In first division if you know you don't have the best team the 5th place is the best strategy you can choice. Imo the 5th place must earn less than the first 4th position, the last one is the worst one so he must pay for his weakness it means no money to him.

Next season the 5th place will give me 600k gratis, it means more than 2 home games income, it's really easy to imagine the hard battles on the last game tournament to be in 5th position, wow...

Got to say the salary decision is just plain weird.

We all know that the structure and rules cannot mimic real life despite the fact we all want to have rule changes that mirror a truer reflection of the real game of Basketball.

So its strange to read of a new rule change that says - some teams some weeks will pay their players wages whilst some teams won't pay player wages. There must be a better way to revise the numbers that doesn't have to deviate down this very strange route.

The BB3 rule changes seem to be what most were crying out for which I think was inevitable. The randomness of the draw will be fun and eliminate some favourites but the final 32 will contain enough quality that the best team will rise to the top to win the trophy.

NBA players get paid every two weeks during the regular season. Their whole salary is paid during that time. That looks a lot like the new BB. And I mean, a lot.

I think NBA players get paid per game. Hence the whole "suspended without pay" system.

That probably just means they are suspended and lose 1/82 of their salary.

Actually, this makes sense too.

The NBA is a bi-weekly pay schedule system, in which the money is determined by whether or not you are under contract during the previous two weeks. The total numbers of games is not included, unless a player was suspended for a game without pay i.e. breach of contract.

don't know how it is in the NBA, but in europe player usually get money for reaching targets. So a team, pays more salary(including Bonuses) when they reach the PO.

My favourite german teams, said last season that they loose money in a 3 games series(best of 3), through the bonus payment as the team who get homecourt in the 2 and 4th game.

I like the change, because maybe the 5th placed isn't that crappy then before, but the difference isn't that big through the extra chanches as 3/4 placed teams(who sometimes tanked to get 6 before that change) and the problem with the 6th placed team should be gone.
