Questions for all candidates:


What i think the major problem is, is not enough managers in Japan see the benefit of training a draftee from the ground up. Sure, its one thing to have outside managers train japanese talent, but the commitment is much deeper for people in their own country to train draftees to the NT team.


How would you envisage addressing this problem?
Given this problem exists, how will you work around it?
Realistically, what are your expectations for the Nippon NT in the coming season?

Thanks...
==================================================
Needs to Japanese BB active users, write in forums similar web games in Japan, inform the rest of the population about this wonderful game.
To make the manual "how to train young player" (But that's U21 manager jobs)
Reality is that Japan is one of the best 9 in Asia, the goal is place in the Top 6 (World Championships Repechage)

We get users in, but the problem is we don't retain them. We're at like... 1-in-5 as far as retention of new users. BB's simply not an easy game to start on... and it's especially tough in a small nation with no real support system.

Some stats on the Div. IIs...
II.4 is completely bot except for Albanian Mafia.
II.3 has 3 users (but one's going bot soon).
II.2 is half user, half bot.
II.1 has one bot (but one might go bot soon).

That means regardless of what the "official" numbers are, we have 39 users. Tho' one or two in the Div II's are in danger of going bot, and even in JBBL: there are 2 teams that might be headed the path of "computerized user".

We need to keep those that join. Or at least do better than we are.

Now: there were two more questions...

1/5 retention though I think is standard for BB globally. .

Pure guess work on that Wolph. Now, PLEASE stop attempting to answer questions I pose for candidates.
