I have tried a few halfhearted attempts at BBT before, but this season I was sure I was going to finish - but now I am not so sure.
It was not three terrible dicing that made me waiver - it was the stunty games, and particularly the stunty mirrors. Maybe, BBT is just not for me, but I heard it was supposed to be a top competitive system, so I was intrigued - a bit disappointed but intrigued.
Are you “forced” into using stunties every season?
I am not sure how I would feel about playing stunties, if 3/3 of my stunty games was not mirrors, probably slightly better.
In any case I would very much like to see more points in BBT. To allow for realistic non stunty teams. |

No, you aren't, that's a compositional choice under restrictions. You could try a 3-3-2-2 composition instead of a 4-3-2-1 |

The matchmaker does favour stunty mirrors - it is what it is. |

Also, this is the very first BBT with BB2025 rules and GW tiers have been used for purpose of calculating the squad points to spend.
Before the next BBT the point costs will be recalculated according to the stats gathered in this BBT in progress. |

Snotlings suffer more than other stunties to the mirror match issue, you are probably floating below the scheduler threshold for most non stunty teams. I bet if you added an additional RR you would get more diverse matches.
I can't say that I empathize with you, stunties are the best thing about BB  |

You have the option to make something like one semi competitive team that way. And you will block most future options. Seems like an even worse situation to put yourself in. You are not forced, but you are “forced” if you are a rational competitor. |

Seemed like the rational place to be, but I guess I didn’t account for having to play stunty mirrors |

That non-violence have been done with 11 point. The “forcing” of stunties seems deliberate? |

You just have to understand that there is a maximum TV differential, I think 300TV, that will prevent you from being matched. If my memory was correct and it is 300TV, that means you would only be able to match against 950TV teams and below.
I would also assume Snotlings are a popular choice this time, as they are incredible at 1 point. |

Your aren't forced to use stunties specifically, but the whole point of the squad system with the points is to encourage a spread of different teams, not everyone playing the same few teams, all the time. Ideally you should be able to afford one or two "good" teams, but you will also have to play one or two teams that aren't the best in the meta.
That's the intention, not a mistake! Have fun and do as good with each team as you can, the "good" and the "bad" ones. |

I don't know if it's rational to be bad with a tier 1 team and take it because it's tier 1, then also be bad with a stunty team which becomes obligatory. |

I am telling you, that I can’t have fun with stunties, and I am asking a question. I guess I can look in the tables and see how many stunties are usually in the top teams. And I can also just not ply BBT.
11 points would give plenty of diversity. My question is the forced stunty rate intentional? |
