in those sports.

The number doesn't matter?
Example - there is 145 participants (this season was 144) in group play. Each round the draw makes 72 pairs by random and 1 team left. What about this one team left? 8 teams would have only 7 games instead of 8? Or if someone is unlucky and by random he is more than once remaning team he could play even less than 7 games?
It really matters!

BBs always adds new countries in even number so that Consolation Tournament works ;-)

I think one example would be the Masters golf tournament.

Please do not put this game in with golf or bowling... First, I hate those games. ;-)

Second, your skill can stay pretty consistent in those sports from year-to-year whereas in BB (or most any team sport) that's usually not the case.

Some of you might have seen me post this before, for whatever reason I hope you understand I intend on not drawing the wrong attention. I have came up with an idea of a format that can incorporate up to 8192 teams in worldwide competition in addition to B3 given I know there are 13 weeks of national tournament cup that 13 weeks is a feasible number of weeks to fit this format. Anyways this link shows the explanation: (167495.15). I hope to really get people to think about this for a moment and realize that this can actually work. Cheers

bad idea,it means that some top teams every season will have a lot more incomes than the other top teams and so would have a strong advantage in the single season of the B£ towards the team that should entry in the toruney in the last round(maybe without deserving it,with an high rank due to the low competitivty of their country that allow them to win every season all in theri country)

As there is no response from BB staff, I repeat my question:

One question about new B3 format. Are you ready for situation with odd number of participants in new season, so that group play works? Because there can be odd or even number of participants qualified by all present rules and I think group play need even number so that it works.

Sure, the format can only work with an even amount of team, so we'll make sure there is an even amount of teams.

It's the same story with the current settings of national tournament and B3. better teams go deeper in national tournaments and make more money, B3 participants get more money playing internationally.
