BBs have stated that many times but really do you believe it? Coming 4th instead of 5th could cost you normally about $200,000 right away in division II and a lot more in the ABBL. Maybe next season there will be some slight difference in your weekly income but around $20,000 a week, no way. Even worse the $200,000 you get now can be used to build your arena, but a new player, get a trainee at the start of the season and so it worth a lot more than $20,000 extra you might be getting 14 weeks later if it is even true.

There is no doubt in my mind that if you aren't in with a chance to promote that 5th is better than 3rd or 4th.

As for 6th or 7th it really depends on your opponent. Last season Kynlala Knights got to milk the bot Canberra Crushers for a 3 game series, that must have been worth a windfall of close to half a million to them. Having to fight against Docs Patients, Steves Crocs or Phoenix 5 is not as much fun unless you feel very confident about your roster and finances.

dont forget the extra game for training if you finished 4th or 6th.

this is huge as you dont suffer the training penalty of being 1 year older and 1/3 of your training is lost for 2 weeks = 1 pop lost for one of your trainee.

As someone who will finish fourth, this has been an interesting thread to follow! I have worked out I will lose 200k, assuming a full house against Vic (also assuming Vic stays on top!!).

I would rather be 5th for cash reasons, but the extra game for training is ok too, but the cash is a killer I agree.

Not that this will happen this year, but what if 4th wins both games and makes the big dance? Is it worth it then?

Hopefully they tweak the formula some more.

If you make the finals it is worth it but just making the SF is proably not depending on how smart and good the arena is of your opponents. It is 1/3 + 1/3 but there are higher turnouts for playoff games even though the BBs say there isn't. The extra game for training may be good...but if you had two scrimmages you could train out of position easily and get everyone 48+. for a playoff game you will probably be playing your best lineup (and not your young trainees) so it may not help the overall training that much.

Valid query. I think you would be looking at a week of losses, followed by a possible break even (if it goes to 3 games in the final) or another week of losses.

2 away games per week during finals, is not enough for me to make a profit. I'd need at least a home game and an away game minimum. That wouldn't net me a huge profit either.

The critical thing for me is do you have a chance to win? If you do then forget the crippling financial losses of coming 4th and embrace it. If you don't have a chance then 5th is so full of win.

That's what you get for making it so massive! Imagine the income you'll bring in if you are successful to reach the ABBL next season!

... still really unfair I pay out 150k++ per home game to the other finalist and I only like 50k when I do play at their homeground.
