Well, I remember when the European Cup was only for champions, and I much preferred that to allowing 4th placed teams in. That of course was all about money, nothing to do with the best teams being in the competition.

I understand and appreciate your point about you winning the double. I've done it too, though unlike you I didn't think about losing on purpose. I know a country then only gets one entrant when there's a double but I'm fine with that.

I'd also like to point out that in my reply to Alonso I said he'd posted something that wasn't about the same topic. Having mailed him and having reread his post I see that I split his point in two because I didn't see things the same way as him. That was my error, and not his.

I've been thinking about this myself recently, and I agree that every league should get 2 spots guaranteed in the B3. The competition isn't called "BB Champions" after all, and there are a lot of good teams who lose the league finals in any given season, that I think still deserve their shot in such an event where one team does the double.

Conversely, only the defending champion of the B3 should be guaranteed a spot if they don't otherwise qualify, as opposed to every active champion ever.

I think it is a nonsense that a team that won the B3 would play almost always the B3 and one team the lose the league final cannot.

My suggestion for B3 participation:
- top 8 teams in previous B3
- 4 teams for top leagues (max 5 if one of previous point), league and cup finalists, and team ranking of needed (only div 1 teams)
- 3 teams mid leagues
- 2 teams low leagues
Or 1 less per league if too many teams

It is a nonsense having about 20 fixed teams that could participate even tanking, this is a “Super league”

Give these spots to to team motivated at their maximum effort it would be more fair. Much more teams could taste the B3 and the level will grow (no tankers or 2nd division former champions)

Agreed!

I mean, there are teams that have win 6 times and only 2 times lost and still don't advance. That must be very frustrating.
