Following on from this thread, I thought I would make a quick poll for people's views on BR.

I do not wish to enter a debate about whether BR should or should not be in the formula. We know it exists and we know it is used.

The question is, would you like to view everyone's BR?

I would also like to see TBR... ie a Team's Blackbox rating.

There are ups and downs to viewing BR...

One benefit of viewing it is bragging rights if you're doing well.

One benefit of not viewing it is it puts less pressure on each match and makes it more about having fun and less about rating.

The real question comes down to what the point of the [B] division is... If it's meant to be another division which is highly competitive then viewing BR would definitely make it that.

If it's more of a relaxed fun division where you are just playing to get quick/fair games and it's not important about rankings etc. Then it isn't necessary to be viewed and it is just used as a modifier to make these games "more fun". In which case I guess It shouldn't be viewed.

I voted "Don't Know" Smile

What is obvious from the other thread, is that I would like to view BR.

BR gives a real indication as to the level of a coach, when compared to say CR, which we all know could be elevated, to a degree.

Also, for thost like Forrest_gump who consistantly have over TS each match, it may just give them that will to carry on, knowing the reason for it and at least having the benefit of sitting near the top of the BR tree.
