I disagree with this.

Like I said before, 50% of the teams on B3 play only 1 game. Another 25% plays only 2 games. Which means that is a very very small quantity of teams that will actually gain any relevant amount of extra training or extra arena income. And, more importantly, these teams actually deserve that, since they won their National titles and beat other national champions... And you can be sure that those teams will have to TIE all of their league and cup games, and rest their stars, if they want to go that far on B3.

So I, personaly, remain convinced that any complain about the B3 is unfounded.

I will say in response that I haven't been able able to pic every BB3 game as I have played two really good teams already, with KDB coming up - and i doubt there is much difference between doing 3 and 4 ties a week. A lot comes down to luck with scheduling. I could easily have drawn a tough team in round 1 and lost or had a tough opponent in the cup (instead of 4 consecutive bots).

So yes, this will help widen the gap between my team and the others in Canada (except for the Sculpins who are doing some serious damage in BB3), but in the long run the financial gain is probably negligible. While I get an extra $200-250 each week (and extra training - which likely has added little value to the 2 extra players receiving training), I have to tie all my league games (leading to a loss and decreased attendance) which gives some of the teams a chance to beat me (KDB is immune to this with his pact of mutual ties).

Thus, a relatively favourable schedule will help me profit about $600 for the 4 weeks, which is helpful, but not insurmountable for the other teams in Canada that are not playing in BB3. And for the top teams, it is a big carrot to keep us extremely interested in the game until the rest of the teams are able to catch up with us.

You failed to address how the increased travel involved with the BBB affects the health of the elephant.

My team honours everyone's favourite children's audiobook character, Benjamin Bluemchen (the monolingual speaking elephant that lives in a German zoo) - and my team name is based on the sound an elephant makes (I don't think there is an English equivalent).

The travel itself is not so bad, but certainly puts a strain on his friendship with Otto.

You don't exclusively date 500 pound women with long noses, do you?

what do u mean KDB has mutual TIE pacts? Isnt that kinda cheating the other teams in the division?

I didn't know a team as good as kdb needs mutual ties.....

Does his division know?

Is this where we see the response to where the system is fine and we should not complain?

A man and a woman are having consensual sex - does the woman know?

So if your talking about Salisbury, KDB and yourself and you lost both which one is the girl?

Or if its the rest of the division, youre saying they know they are getting screwed?

Sounds like the opposite of another l.1 series I know where the champion got CT'ed in his opening 5 games (in season 4).

This wasnt everyone playing happy families - this was out and out we are going to try and make sure you ain't champion again....

I suppose if everyone wants to TIE they are going to struggle to oust him as Champion....I guess it will only be a matter of time of looking up (or across fromt eht Great 8) before a few teams decide to try and do something about it...
