It could be, but it seems pretty unlikely to end up being exactly 128 teams, doesn't it?

Highly unlikely to be 128 teams, but it's at least 50% to be a power of 2.

I'm not against an Intertoto system, I just want to make sure that the current system is understood.

From what I understand, B3 next season will consist of:

League Champions
Cup Champions (I do not believe if someone wins the double that another team from that nation will be invited)
B3 winner (who gets a lifetime invite)
Defending NT World Champion manager (currently GM-AlexRepetti)

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Before you have a chance, screw math terms.

You might want to go back and edit your post, then. :P

if this would be just for D.I and D.II teams, so I like the idea... This would give extra places for some countries... But firs of all B3 should be divided into continental cups as a part of BB World Club Cup tournament.

sorry for my English...

I would like to see that there are more int. competitions

but I'm affraid that if there will be more int. competitions, even more will be whining managers which will claim that best teams in here are benefited somehow

true, and that's why we all must try to get the best team!

would it be the other way around, that the owrst teams get benefitted, who would want to have a good team then??

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

There are 84 countries so at most there will be 171 clubs that qualify. But if there are double winners, or teams that become bots, it will be somewhat less.

So for a 256 team draw you might have 100 extra spaces available. Assuming all teams that are eliminated from their national cup enter the Intertoto, they are going to have to win 11 or 12 games in a row. That's as good as being a D.I or D.II team. Most D.I and D.II teams will last several rounds in the cup, so they will have to win fewer games in the Intertoto. So I think most of the extra qualifiers will be D.I and D.II clubs. But that would be determined on merit (just like the national cups are).

The problem with continental cups is the imbalance in number of teams. There are only 72 active teams in Africa, which is about the same as Georgia or Macedonia.
