caioxlive13 Posted October 5, 2024 Posted October 5, 2024 7m-9m? Well, each year it's harder to play because the fees are exponentially growing. We really need to do that?

We really need to do that? For any consistent team with a decent amount of players, that money is insignificant. It's also to prevent teams that are given the opportunity to participate from ending up dropping out and ruining the competition. I hope that's the answer you are looking for ^-^ manuelsalas, MathewMat, caioxlive13 and 1 other 3 1

I hope that's the answer you are looking for ^-^ Could do some kind of Trusting fund: Paying on top of the entrys some money, but if they compete until the end, the money they gave for trusting is returned. Like on the VI World Cup.
caioxlive13 Posted October 7, 2024 Posted October 7, 2024 (edited) A small suggestion for the Manager Choice. Instead of random pick, copypaste the last week's choice if they don't pick one, at a maximum of twice per season(Third onwards is a Walkover on the Manager Choice). In abscence of any valid MC to pick, then choose OU by default. Also, if there is 16 teams, then doing like 4 groups of 4, results on 3 weeks of Group Stage, which would be too little. It could increase to 6 if follow that, with teams having home and away games. It could open even a way to earn funds by auctioning host venues for teams(Any team that didn't pay for an different venue pick vermilion by default) Edited October 7, 2024 by caioxlive13
