It is only occasionally that I stick my head above the ramparts to have it blown off by the waiting horde but here goes.
Would it be possible to have all tournaments open to both B and R teams? Due to the nature of fixed matches, the B teams aren't stepping outside the bounds of the Box to pick easy matches. With the new TV and TW systems it should be very possible for B teams to compete.
As has been said many times before, B and R are going to be kept separate to allow coaches the option of playing how they prefer - but as long as a team is legal within the bounds of the rules of a tournament, shouldn't we all be treated equal for consideration as we all accept the rules of the tournament when we apply? |

Why should all majors bee open to boxteams when all majors aint open for ranked teams. Box have their own majors and ranked their own. The only major that both can compete in together is the fumbblecup |

I have no issue with the idea of R teams competing in B tournaments at all.
Wow, way to miss the point. |

I agree, I'd like for B teams to able to participate in all the majors. Another possibility would be to have only a limited amount of majors (4-5?) that are open to both divisions and then smaller, capped tournament that are played inside the divisions. |

"Could we make majors open to R and B teams?"
"Majors aren't open to R and B teams, derp." |

This was a one-time deal according to PurpleChest. Do try to keep up. |

I do like the idea of The Big Five being open to all, as it would make them the definitive big events, even more than they are already.
Realistically, I do see a couple of practical problems with that though:
- Diminishes importance of B Majors, which would probably be better off scrapped. Which would be a shame.
- If they're not scrapped, it becomes a very crowded calendar.
- In situations where sorting by Tourney Weight to get down to the required number of entrants, Box teams could be at a disadvantage due to the tougher environment for team building/preparation. |

I don't see why there are not more cross tournaments, It was a big hit. Was it really that hard to manage?
Due to the way the box works, you can't really have R teams in a B tournament. However I see no reason why the reverse is true.
Sure the B teams are harder to build, and might not do as well. But hey if they want the option. I'll cheer for them. |

I think they should be kept seperate, with the exception of the fumbbl cup, that way that cup stays special and it makes it the biggest most important major of the year. |
