Very good proposal.

If I could tack one more change:

Finals, just one game. The first two rounds are knockout, why switch it to best of for the finals? Plus, it's less downtime for the 87.5% of the teams in the game that have to wait them out.

Currently i believe the favored spots to be in is in this order.

1-4 -> 7th -> 6th -> 5th -> 8th.

actually this is only true if you can get into the play-offs finals, if chances are slim you get the finals of the play-offs the list would more look like this:

1-2 (you have a chance for the finals, so good spots, draft will sucjk no matter if you end 1 or 2) -> 7th -> 6th -> 4th -> 3th -> 5th -> 8th.

We'll say that you actually want to be in the playoffs. Meaning that 1-4 is your number one favored spot over any other non-playoff spot.
1-2 doesn't necessarily mean you have a good chance at winning the playoffs. If you base your order entirely on income, then yes your order is partially correct. In your order it says that 4th and 3rd are definitely knockouts, which is not true. Furthermore we put playoffs as a higher priority then income. Therefor 1-4 are greater than any other non-playoff spot. What would you prefer? A shot at the championship or no shot at all? What if someone said to you: "Lord Doom, would you forfeit your playoff spot and take this 200.000 dollars or will you stay in the PO and compete for the championship and possibly earn a bit more or less than 200.000? Oh and i forgot to mention that if you forfeit your spot for the PO, you have a chance to relegate to the previous division...." What would you rather have?

In my opinion, that order still stands.

completely right, except you missed an IF in my post.
I said IF you have no chance to play the finals. (notice I also did not say win the play-offs, just get in the finals).
Ofcourse, 3 and 4 are not chanceless, notice I ended 3rth in my conference last season, and went on to win the play-offs.
I was just speaking in IF terms, and wanted to show the worst possible order that would be preferable for a conference team.

But, I must agree with your post 100%. To answer your question, I do not know. I'd start calculating... but knowing the size of my arena, I probably take the 200k, and then play relegation games wich will make me an other 200 or 300k. ;þ

The 200k you'll be recieving IS the 200k-300k of the relegation matches ;)

Why not just have #5 play the other #5 in the league, 1 home, 1 away?

this already happens. The point is there is no revenue from that game.

I keep to my solution to have relegation games become no-revenue games as well, it would solve the entire situation. It is prety simple this way as well.

nonono, not more money!
LESS money.
players are expensive enough as it is, no need to pump more money in the game, not right now anyway!
