Yo have explained very good your position. But I think that the complaints are about the incomes, and not about the interenational competitions.

The B3 is only one point where we can see the problem. Is the B3 fair? Well, as you said, this only affects only the 0'2% of the people, so it isn't a big problem. Maybe it could be diferent, with another design (there are some proposals about previous matches for little countries... ) but I am with you: it's a small problem.

We are getting worried about the incomes in the little countries. In a big country it's not easy to find something like this:

(sorry, somdetsfinets, but you were the first example I found)

do u think i'll have the same economy power, lower or higher?

Everyone in your league will be competing under the same conditions, the $200,000 players will win you nothing in B3, and as soon as you start catching up in players, you'll lose your saving ability. And yes, in the process you will have better ability to buy players off the market, which is natural and expected.

the 200k players can't win the 3b?

i'll win with 30k players? -.-

however, i only marked the economic point, the 3b is a consequence

In your own League there is a team with a similar transfer history:

(25841)

The reason why Gachai have such a transfer history is not because they come from a small country, its because they have been a top League team since Season 3. Granada Stars have been in the Spanish Top League also since Season 3.

Another example: (22807)

Has been in the NBBA since Season 2.

The difference between a team like yours and Gachai is that you have had to battle from the fifth League to get to the top while Gachai had a team created in the top League.

2) We want to ensure that the top division in Japan will be competitive, and that a new team does not feel they will never be able to compete.

i'm very interested in this. is this happening with success? or the number of users in small nations is not growing as expected?

by your numbers, i read that 41 BB-nations out of 96 stil have less than 100 users. what were the numbers last year?

2) We want to ensure that the top division in Japan will be competitive, and that a new team does not feel they will never be able to compete.

This is a nice problem! Measures taken now seem clearly failing in its goal. Always taking the example of Japan, the competitiveness issue is simple in my opinion be read: as long as there is someone who can afford a stadium huge and full more huge because to win every game easily, the situation will not change.
We have a ceiling to the stadium box office on the basis of competitiveness of the league. The gap in earnings in the series tapers and the series overall growth and levels all.

Sorry about what? I don't care, man.
I am fully aware that I come from a tiny country with no community, no competition, no NT interest, and very little hope of growth because of no translation and no interest in the game of basketball here. Man, I got it made. It's so great.

ps- Check out Poland's first division where half the teams have a transfer balance of -7 to -13 million.

Your example is not the best and proves the difference between small and big countries:
Gachai has -21Millions and i just have -11Millions....why there´s a difference of 10M??? He could and can train easily his trainees while if i want to still remain as a top team in Spain, i can´t concentrate on my training for being competitive.

I think the transfer histories are somewhat inaccurate based on players that were once sold then turning into free agents. I am sure that the numbers credited to them after they are sold again from the free agent list distort the true figure. But hey, I might be wrong - my transfer history is too long to work it out from!

My previous points raised about even keeping the rules up to date have fallen on deaf ears and if we cant attract or retain new unique users in certain countries the divides will only get bigger in some international competition.

The constant digs v Japan are now getting tedious -Japan has flourished from the increased competition based on dedicated users that are committed. You can call us lucky, but I would wager that in our small community we have used the extra money that has come our way more constructively than most. You can probably count on 1 hand the amount of teams from small countries that started out in season 3 capable of breaking into our top 4 and this has also not deterred the chasing pack that started out 3 seasons or so later from enjoying the challenge of closing the gap. Our NT sadly isnt so strong but we've been holding our own floating between 30-40th in the world ranks.

Back to selling out arenas - the announcements by the BB's have always been cryptic throughout the seasons but it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that the key to success in this game early on was the first teams to build their arenas would benefit way ahead of those that sat and ploughed money into their roster instead. You dont need me to bore you with the maths but anyone still complaining they can't buy the right players or make a profit because of their arena needing to be expanded; sorry you get zero sympathy from me.
