We already have explain why we choose this rule for captains in the eurobowl proposed ruleset.
We count on the captains to be worthy of their situation and not to propose teams of mercenaries representing badly their Nation. We know the difficulty of some teams to be complete, that is why we do not impose native quotas on the number of coaches composing their team.
Your anxiety is understandable but we all know that problem won't appear this year. All the 10 teams represent their nation and the tourney will run as good as in the past .
So theoretically, you're right but concretly the captains organize their team in reasonable way.
Sweden won't win this year and even if we need a freebooter team this year (if team wales would be completed) I would arrange myself to freebooter team has no chance to win the tourney.
When we created Eur'Open we made it open to everybody in order to to share this pleasure with all non selected coaches who are involved in our growing community .
I support the idea that eurobowl belongs to all. We are all connected: without blood bowl community, no tourney, nor national leader, nor national team, nor Eurobowl. Let them share this moment with us.
At this point, we can't change this because, the flights and the hotel are booked . As you know organizers have finacal responsability and few means .
