Would it be possible to see a serious reduction in supporters for consecutive forfeits? I can understand that someone might forget to set a line-up once or twice in a row, but after that the fans should start to revolt.

A team that forfeits a home game should get $0. Imagine if you had a few thousand fans show up and pay to get into the arena. They aren't going to be too happy to see a bunch of beer-bellied lucky fans out on the court playing the real team. In addition, arena expenses should be increased to account for higher premiums for riot insurance.

Of course, if it were a home cup game, the visting team would still get paid, but this money would come from the home team. The same should happen for a forfeited road game. If I were the home team, I would have to refund all my ticket revenue.

A TV network is not going to be happy at all. They're going to switch to a backup game. So maybe some other game in the league should be become a bonus TV game, and the teams get the TV revenues go to those two teams. Alternatively, TV revenues can be thought of coming from a season-long contract, even though they are paid after the 3 games. So fine the team that forfeits any league game should be fined 3/22 of the TV revenues of a game, plus perhaps some penalty.

Further, it should be impossible to reduce the size of the roster below some reasonable minimum, such as 10. No transfer listing of players if the roster would go below 10 if they sold, and the same for firing. To prevent teams from being locked in and not being able to sell a player in order to be able to bid on a player, let teams bid up to $5000 regardless of their financial situation if they have less than 12 players on the roster.

This is no advantage at all... By this speed, he needs at least 2 or 3 years to buy decent players, I say decent, not stars... Plus, he's probably going to a lower league, that means even less money from TV games and supporters... Believe me, he couldn't easily fill 17 000 seats Arena even if he plays in the 1st league, I can't imagine how he's going to use it in 4th league...

And his maximum earn will be maybe 1.5 million $ per season, and that's enough for maybe 3 or 4 good trainees...

Agreed...problem solved.
