Don't get offended too fast, nobody's gonna take your precious seat. From the game manual:
-------------------------------------------
Manager Popularity (NT's)
Dissatisfied with your national team manager's performance? Express your opinion by casting your vote on whether you approve or disapprove of the way he or she has been handling the team, using the Manager Popularity box on the team's overview page. For the benefit of the National Team and the community as a whole, if more than 10% of the users per country will vote negatively and reduce the popularity of the national team manager under 25%, a replacement procedure is automatically starting (with next-in-line election candidate being used as a substitute) . For countries with less than 100 users a minimum number of 10 votes needed to kick off the procedure. The procedure will not take place only in cases when there are no available candidates for replacement.
------------------------------------------------------

Currently, there are 98 nations in BB World, of which 36 nations have 100 or more users, 21 nations between 20 and 100 users and a total of 41 with less than 20 users!

A current system (procedure for bad managers) functions like this:
Nations with more than 100 users (36) - if more than 10% of active users vote negatively AND total popularity drops below 25%, a procedure is kicked electing second-best ranked manager in elections.

Nations below 100 users (62) - if at least 10 negative votes are collected AND total popularity drops below 25%, a procedure is kicked electing second-best ranked manager in elections. There needs to be updated game manual to clarify is the second criteria needed.

A new proposed system (procedure for bad managers) would function like this:
Nations with more than 100 users (36) - if more than 10% of active users vote negatively AND total popularity drops below 25%, a procedure is kicked electing second-best ranked manager in elections.

Nations between 20 and 100 users (21) - if at least 10 negative votes are collected AND total popularity drops below 25%, a procedure is kicked electing second-best ranked manager in elections. There needs to be updated game manual to clarify is the second criteria needed.

Nations below 20 users (41!) - if at least 50% of active users vote negatively AND total popularity drops below 25%, a procedure is kicked electing second-best ranked manager in elections. There needs to be updated game manual to clarify if the second criteria is needed. Now, it is difficult to interpret.

I don't know if this was done purposely, but it is too hard to get bad manager sacked if a country has 5 or 15 active users and 10 negative votes are needed for change. Also, when electing a manager, oldest first should be replaced with highest ranking first. What do you say on these two proposals? And why?

Also, when identifying good candidate managers for small countries, neither your or mine opinion matter, but of active players in those countries. However, what we can possibly agree on that matter is that best ranking first is probably better option than oldest manager first where there were no votes given.

I really think that we can eventually agree on this one. That the opinions of active managers in those countries should matter the most. If however no votes were given, the proposed solution above should replace the current one.

Also, in most cases even those active managers in small countries do not know where to vote (for reasons of lack of knowledge of all game functions). The solution for this is an active notification in news section above development calendar with link to the election page - while the election is in progress. That is a way to animate them to vote.

Thanks Perpete! :-)

Also, please leave a vote and opinion if needed here: http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/forum/read.aspx?thr.... I have created a new thread for the sake of summarizing and poll.

I would agree that Oldest doesn't necessary means Best. Most of the time it isn't.
So when no votes are casted, or when both managers receives equal number of votes, I think the tie-braker should be the World Rank.

If I'm in a small country and have no clue who to vote, most probably I would go with the world rank.

Leave a vote in new thread (link in message above). :-)
