it is comical but i think it is something we all have to live with... a few managers deliberately tried to lose game 2 and won!! those that were successful (in losing game 2) and couldnt sell out still make a lot more so unless they give a bonus for wrapping up a final in 2 games i think we can always expect a severe drop as otherwise its just free money..

in my case thats $361k..... not to be sniffed at.

i was going to open a thread to say exactly the same thing

game 1: 9905 fans
game 2: i lose
game 3: 7885 fans

2000 fans didn't come to see the final because i lost game#2? it makes no sense at all

i think attendance works well in regular season, but the last game result shouldn't count during playoffs

I would say that's why the attendance drop happens for Game 3.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Puh-leeze... no-one but you is going to drink the koolaid on this one. The fan survey is clearly not operating sensibly in this case. Hopefully a three-game finals scenario is added to whatever test suite the fan survey algorithm is tested against.

I'm commenting on the attendance, not the Fan Survey.

I think there can't be an algorhytm to decide whether the owner is smart or dumb if the result is the same.

In additon nobodfy prevents you from tanking Game 1 instead (smart or dumb dilema again:) )

uhm... why everybody keeps responding like that? I DIDN'T TANK ANY PLAYOFF GAME
i LOST game#2
it was an even matchup, i played normal just to have enthusiasm 8 instead of 6 when playing game#3 at home

CT, TIE and normal is different in playoffs, attendance is different in playoffs, i think the "losing a game" effect could also be changed to be different for game#3 of the playoffs finals

can you imagine fans staying at home in game#7 of the NBA finals just because their team lost game#6? come on...

Exactly. There is absolutely no reason why Game 3 of the finals should not be the most attended game of the season. Losing 2000 fans because of a Game 2 loss defies any reasonable logic.

There is a reason - as it was mentioned. Having a longer series shouldn't be much better than win in 2 games. Exstra game is extra profit. No matter if you try to lose or it just happens.

I should add that I'm not advocating anything in this case. I just think that there is a reason. If the benefit from an extra game is such a big deal I can't tell.
