Would any 5th place teams truly prefer to risk relegation in order for an extra game's payout?


I do, this season at least, because of the big differences between conferences. Not just for the money, but also for training minutes and draft pick. In a harder conference/division I would think twice about it (but still consider it).

One way to limit the desire to end 6th/7th is to punish the teams season ticket holders. That would keep me away for sure.

i would say as stronger the leagues get, the more effective is this strategy ;) Because you normally pay alot of salary in such division ...

I also doesn't scared that much through relegation, because i think i could come strnger back to the top division with my roster.

This is going to be addressed as part of the offseason changes. However, we really do not see it as poorly balanced; 5th place teams have no chance of being relegated. Would any 5th place teams truly prefer to risk relegation in order for an extra game's payout?

I do. and I know a lot of other italians user who thins the same as me.

cheers :)

If you're going to give money to the 5th place team, then it better be less than what the 4th team gets (1/3 of the 1st placed team ticket sales). And that's not much at all.

The 4th place team has a chance to win the championship.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Yep, I know. My point is that, I think if you give money to the 5th place team, then 4th place team would start losing league games to place 5th if they think they have no chance against the 1st place team. I prefer the status quo.

If you finish 5th you have zero chance against the first place team.

Obviously. But aren't the people complaining about $$$? They obviously don't care about the fact that they can get relegated if they're in 6th place.

Some teams don't need to care about that as they will easily beat the 7th placed team in other league, especially as it is best of 3 matches.

One suggestion would be to make the Relegation matchesbest of 1. In that way, it would be more risky than best of 3 to go there, and much less income!

i fight for the fourth place with a ct, if the 5th place is more economic i wouldn't do that.

At least when it wa spossible to get 6 insteat of fourth or 3rd i would do that to, but my rivals was more consequent in messing up games.
