home team's an easy choice:

Normal - TIE - CT

Why? This hinges on picking up the first game. Likely, the away team normals and it's a game. Home team pulling off the first win sets up an easy choice to TIE the 2nd, in which the away team has to win, and then building enthusiasm for a home CT.

If the home team loses the first and both team's normal, they in some trouble, and have to CT the 2nd (and 3rd if it happens)

Last year I was the underdog but I won both away matches and lost the homegame.

I played CT-TIE-CT.

I used to think the same... but the fact that the choice is too easy makes it also too predictable :)

Look at last year final of italian div.II.3.
The home team (team A) won the first game normal vs normal (2189040) (68-67) and tied the second... but also Team B TIEd the second game, and won (2189041) (93-91)... and then won the third game CT vs. CT (2189042) (83-82)... ned (team A's manager) is still having nightmares about it :D

I guess there ain't a perfect strategy...

PS: This final series is the best advertising for BB... with all three games ending on the buzzer.

Seems risky.

CT the first game and lose, and it's pretty much over. CT the first and win, and you still have to win one more while your enthusiasm might already be spent.

Since CT damages enthusiasm so much, seems only a good idea when it's a do or die situation.

Guys, there is no 3 games tactics in advance. Everything is done in relevance to the results.
If you have two matches in your arena I think the best is to start the first with normal and if you win, you play TIE in the second and CT in the third and most propably you suceed, or you play CT in the second to finish early with the series. ( I prefer he first tactic though), but if you loose then you have no other alternative than to play CT in both the two remaining matches.
If you have two matches away I think two CT is the only possible way to win the series, based and in the boost of your home arena in the second match, with te presupposition that you will win the first match in your opponent's arena.
That's all from me

Of course there is.

You decide the attitude for Game 1 with what you will do in Games 2-3 in mind.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

That would be pretty foolhearty to CT the 2nd game after winning the first game. Not only would you lose the attendance from the third game, but also the extra training for your trainees.
