I know it's horrible that I'm apathetic because I'm a #5 seed this season, but... yeah, sorry.

perhaps increase the tv contract for teams that make the playoffs during the playoffs. Or making the road playoff teams pay 1/2 of their roster salary for week of the game.

Check the Suggestions they are important

The new system is better than the old system where coming 5th was brutal and 6th was the winning place to end up. Instead I think the two 5th should have one game "demonstration match" at a neutral arena, with each team getting 1/3 of the income and the other 1/3 going to the league. The two 8th teams doing the same. This would mean in the first round of the playoffs they would have a real game and pay salaries that week. It would give them another training game and put them in a similar financial position to 3rd and 4th.

i totally agree. TV money does seem like the best way. same as what i was thinking was, a PO appearance bonus depending on what division you are in. 100-150k for d.2 for just making the PO. although double only PO teams getting TV money seems like the way to go.

lets hope they solve this issue

I like it... +1

a- double ticket prices for playoff games. Whatever base setting is, assume fans paid double, but calculation of who attends or not is same. THen away team gets basically 2/3 and home gets 4/3.


So it is in real life...

Everything else leave it as it is now...

I think a team that makes the playoffs get a certain amount of money lets say 50k... so everyone that made the playoffs is gonna make some money out of it even if they are one and done..... and then they can do a 50k for each game you win in the playoffs.... and since salaries and stuff are different in each division they can adjust the prize money accordingly so not 50k for every single league cause i dont think 50k in div4 is the same as 50k in div1

I don't think playoff teams should pay salaries. Maybe have the playoff teams pay a penalty only if they are over the league average. For example...the league average in the JBBL is $436,346 and my salaries are $764,573. So I would only have to pay $328K next week. Since I have a road playoff game tomorrow, I will make around 200K( 33% of 600K) that and TV money and merchandising minus Staff...I would probably break even. but with the current system, I will lose almost 430K.....It really seems 5th is the best place to finish. Even last season I made it to the Great 8 finals and lost and still had a crappy fan survey....So please BB's..please fix this problem..

So just shop for playoffs? This is a really bad suggestion.

I have worked out that I am ~300k worse off this week just by finishing 4th instead of 5th. And I already have the 3rd lowest team salary in my league. How is it possible to be on average 30k better off in the 11 home game next season by finishing 1 place higher is beyond me. This is ridiculous. This is daylight robbery.

I suggest in PO you pay 1/2 salary for every game you play or something of this sort. The more games you play the more salary you pay.
