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!

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


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.

should be the same for the offseason for the guys who loose first po round, could be also a good dynamic solution for the problem.

Imagine the insight I'll be able to provide by Christmas in that case.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

its prob a silly idead but why not make the 2 5th placed teams get the first draft picks and then go normal after that.

yeah being 5th might lose out on money but your not get relegated and you get the first draft pick.
i think getting the first or second draft pick would be an advantage to finish 5th.

There are four teams that did not get a game for training and additional cash on Tuesday... the two 5th place teams and the two eight place teams. Only the eight place teams are guaranteed to demote to a lower division... are you sure you want to punish them more by taking away the top draft picks?

The real problem is that the teams in the relegation playoffs have an advantage (both in training and monetarily) to not only the 5th place team... but also (in terms of money and possibly in terms of training) to all but the two teams that move to the finals. [This assumes that the 6/7 teams go into the tiebreaker game.] Fix this issue (one game playoff?) and the disadvantage of being in 5th place is lessened. Give them an automatic scrimmage (with the 8th place team) on the first Tuesday... and the disadvantage with training disappears.

In that case, why not just remove the $$ from the relegation games? Then no one 5-8 gets any gate receipts. Perhaps they could all get some small but equal off-season revenue to get through those no-income weeks, but then at least people would stop throwing games to manipulate their position in the bottom half of the league.

Going off of your suggestion... if:

1) The Relegation series was a one game playoff (with no gate)
2) The 5/8 place teams had a forced scrimmage on the first Tuesday.

All teams would be in the same boat in the first week of training (everyone would get 2 games and have the scrimmage possibility) and none of the bottom 8 teams would get a monetary bonus. This seems fair.

[If there is a pressing need to make the relegation best of 3, I would suggest Tuesday, Saturday,following Thursday (instead of a scimmage) as it would keep all the teams on the same level for training.]
