CONGRATS to all Best of the Rest winners!
Michal retained his Classic Contest title & won his 5th title in 10 seasons!
I appreciate each player for their participation ~ THANKS!

Recently we started conversation if BoR should continue, reduce the number of Classic Contest rounds etc. More to discuss / decide after a bit of rest (BoR)!
Cheers!

Thank you Pat for all your hard work with BofR over the years. It is not the easiest comp to manage, by a long way.

Unless anybody offers to take it up, and I don't think anybody else has come forward, I suggest we retire it. BUT, could I suggest instead that we maybe introduce a couple more domestic cup comps ? An example could be the EFL in England, the Dutch Cup or AN Other popular league where we only have the main division.

I'd like to add
- Romanian Liga I (as 2nd place after the most recent poll)
- EFL Cup aka Carabao Cup (because this will win a Cup expansions poll anyway)
and start a Cup expansions poll for the next season.

EFL Cup would be a great addition. A long overdue expansion, given the number of UK players on here.

As for other cups, I think we should go the 'domestic league popularity' route in our selection. I guess realistically it would be Netherlands or Portugal but Poland could be the dark horse given Ekstraklasa is now the most popular league outside Big-5 on our comps list.

After addition of Romania, I think we will just have one more league to eye in the future, and that would be Serbia, unless any other league visibly (and permanently) jumps up in the rankings. Otherwise, we are fully packed! Unless we refresh the idea of LaLiga2, Serie B and Ligue 2 additions. I'd fancy all of them but I remember quite negative opinions from the past but that was many years ago.
