As long as the income from scrimmages is (significantly) less than Cup games, that wouldn't be a problem.
A big reason why I like the idea of a small income from scrimmages is that it promotes networking and outreach in the game. The more teams we play, and the more games we play, the more involved we become and the stronger the game could become.
So I like the idea of having scrimmages with a small income, split in half by the two teams. Maybe each team should make something like $10k (the same as the cost of scouting 2 players).
And for the teams that only have, like, 7 players, well you don't need to make money since you're saving so much by not paying for a roster with 12 or more players! What you save is more than what the income should be for a scrimmage.
That's my opinion, and my vote for a small income for scrimmages.
Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!
