Great work!

too bad not to see the biggest French-speaking fumbbl league on this list, the JBL, Jupiler & Budweiser league.: https://fumbbl.com/p/group?op=view&group=15085

Posted by Sharkrudi on 2022-05-29 13:33:51

I also wonder how the number of active coaches in a league is calculated, currently the JBL is displayed at 25 active coaches and yet the last seasons have been played with more than 40 coaches.

Posted by razmus on 2022-05-29 13:50:39

Thank you for bringing JBL to my attention -- the last link I had for it was (https://fumbbl.com/p/group?op=view&group=8641), I didn't see the link to the new group and it looked inactive. Please accept my apologies -- that was entirely my fault, I'll add it now.

I used broad ranges for "Active Coaches" specifically because groups tend to fluctuate wildly within a band. Looking at JBL right now, it appears to be in the Large (36-70) range.

Posted by Sharkrudi on 2022-05-29 16:26:42

;) no problem Razmus, we had changed the JBL group page on the way to bb2020 in order to be able to finish season 28 in bb2016 while launching the draft and season 29 in bb2020.
