I don't understand, you are right. I am saying that you win and you are in. Making a team be competitive and qualify for various tournaments for numerous years before they get to play in the B3 isn't, in my opinion, what the B3 is about.
But, I have lost interest in the B3 basically since the year that the German team gave up. And the hilarity of this year's "top" managers is killing me. So hypothesize away, by all means. Maybe we can make it the top 8 teams from each 50 degrees of longitude...
Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.
