Would be great if there exist any event for the conference participators. Guess which team will go into higher league in first month of the season, would make things even more interesting and those who would guess right, would get any small tip-winmark on the teampage (even non-supporters).

Which would make conference communication and rivalry between top teams, even more alive.

Yeah I like the idea, makes it more interactive between members in the league. I think the prize should be a small cash prize or something.

In most smaller countries the clear leader will be the team that demoted from the higher division.

Because of "I'm gonna lose in the last round because I want that tipmark". Different users have different aims in the game an any motivation to influence the outcome of match/league unsportsmanlike way is genrally bad.

That is why I said small cash prize. If it is a small cash prize, no one is going to intentionally lose in the final just to get that small cash prize, it is much more worth their while if they promote.

So once again, why would it be bad to give the winner of the guess a cash prize? Perhaps make it that it costs 10k to guess, and you get 25k if you get the guess right.

Some people wouldl going to intentionally lose only because they could and "hey, I said that" kind of satisfaction. It's internet after all:)

I suppose, but I think this would be a rare occurence, and even if they did throw the game it wouldn't really matter. No team will get a significant boost.

.


you don't have to lose the Po, but maybe you intentional loose against your favorite in the regular seaoson and try hard to beat his rivals ;) Especially in the last maybe unimportant games.

And if the cash price so small that it is unimportant he won't attract and you could leave him, else it would be important and would have a impact in some leagues.

I believe this suggestion is something the BB must not help. it is more something the league should work out in their forums :) Because it is only intresting for the discussion about it in my eyes.
