Aha, the famous fixed amount gambit, eh? Thanks for the feedback. So I'm still going broke. Oh well. And I assume that is the only game that week, so the only game revenue? Or is NT considered the first game of the week? Or maybe it posts game revenue 3 times each week? Still concerned I shouldn't be going broke. OR, lol, do I pay players each game? Because current summary shows only 152k revenue when I played 3 games this week. Slightly confusing reporting page.

You get revenue from home league games, and a 50-50 split of revenue from playoff/relegation games. You get a set amount for winning a tournament game (50,000 for the bulk of the rounds). That's pretty much it. The weekly summary lists the expected revenue based on your last home game, but it's also important to remember you'll have 11 home games during a 12 week season, so you'll be paying one week more in salaries than you have attendance to offset it.

If you're losing money, the odds are that you are probably spending too much in salaries, either on players or staff or both. Looking at your roster, you're definitely carrying much more salary than you can possibly break even on in IV, so you'll need to do some serious calculation to see if you can afford to keep that much salary through the entire season in expectation that you're going to promote, or if you need to start trimming down.

The 152k would be the revenue from your home league game on the 18th. As mentioned you don't get attendance money from cup games.

So just a suggestion and i'm in your league so grain of salt, and you've been doing this far longer. You are so far and above the rest of this DIV4 league its not even funny. You'll win the division easily. There are 8 total players with salaries above 27K in our league.... you have 6 of them, Seattle has the other 2. You can win with a far less extensive roster and make more money, then buy players when you promote to D3 next year.

I paid 44K in salaries last week and I'm 3-0, this division is garbage, your team is overkill to win the division, so i wouldnt expect you to be killing it financially. Your side of the conference is far better than mine though... I'll likely finish 13-9 if my calculations are correct, making 3rd place and losing round 1.

Meanwhile I'll happily make 100K a week with a tiny, albeit expanding arena and make it to playoffs with my garbage team haha.

Best of luck!
