these last two posts belong in the sugestions forum, but okay.

In a way it was to be expected that something that was implemented by the BBs to add an extra element of fun to the game would evoluate into a nasty rope-pulling debate, simply because many many managers are left out, and only an 'elite' of teams can participate.
Why can't we all be happy for the ones that are in the tournament, pick our favorite team, get a bag of salts and sit back to watch the game and chear for the hoops our favorites makes, while cursing the roof off our homes for every point the other team makes.

I will tell why, because money is involved.
It is the same all over the world. jealousy. My neighbour has a bigger car, my colleague earns more money, my brother can make expensive trips 2 times a year, and so on and on and on. People are busy being unhappy because they only can see what others have or get, what they don't...

it is sad.

Therefor I will be the first to say this, while not being in the BBB tournament at all: THANK YOU BB for giving us an extra aspect in this game, an extra goal to strive too, and extra way of having more fun following our favorite in the tournament, thank you for the efforts you put into this, to make this happen. I truely love it!!

Don't listen to kozlodoev, he's the Kaiser Soze of the TIE Movement. In fact, he wrote the template, that's why it is so eloquent.

sincere apologies - in no way shape or form was this intended as a slant or slight on you or your character and continuously constructive comments you regularly post.

I agree with the Kaiser. the reason the Galatasaray example doesn't work is because it would really hurt new teams. Right now, if you are playing a team that you have no chance against, it is smart to TIE so you have more enthu for games you can win. This would penalize weaker teams that make this wise decision.

Wow - since I started this lil ole post, I figured I would be back on the original topic which centered around the benefits received in this BBB tourney. To me, it's been shown that while yes, there may be issues with the amount of games played, strategic teams (with the appropriate sort of BB mojo) can navigate these waters and create a minor windfall.

This is a tournament that should be played in arcade mode at a base attitude level.
I say this because while watching the KDB/BC Torro match, I couldn't help but think if the game was prearranged and if it wasn't why should attitude matter in a game like this. It was a heck of a game until the 5point play late in the 4th opened the floodgates. Those are the types of games I think all of us would want to see and then we could spread the acolades approriately.
We can also see the players as they truely are and then reward the couragous winner of this event who would of had to navigate the matches and would allow this tournament to be kept within the guidlines in which all things are earned in BB.

By awarding them 10% to 20% all the common rewards associated with the game, the teams will get their just reward while the rest of us get to see a true slugfest.
