but i like the trophy more then loosing it in 3 games, i believe thats a big advantage ;)

And with only one poromotion place in 16 teams, or just one national championship per country this is worth pretty much.

Is this worth revisiting? The BB's changed the bbb tournament because of teams throwing games, but have ignored this aspect. Yesterday, the top teams in Canada, the US and Japan all fielded subpar lineups so that additional revenue (around $400 k) and training could be taken from the third game. I find this to be quite ridiculous that in the series finals, teams would would throw games, but the incentive to do so is too high (especially with the economic changes). By throwing the second game, I essentially receive almost half of my bbb prize money amount (with the bonus of extra training) with the extra game.

Perhaps a set amount could be offered as prize money for the finals series (say $1 million total for a first division league), with it distributed based upon the results. So a team that won both games would receive $800 k (and the losing team $200 k). But if the series went to 3 games, the winner would receive $600 k and the loser $400 k. Now a team trying to throw the second game would take a financial hit to try and get more training.

This would also make the arena sizes irrelevant for the finals, which would make sense since most of the money would be from television anyways.

Yeah, I'd rather see TB games give no money and no training.

another possibility is to make the PO in a cup modus, where you get no attendance revenue but price money for winning games/rounds depending on the league level(first league get highers prices then second and so on).

That needs to be fixed ASAP. Having never heard of this before, It is now my number one concern.

I think managers should be rewarded for winning in straight games...

I just hope we dont start punishing teams that need all three games to win.

I agree with incentive for who wins in two games instead of three,i don't agree about making a certain amount of money for finals,it is fair that who spend more money on palace have a bigger return on incomes in the playoff,which incomes are yet divided between the two finalist

Agree with Juice. No money or training minutes from game 3. Just HCA.

if the team with HCA wins game1 many managers will throw away game2 no matter what
it's not for the money nor for training, but to raise enthusiasm and avoid injuries
