i don't see your part, how you respond that the weaker placed team, lose the extra gained money through the coming season and even more.

That is the BB way of making bonuses.

1) I've already answered that - this is a good solution, that approve that the situation (w/o this compensation) is wrong.

In addition I've wrote that I think that it would be better giving them "straight" and not by unknown random money received in the following season (i guess you mean tickets related).

2) Due to the fact that I've got an answer that is (partialy) sounds reasonable for the first part, could you please answer the second part (regarding the RL round) that I've wrote?

Thanks!

about two, i don't see that much need for change because in nearly all cases finishing 6 instead of seven is bette rof home court. A three game relegation series could change that, because if you play on neutral court 7th placed and team who reduce their roster during the season and buy a good one at the end get an advantage(the opposite scenario then yours, which should be even more popular), and 6th and 7th have the same risk of relegation. The other hc scenario i could think off is the team with better standing, which isn't always fair to because of the inbalnaced divisions. With the better record i can think of, but i don't think it will it much fairer or unfairer then before.

And i am not sure if you know it, we GM help the game in the administrativ way like moderating the forums or hunting cheaters but when we don't post stuff like "get back to topic", "cool down" etc. our opion is the of a normal player. So our opions we post on your suggestion isn't more or less important or more needed then the input from other playrs without the GM sign.
And before you ask, the BB post rarely in the suggestion forum, because if they post they normally change the way a topic get discussed but they read it.

Basicaly this is the answer I've expected - Defiining a place that will be easy to find.
Thanks.

Regarding the second issue, I've already answered it - the risk is not relevant (and not presice).
The price needs to be upon teams acheivements that season.
[And as answered there is a vague manipulation that it will be so, but the Q is why not clear and known, by a fee or a price upon the team place at the end of a season?]

The last part is regarding the RL-PL time only.
Currently there are 2 or 3 games between 6th place VS 7th place teams.
I suggests to have a short round of three games between each team who ended 6th and 7th.
By that the best two of these forur teams will stay in the league and the other two will drop.
In current status there are cases that it isn't so, as my example in previous message explains..
As you understand there is no shortening of the season, the season's length stay as it is now.

1) Regarding the first part, I disagree.
It is not a chance that someone took and should get awarded due to.
It is a better team getting less money regardless of the risk.

Its not a matter of a better team getting more money but a team taking the additional risk of being relegated. There are better rewards for finishing higher up. Its risk free to finish in 4th. If you finish 6th, you might get more income but you also run the risk of relegation. One injury to your star player is all it takes to relegate! In addition, 4th have better income the following season.

Its not about a broken game engine. The whole point of this is that it allows choice. It is a calculated risk that the manager can make if he wants to try finish 4th and get more income in the long run or try finish 6th and get more short term income and run the risk of relegation.

2) You missed all of my second suggestion - three games' round of all 4 teams that got to the relegation round.
This is better than matchup between 6th VS 7th as the winners an lossers of this round will more likely be the better teams, unlike the current scenario where a team may suffer for an unfair event like stated in previous message at this thread.

Again this comes down to planning. You can try avoid certain positions and unfortunately in the world of sport not all rules are fair. You might be drawn against tougher opponents all the time.Rather than trying to change the rules, managers need to plan and try achieve what they think is best for their teams within the scope of the rules

I'll try to further explain what I mean about this second issue;

1) The court advantage stays.
The RL round will be played on one of the teams court, but upon their acheimements in the regular season.
So, this doesn't compromise the game in this sense.

2) When each team plays each other it is a better chance that the better team stays.
Again, take a look at my league and you will see that I had luck to get the worse team of the two although I finished 7th.

On the last paragraph you wrote, I just wanted an answer and didn't get one, so I've asked the one who answered regarding the first issue also to take a look at the second issue.


Because you brought it up, I've also wanted to ask why when someone reports a cheater he doesn't get an email back with the result of the check.

Thanks for your response

Why do I make LESS money in the playoffs? It seems stupid.

If your tickets are priced right you're selling out 99% of your seats anyway, so where would the extra income come from?

It is EXTREMELY stupid that I can pay my salaries all season but when I get to the playoffs and win my funds go negative.
