The teams that qualified for the playoff final get an extra match to train for on Tuesday while the rest of the league wait for their regular Thursday scrimmage, why couldn't a Tuesday scrimmage be arranged as well

It's a benefit of remaining in the playoffs.

But you are given them an opportunity of playing 2 more matches, 3 in total that is a very big advantage.

Dude, i feel your pain. I finished 5th last year after failing onm hte last day of the season to make the playoffs.

It just made me work harder to make sure i wouldnt end up the same way again. I signed some cheap old players and it made all the difference. I'm now undefeated going into the playoff final.

It sucks but take it as an insipration for next season.

Yeah, the fact that the 5th place team gets no income and less games during the playoffs than the 6th and 7th place teams is one of the biggest flaws in BB. It just seems like there should be a home-and-home between the two fifth place teams during the playoffs to bring in some more revenue and have additional training opportunities. Very easy fix yet it hasn't been done.

I'm guessing it's because the BBs don't agree?

I'm not sure if that's supposed to be sarcastic reply or not, but I guess my point is it seems better to finish 6th (or possibly 7th) rather than 5th. By finishing 6th or 7th you get more revenue, more training opportunities, and the right to pick higher in the draft. Of course you don't have to fight a relegation battle, but all things considered I'd probably prefer to finish 6th.

If BB doesn't agree, I'd like to understand why.

...and you risk relegation.

No, it's not.

If it was something they felt was broken, they'd fix it.
