Well, on the plus side, my additional income the last two games was a huge $ 200'000 (for both games), I probably got 2 1/2 - 3 additional Trainingsessions (Training 2 Positions, e.g. C, PF), I think that amounts to about one pop for one player...

On the negative side, my Starting SF got injured for 2 weeks (without buying a new player, I'm either out or the minutes for the others accumulate - meaning bad form), I have kept 2-3 players I would otherwise have sold (additional salary around $40'000).

Result: Gained $ 160'000 - Lost one key player for at least 4 league games, got 1 additional Pop.

So yes, I have made a bit of added revenue. But I can't see that this is giving me any huge advantage in my league.

And YES, I think I have earned it, the fun of playing B3.

If you had to buy additional players for B3, then you might well be looking at an economic loss instead of a small gain (160000 is not that much).

I do not think as B3 as a moneymaker, only for the top teams.

Future tournaments will only include the top division winner, the league champion, any former B3 champion, and the reigning World Championship manager.

The only reason the tournament is so large this season is that any team that would have qualified had the tournament existed got to play.

And yes, there is indeed a bonus for winning a lower division, namely a season ticket holder boost and the increased revenues from being in a higher division.

As I understand it, the size of this BBB is a one-off event. Since it's the first one, they included all the winners from all of the previous seasons and allowed them to participate. After this, it will be only two teams (or one) from each country. The winner of I.1 and the tournament champion.

Hmm, I don't see that I wrote anything about BBB being financially disadvantageous. I clearly stated how much I earned in the first two rounds. I still think, this amount does in no way distort the competition in my league (or in any other), if you think otherwise, please give us some hard data instead of these "it is clearly evident" statements.

I like the BBB tournament (with income, training time and injuries), and I would like it even if I was not allowed to play!

I still believe that for some teams B3 is not at all a financial benefit.

I lost my 1st match and I had to play my C and PF way too much resulting in a Gameshape drop. This almost cost me my game yesterday and had I lost that one I could easily have lost more income in my next homegames than I earned in B3.

This is not quite like the Cup - because you have the same number of training spots even when you are not in the cup. In B3 you would have to buy extra trainees to take full advantage of the training. And once you were out - you would need to sell them again.

Let me suggest even something else that does not require an extra guy: out of the cup?
think a PG or your SF could use a round of inside shot? Go ahead and play them in your scrimmage at no cost. Yes, you'd have to blow some games in your main competition (or perhaps get temporary bacups for your PG and SF), but you could make up for it after you'd be out of B3.



Let me tell you simply - if you are using the scrimmage to train IS for a PG then the PG is going to be 3rd reserve at best... or do you expect BBB teams to just overplay their players in order to get training???

As others have said you start the week with great intentions and by weds you just hope you have enough of a roster left to field on thurs (scrimmage OR cup)

Of course now 6 players are easy to train... if you can squeeze 7+ or have a few players get 20mins with an outside chance of popping then this is better than nothing but i think it is very hard to plan to train 8 players...

Next week for the first time I can and should train my youngest 7 irrespective of my opponent.. my 8th youngest should also get decent court time too...
