Sorry I didn't notice your answer, I was typing a new post in the meantime. Let's say the best 8k teams get invited.

It says 283395 games simulated in last 7 days. What is 4k games more? I don't know how the system works, but doesn't sound like this would put a big strain on servers. And the number of games would be decreasing in half every week anyway, down to one game in the final week of the season :)

Also, doesn't sound too hard to program. I think B3 already draws remaining teams by the world rank, if the total number of participants doesn't match with league/cup/past winners? So it shouldn't be that hard to seed the teams by the world rank? Schedule would be fixed, so it would probably require less resources than cup seedings?

Anyway, the main benefit of this would be it's massiveness. Not counting private leagues, teams can only test themselves against other nation teams in B3. And it's hard to qualify there :)

This would be like an intermediate achievement. It would give managers something to look forward to accomplish, it's not easy, but also not hard getting into top 8k teams.

It would be cool to make it with groups, too, like the World Cup or Champions League too. Say it's D1-D4, you could have groups with 1-2 teams from each of the 4 divisions, play each team in your group once, top "x" number of teams from each division advance.

This has been suggest countless times and every time I copy and paste this cause its easily the best way to implement it in my opinion.

I once suggested that there should be a tournament designed like the national tournaments that include the top 2048 or 4096 teams(by WR) who arent a part of BBB. The winner could get a spot in BBB the next season. It could be played on Wednesday with the BBB games and would be designed like them. No effort, no minutes towards training or GS, and injuries are only ingame.

If we wanted to invlove as much of the community as possible we could do tiered tournaments.

Tier 1 - B3
Tier 2 - Next 4096 teams not in B3
Tier 3 - Next 4096 teams not in Tier2 tournament or B3
Tier 4 - Next 4096 teams not in Tier3 tournament or Tier2 tournament or B3
and so on and so on, and then fill out the last tier with bots if necessary. Then have an extra tier or two just incase BB receives an influx of managers. Or just stop at somewhere around 30000 managers(lower preferrably) just so that lots of managers signing up has no impact since they wouldnt be ranked that high anyways. The rankings would be the rankings used right after the offseason update.

Their could be a cash incentive every game like cup games, but something cheap like 15k a win until the QFs. Then winning the tournament can net you x amount of money which would stay constant throughout every tier and not be too much(something like 150k), dont wanna feed the top teams too much. Then if you win a Tier 4 tournament for example you would receive:
150k, A spot in the Tier 3 Tournament next season(even if not qualified for it) and maybe like a 1 month trial supporter. Or maybe 3 months so that they can actually join a PL.

This could make Wednesday kind of busy as well though and could take a lot of work to implement, but it would add another game that doesnt have too much impact beyond some chump change here or there and can incorporate all of the BB world.

Great idea for tiers. If it's possible to include 8k teams per tier, 4 tiers(32k teams) would basically get everyone in one of competitions!

Don't know if it's doable, but would make a game much more fun.

If this was implemented, I would stay with this game forever!!! :D
