Hi,I was very surprised to see that I got 50/50% split income for my playoff game even though I finished first in my group. I know there was an announcement telling about it. it was issues 11th this month. 8 days before the playoff. I did see it but I thought it was just a reminder. Not an immediate change. According to the message that was issued in beginning of this season only 3rd of 4th places had a 50-50 split while 1st and 4th should have had 66-33"Many people in the BuzzerBeater community have suggested that some teams attempt to land in fifth place at the end of a season, often losing games intentionally to drop down from fourth place so that they don't have to pay player salaries for a week. In response to this, we're changing the end-of-season distribution of finances: Starting this season, instead of paying no player salaries, teams in fifth place will be required to pay 50% of player salaries for the first playoff week. In addition, as an incentive for third and fourth place teams, playoff attendance revenue will be split 50-50 between the two teams instead of 67-33 in favor of the home team."Be serious - such changes should be delivered on time and not 8 days before the playoff. it effects a lot of teams. All is fair, as long as you give us a heads up.
The announcement indeed was a clarification, and apparently a necessary one. But how exactly are you surprised? If fourth place gets 50% revenue from their game, how much did you expect to be left over for the first place team if not 50%?You are very right - my bad. I didn't understand the original message. Thought it was 50-50 split only for 2nd vs 3rd. I was mistaken.But having said this - did something change or not? original message talked about first playoff week while "new" message says all playoff games...
