Sorry to be off topic.

But I'm of the opinion the rule should be tweaked too.

1) posting players from retired teams
2) posting in your own national forums regarding NT prospects

I get that strict adherence to the no advertising rule prevent spam on player ads in the forums, but perhaps these two areas are a little greyer.

I think the first idea would not help anyone,because why you should advertise a bot player?The only reason i Could see would be to save NT prospect in little nations,but the U21 and Nt coaches can yet do it using moral suasion and/or saving directly the most promising players
On the second idea,I think that it should be only the Nt/U21 coaches to decide who are Nt prospect to advertise

i think rule one good sometimes help in discussion like here is an XP 15 player, or this dude have blocking 18 and just blocks 1 ball in every 48minutes.

Have you answered to the right thread?because this seems the answer to the "Highest Experience" thread :D

no i just give you examples, where it might be useful to give examples of player on the TL - and for retired ones there isn't the sitution that anyone profit from this ad.(when you say just don't post other player there might eb friendship advertising)

Sorry,I read uncorrectly your thought ;D

I think that sometimes the rule should be applied with more flexibility from GMs/Mods,because there are clearly cases where posting a player is not a way to advertise them.But it's more a rule application issue rule,then a problem in the rule.

Now the teams that finish 5, have advantatge over those who finish 4 or 3(normally the team with HCA wins) and i've seen some managers giving up some games to finish 5(which is not good for the competition).

I would like to see all those managers claiming that finishing 5 was a disaster( f.e. forum sugestions), explaining now why finishing 5th it's better than finishing 4 or 3rd. Did anyone think about the consequences of this change before introducing it?


When it's about economy, this game normally fails.


PD: Forgot to say that i also saw some teams that finished in 5th position, signing players with high salarys(centers) just to make day-trading and benefit from this change...

I think of all discussions at both salary systems old and new which rank is more profitable than the others. I think it could be designed so that higher rank is always more profitable.
My suggestion for system which could work starting from next season playoff:
1) no team will pay salaries during the last 2 weeks of the season (as it's designed for 5th and 8th at the moment)
2) no attendance money for playoff and relegation games
3) prize money (similar for system in B3 and cup games) for winning quarterfinal, semifinal, final (just for winning title not for every win in final series), the only question is, how high it should be and if it should different for different league levels (in my eyes it should be dependent in league level)
4) no prize money for winning relegation series
5) another reduction of TV money to compansate less expenses for salaries

6) eventually some small prize money should be for final rank in regular season, so that it make difference between 3rd and 4th, 5th and 6th (as 6th has one training game more than 5th)

Edit (after CrazyEye point)
7) transfer deadline for playoff should be 2 weeks earling than it's now

like it
Edit: i would like to have an earlier PO deadline then, because else you could buy salary monsters without salary.

Good point with salaries. 2 weeks earliers should be enough comparing to current deadline. But monster tricks are also discussed from other points of view in some other threads.

I made interesting estimate of attendance income, wage bills and profit/loss from attendace/wage for Big 8 in Czech Div I (I expect home win for quarter final and semifinal, I can recalculate it after the playoff and show real numbers):

1) BC Hostivař
wages 2 595 754 (1 297 877 per week)
attendance 1 890 000 (1 470 000 for just 2 final games)
lost -705 754 (and even -1 125 754 for final in 2 games)
2) Flumpaci
wages 905 951
attendance 620 000
lost -285 951
3) Planet Express
wages 532 167
attendance 205 000
lost -327 167
4) KINGZABA BLANSKO
wages 616 467
attendance 210 000
lost -406 467
5) BK Psions
wages 0 (usual weekly 560 112)
attendance 0
profit/lost 0
6) Wix Twix
wages 1 222 928 (611 464 without TB)
attendance 800 000 (480 000 without TB)
lost -422 928 (without TB -131 464)
7) Nightwalkers
wages 847 778 (423 889 without TB)
attendance 596 000 (438 000 without TB)
lost -251 778 without TB +14 111)
8) ABK Bohemians
wages 0 (usual weekly 427 991)
attendance 0
profit/lost 0

We can abstract for first 2 teams as they have much higher wage bill than the others, but #4 and #6 has equal wage bill, but #6 will earn much more money in next 2 weeks. #3 has lower salaries than #6 and will earn much less money ... #3 and #4 will lose money (even if they win quarterfinal and lost in away semifinal) whilst #5 is on 0.
I'm really not sure that such a huge difference will be compensated enough in next season by influence of I am pleased with the team's performance last season.

Edit: With new calculation it doesn't look as weird as before, except for 5th comparing to 3rd and 4th.
