winning one game is better then loosing 2, also for the fan survey.


If you are stuck in the middle you have to pick your spots and sometimes it is better to reach for the win on the road than count on your "guaranteed" win at home - especially considering the loss of income one can avoid.

Its losing and not loosing. Huge difference.

a relegation cost you more ;) And there you go with the save pick, if you are in the middle of the PO you might try it, but also a place there makes a big different and maybe 10k per home game next season. If you are sure you can win both go for the away game, or when the difficulty is the same but you need first go to the win when you are a team fighting relegations. As i already write "mostly" and "normally".

mind to ask why you cant stand long at Australia ABBL?


I assume the deleted answer was someone abusing me.

The ABBL teams have brilliant players at all positions. I was able to win and promote with a combination of luck and luck. None of my players were ABBL standard. So having made it I could have thrown every resource I had into surviving, completly draining my team and then probably being relegated anyway. Or I could tank. I tanked and with my tanking money I bought two ABBL standard players who are young enough that they can be on my team for at least another six seasons. My trainee is getting there slowly and approaching ABBL standard. By this time next season I hope to have three ABBL standard players and then buy another so hopefully have enough firepower to survive.

any expert can teach me how to survive in div 1?


I'm no expert of D.I, but I reckon it's not that different from D.III or D.II.

Be slightly better than the worst team in your conference and 6th team in other conference...:)

It's been said somewhere in all these posts already, but don't try to win every game. Concentrate on the games you can win and gear your ethusiasm and lineup towards winning these games and use the tougher games to build eth. and keep player's gameshape at a high level (ie: tank them).

Someone mentioned winning road games puts more fans in the seats but if your goal is to stay in D1, this is the last thing that I'd concentrate on. Just find games you can win, it doesn't matter if they're at home or on the road.

What happens if you can only win 3 games in your first season of div1? How else would to survive div1 then?

Game 3 of the relegation series in season 14 ABBL:(32426138).

Sometimes fighting for 5th place is just too taxing. Better to just take it easy for the whole season and buy up big for the relegation battle and hope for the best (even if you don't have home court advantage).
