I don't thnik skipping the breaks altogether would be any good. But I can imagine shortening them could actually be a good move for the BB game.

make breaks between Q1 and Q2 and betwen Q3 and Q4 2 minutes instead of 3. It's just enough for a leak, or even grab a soda if wanted, but it's not too long to wait out for the next Q to start.

At halftime 6 minutes or 9 minutes would be better then 12 as well.

For BBs profit, they can do commercials at half time as well.

BBs have been thinking about cheerleaders as well, but they couldn't figure out how to implement. they asked a specific fed to help out, but there where not enough members in the fed, and they never came up with anything decent either.
But if someone comes up with something worked out, and not too hard to implement, I think they'll have ears for it. So creative minds... go ahead!

An other tip is to use the chat feature. It's nice to talk to others watching games in your country. And during half time, you don't miss any action. Boost about the score, ask tactical questions to other managers, show off with your player's performance,... it's a great way to kill the time.

For those desperatly seeking for more entertainment still, there's youtube to watch, and yuo can watch almost anything there, during those 12 minutes.

Nice idea. It could be a scrolling, TV-like "story of the game" something: http://bit.ly/mivyDZ

I vote for... instead of cutting off the halftime or quarter times..... I would like to see a short flash animation about the top 5 or why not!!! top 10 of best moment of the quarter.

Just tell me if you wouldn't like to see your player in action!!! i.e. a short flash of your Guard shooting from far away in the distance, or your center just with the best block ever, or the greatest rebound among a crow of players fighting to get the ball after that missed shoot, or the wonderful assistance follow for the perfect dunk...

Just a short animation of 3 or 5 seconds for each play... IT WOULD BE THE BEST!!!1

As above somebody said: " I can have my smoking break + a cup of coffee" I think it would be better to smoke and drink coffee while you're watching the top 10 of the quarter by a flash animation or other software.

If I am asking toooooooooo much, sorry in advance.

Prob a lot of server load there. Anything that increases load is likely a bad idea. At least, until more people start paying for supporter.

why would you remove the waiting? it's great for me, i can go take a smoke break, make myself a coffee or whatever else :)

So if we got ride of the halftime break, you might quit smoking? :-)

OK, I agree partly. I agree when you say that there still should ba a halftime period, but it is simply too long to wait. It often happes to me (and a lot of other players i'm sure), that I stop watching during halftime because it simply takes too long to wait. Why just not shorten the halftime period and make it equal to double the time period between first and second / third and fourth quarter. So 2:30 minutes between quarters, and 5:00 minutes as halftime period.
That way people still have the time to go to the toilet, get food, drinks, ... or something else, like you say AND other people who are just waiting for the game to resume don't have to wait soo long.
5 Minutes seems ideal to me, in that certain people can do what they have to do, and the others who are just waiting only have to wait 5 minutes, so they'll just stay at their computer and won't leave the game during halftime. So everyone's happy !! So maybe something to consider, because 5 minutes will be much more applauded than 15 minutes. Just do a poll and you'll see !
