You can use bot teams from other nations. I believe USA bot teams were used in the Utopia cup.

Boxscore are usually there at the end of the games.


After saturday's league games, the boxscores are never available after the game, at least here in Serbia they aren't.It usually takes 1-3 hour for the boxscores to be available. And you can't see the tactics during the match.
After tuesday's league games, the boxscores are sometimes available right after the games end, sometimes they aren't.
Only the Cup games, NT games & BBB games never have these problems.

Also, removing divisions would mean less cup rounds, because:
2 Divisions = 6 rounds of cup
3 Divisions = 8 rounds of cup
4 Divisions = 10 rounds of cup
5 Divisions = 12 rounds of cup

There's no logic in Brasil having more cup rounds than Russia/Australia/Latvia when they have less users.

Changes would also have some impact on bbb competition (less enthusiasm for some).

The idea of removing divisions comes from the BB's.


Actually it does not. And the removal was half-hearted aus usual, there are still thousands of unnecessary teams around.

The next step should be to merge countries - bot removal does not seem to help a lot.

This is exactly the kind of constructive and to-the-point suggestion that I like. Yes, we will be removing some more divisions this offseason and I will use this as a reference.

Division removal is a new thing and I was unsure how it would work, that's why it was implemented in such a small extent. Now I know it works and further reductions can be implemented. And yes, removing bot leagues does have a positive effect on the amount of calculations and data storage.

One more aspect to consider: divisions that have active teams cannot be removed. The total amount of division removals will be less than suggested. This is truly a great example of a well prepared suggestion. Nice job tunjevina!

I was considering that, I'm not sure how my colleagues feel about it. We'll consider it. It would be a big change and I'm not sure it would be welcome everywhere.
