Hi there :)
It may not be a priority for many managers but I think the cartel championship remains one of the best activities in VF,
I think that evolution on the subject could be good to make this championship more competitive,

Several possible ideas:

• Working on how to make the current championship tighter by reducing the number of agreements per Division, 8 / 10 / 12, to tighten the level of divisions, with much more possibility of climbing down and fewer agreements in soft belly.
  There's still the question of Ententes 2, a separate field?

• Work on how to distribute the clubs in the agreements better, so that more agreements fight for the top of the table,
  Reduce the maximum number of clubs that can play IE, say to 15/18, so each club playing IE would have to play 7/8, if this is not the case then each of the agreements would not necessarily play 100, but at the same time some agreements would be too crowded and some clubs would change agreement.

• ....
  It's up to you, but I think we could do better than we do at the moment, a lot of clubs don't play anything and that's a shame.

Sincerely

An 8-club field ie it's good like the championships
With D2 then d3....

"work on how to distribute clubs more evenly in the agreements, so that more agreements are fighting for the top of the table".

It's up to the clubs to have a bit of ambition and character, and to ensure that their average agreements progress towards the top rather than signing up to the 2 or 3 very big agreements in the game as soon as they don't get the results they want.

It's also up to these clubs to have the character not to recruit good managers from the medium-sized clubs if they want to see more competitive clubs.

It always amazes me that the people who are calling for competitiveness are in cartels that are doing everything they can to crush the competition.

Or we could take the problem in the other direction, as Aymeric seems to be doing, and reduce the total number of ie to be played for each agreement. Mechanically, there will be fewer managers playing ie in each agreement. On the one hand, some members will be forced to leave their current agreements if they want to play ie in D1. On the other hand, agreements that have 7 or 8 very good managers will be more competitive than at present because these managers will play a greater proportion of their agreement's ie's than at present.

As far as I'm concerned, when I talk about competitiveness, it's mainly about having matches that are a little tighter.

Because we see several teams programming an IE and :

• Not being connected to a single match (and to all the matches)
• Have a weaker-than-average team
• Use a no-bonus style to be well countered
• Give tactical instructions to the west and leave plenty of room for manoeuvre

I don't really see the added value of this kind of match in D1.

Hi, great idea

If we limit 2 agreements, one main and one sister, it wouldn't be bad for competitiveness. It would mean that a lot of teams who go for 2 or 3 because it's a better bonus would think twice before going.

It's a subject that's been discussed many times, and I get the impression that a good majority of us are in favour of having fewer agreements, at least in d1.

Aymeric wants more agreement on the game but there's talk of mergers everywhere.
With fewer agreements in the divisions, it's no longer worth continuing with the small agreements.
We might as well integrate a big agreement and call it a day

We are replacing agreements with micro-agreements.

5 members max - 25 IEs over the season
IS: 3 players/club + 4 for the coach = 16 players.

Divisions like the championships with a D1 of 8 and a D2 of 16 (two groups) etc...

The last two are replaced by the D2 champions.

A real $$ reward for the top 3 finishers (as in the championship).

The big teams are forced to explode, while the smaller teams are happy. There are more agreements: a45 is happy.

Anyone can try for the title with 4 friends of their own (or with 4 multis, because it's a cooperative game).

Each change in a club's agreement will have a snowball effect.

A carrot in the bag, fewer matches, 4 close friends: every match will be monitored and decisive.

At the end of each season, the champion micro-agreement is disbanded (because the mdj likes it that way) and the 5 clubs are drafted (because the mdj likes it that way) by the rising micro-agreements. [This one I'm less sure of 🤣]

We upset everything, everyone grumbles, aymeric disappears 6mois to celebrate. 🥳

So? 😎

Play with the MDJ's humorous sensibilities.
He's going to come like the taxman on your bank account 😅

🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you add to that the complete deregulation of transfers, a single squad transferred from club to club (which avoids problems of affinity) every 5 IE can do the job.

It's magic.

We could also go down to 12 agreements.

Put an emoji in front of it or say humour so it doesn't take me seriously 😭😂😁
