well, i'm just speaking about the italian situation, i know only that situation. but, if the world cup champion country think what i wrote, i believe something is going wrong, don't you?


I'm not completely sold on the changes but I still want to wait and see what happens. We still don't really know the impact since we cannot predict the impact on ticket sales.

I'm still going to try to promote to division I in Canada. I have already expanded my arena twice in the past 2 weeks. I will keep cash on hand in case I need to expand more.

I figure that if I can sell out my arena, I should still be making more money than I did this season in division II. That's if I sell out.

And I know the Italian situation is just the same as anywhere else: not entirely known what the effects are going to be... Has it ever crossed the mind of all you DII and lower managers that by promoting your season ticket sales will explode? And that the only way to profit from the positive change in number of spectators is to play a game against teams with high fan bases? Guess what: that's also 1 division higher then your current 1. In my opinion the changes that are going to be made are to slow down the economie, so that the gap between divisions will be increasing slower then it has been the last couple of months, not to close it... But if you really want to stay where you are, and hope to get the same chance on promotion as you have right now, be my guest...

Since you have the best record in the DBA Pro A I'm not buying it.

If it was someone continually finishing 5th or 6th place, that (w/o seeing the entire ramifications of the changes), actually seems feasible.

that's it. the problem is the arena. not everybody have a lot of money to expand the arena from 5k places to 15k places. just a few teams have the arena bigger than 15k places in DI and bigger than 10k in DII.

anyway we'll see, good luck to everybody in the first 2 divisions.

I think that if people do not want to promote, the problem is with them, not the game. It is, if I am not mistaken, a G-A-M-E. If it's making people upset or whatever, maybe it's time to try a new hobby. Win, lose, or bankrupt, I am doing this for fun.
And it's pretty darn fun.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

the problem of many italian top teams is they never expanded their arena (at least not much) saying "it's useless" so those changes caught them off guard

considering the current way the attendance is calculated not expanding much the arena wasn't a wrong decision, because italy's top division is so equilibrated (does this word exist?) every team loses many matches

however i believe a promotion is always welcome

Exactly. If your way of playing until now doesn't fit the new rules, just adapt your strategy, and stop expecting it will be the other way around.

We have yet to witness how the new system for attendance will function, so predicting the end of the game and of the world as we know it is, at best, childish.

The Italian situation is nothing special, other than they are one of the bigger countries. Most of the teams in the higher divisions are playing since season 1 or 2, so they probably already have a bigger arena, or at least they could have since they are playing a few seasons longer than the teams in the smaller countries.
So in this case the Italians are the ones who won't be hurt that much by the changes compared to 'starting' teams.

And don't use the world champion as a false authority please haha ;)

I think your nearly 100% should be nearly 10%, that would be a better guess imo.
