The boycott affects all teams which lose all the games in any third of a season. Tankers, who by definition have made a conscious decision to lose, will just make sure they win one game to avoid the boycott, as maximising income is the aim, and not losing.

The only people affected by the boycott are teams that aren't good enough to win a single game.

No it wasn't the idea. I proposed it to get a more competitive tournament while keeping our domestic championship and identity. As too often those who shout loudest because in larger number have imposed their choice. Finally the decision was taken without the people most directly concerned having been heard..


I hear what you are saying...but I also believe this decision affects more than just teams in Africa. When you play in a small country and only have 1-5 active teams...you can coast by at the lowest possible salary without fear of relegating...maximize $$ more than bigger countries...and it gives a very significant advantage in acquiring players on the Transfer List. In bigger countries, it's the opposite...teams have to overspend to stay afloat, and significantly overspend if they want to compete for a Championship.

Personally, I hope this is just the start...I hope this trial works, and it leads to all micro-nations being merged to create more competitive environments so all leagues are dealing with the same issues and on the same playing field.

I don't think 90% of users are fighting over kids to make sure they in end up in their country. Imagine the uk merged and scottish teams tank in all divisions, get all the hall of famers. Sounds fair for the english teams to just play perennial allstars for the seniors?
The draft will need to be adjusted of course, but that is a problem as a nation not individually. Each of you people in micronations individually can get MUCH better draftees on average than users who are in league with more human users.

So I agree that as a nation it's not good it would starve micronations of trainable players even more than now. Individually you are basically just get the same deal everyone else has.

Besides, in you example the Scots would get shafted because they would be the minority and there would be a much higher chance that some English manager tanks for picks. So I think you have that reversed.


It could be argued that the draft itself should be revamped for this merged region (and others in the future). Make the draft in the merged African region 5 rounds instead of three to make up for the potential lower amount of players being generated of each nation. Otherwise the NT's will eventually dry up.

Going even further, without being able to train more players at full speed, these NT's will be starved for players down the road. This would be a good way to roll-out a revamped training system that adds the ability for teams in this region (and others merged in the future) to train more players at full speed.

I reallly like and want the nicknames. Why you talk for everybody? Yes, the fan survey issue is pretty annoying and it must be the priority.


But You DON'T have the power for think or give an opinion for me

This is a business and they need to add things to make people stay.
Do you really think that any non supporter will buy supporter just for the nicknames?
Do you think adding nicknames is going to stop a user who is on the fence from quitting the game?
Do you think that anything they added or adjusted will keep new users from quitting the game?
That are the things the BBs need to ask themselves when adding content.
I think the answer to all three of these questions in NO.
