i want to see a big tournamentt(maybe league like) against relegation, where the 5th and the 8th place could be part of. because 2,5 weeks without any serious game are some kind of boring.
Maybe the fith and 6th got an advantage in those tournamen with more homegames etc. -

I don't think we will see that soon. After all the logic that the last placed team drops, and that a 5th placed stays is more than obvious, it should not change in my opinion.
I'm sure there are much more interesting solutions available.

I'm not sure, but i think i have seen a post from a bb that they want change the long time without serious games ...

I'm not sure how they handle it, but i think it is the right driection when they are doint something against this long break.

actually this break is not so long, it's only 2 weeks...
In the meantime you still can train.
Since we all know in advance it will be 2 weeks without incomming money, we all can plan ahead. Most teams have a TV game towards the end of the season, if they are smart enough they don't spend it but keep it for the end of season break. It should be more then sufficient to cover those 2 weeks...
It realy should not be any economical problem, and training is still possible, so I can't see the problem here.

My last game was on saturday 19th, thats 3 week betwenn the game and the next week game because i got 2 saturdays without a serious game.

Since we all know in advance it will be 2 weeks without incomming money


i got enough money to get through this time, but that won't change that it was boring especially if you had to loose your scrimmage to max the maximum of your training if you don't like to train your team.(blowout rule)

And what is when you start one week before you had to wait 3 weeks till you get your first real game, and those teams got problem with money too.

My main problem ain't the money, but in this phase i loose around 300.000$ and the 5th and 6th teams come along with +/- 0€ - so that it another unfair thing ...

Edit: i forgot the extra training, which was money too ;9

In my opinion it should be the playoff teams that only play 2 games a week during playoffs, for two reasons.

One, with playoff teams getting more training time isn't that making the spread between poor teams and good teams wider? Second, Playoff teams, at least in real life, would be far too pre-occupied with PLAYOFF games to play a scrimmage match.

Just my opinion.

i like the idea of 5th playing 8th in your own conference, then the following week play the 5th and 8th teams from the other conference.

or maybe their could be a new clause in the players contract stating that the players only get X% of their salary on weeks that they do not play a competitive game. X could be 60% or so

I totally do not see why this would be necessary...

8th place: you perform bad this season, there is no reward in money, and you get regelated, pure punishment!
5th place: Your team did not perform well enough to make the finals, but you are safe from relegation, this cost you, no income for your team, but you are safe.
Relegation game teams: you have a chance to be relegated, your team could not make the play-offs, but it has chosen to take some income and risk relegation, you are not safe, and therefor can earn some money. Note this money will not be that much since teams that ended low are playing each other and this does not bring so many spectators afterall!! It is falsly thought by 5th ending teams they make tons playing those few games, well they are not...

Seems prety okay to me.

That is weird.
You know the income for my semi finals game was 29k ??

I guess in leagues where everyone has big arenas the income might be a lot, but tell me... how much are there around? 10? I think not even that much. So in most cases....
