With the new rule that teams dont have to pay salaries if they have no competitive game, fifth place has just become much more interesting than place 4 and the income you get from 1 playoff game (in most leagues I know the no1 seed crushes the no4)
I don't know if this was the best idea to "upgrade" the 5th place.
Sorry for dumping, but it would be nice to see some results of this bad suggestion that came as a new change;
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/205/overview.aspxA team of my conference(C3POS) giving up a game to finish on the fifth place. The other fifth of the conference did the same, he gave up the important matchs against the fourth. If you scout more leagues i'm sure there are a lot of cases like this one.
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/191/overview.aspxFrom the spanish Div 1.
The team airsjordans that was on the 3rd position is losing just to try to finish as fifth too. Last match of the season is against Vargas(the fith).
What happens if both teams make a W.O. just to try to finish 5th? Pathetic situations.
Is that what BB's wanted? This change is encouraging the teams to lose, not to win lol
