Isn't that illegal?

I was referring to the "go bot and get a new team in another country"-part.

Do you (meaning BB) really care which country one joins? For instance, if I got a VPN or, more straightforwardly, if I was visiting the US, I could let my team go bot and then sign up there. Game timings would be a pain but how does it matter?

I don't think they care what country you apply to as long as you don't have multiple teams. I believe they encourage your own country, but I recall someone telling me I could go bot and compete in another country if I really wanted to

I also like the idea of a BeNeLux league.
NT teams could be seperated and remain to their country because else we would have 3 countries with a larger draft pool and a more efficient combined NT.
Going bot and literally throwing away my progress over the last ten seasons, so that I eventually land into the desired country is out of question for me. Some fellow Lux players think about leaving this BB country too and I am certain that other smaller nations feel the same . As an example, most of D.1 teams of Luxemburg are maybe good enough to play D.3 in bigger countries like Spain, and I wpuld struggle too .

I know that I won't get the special privilege from BB , but I'd like to make you all think about this problem/inconvenience and maybe even consider to create "new leagues" , like Benelux, Carribean etc.. Maybe even implementing such leagues for bigger nations for the Ex-Yugoslavian or Baltikum states.

I remember the opposite. My former roommate wanted to start a team in Macau and when I asked I was told its not possible, because of whatever reasons BB has ("basketball reasons" probably xD).

You have to live in the country you play. If you move to that country then you can allow this team to go bot and start a new team. In this case the poster said he lived only 40 km from Belgium and was only told that they may allow it.
