Great comparison:
When Barcelona win the Champions League, UEFA give them the prize of about 40 M €.
When Man Utd won the Premier League, FA give them the prize of about 15 M GBP.
Premier League (I.1) in BuzzerBeater only competition without prize.

Interesting indeed, I'm going to be honest I'd never heard of a cash bonus to the winning team, we do not have that in America. I do agree with a bonus for winning D.I.

If money was awarded it would be an invitation (a good help) for the same teams to stay up on top of their leagues for many seasons, and that probably would make some users give up the BB (by making their chances even harder).
I think this is the thought of those who created the game.

Edit: Don't forget that you have extra-cash when playing BBB (i think, not sure - anyway if not it won't change my idea on this subject).

Something like this does not happen in real life.
In real life - if you are winning then you make money.


You have bonus because next season you have better attendance or you keep the same high attendance if you already won the league previous season so it's a long term bonus rather when short term.

If you can win a cash bonus, you'll start to pay more wages to get there. So that does not work at all.

You knew with those wages, you would lose money short term (you'll get more die hard fans the next season etc.).

I do however feel that it seems* we got a 'strange' situation in BB. But that's only for teams who already win their second PO final game, and cannot play their third. They miss out on the ticketmoney of the third game while teams who need a third game do get that income.

* = I said it seems because it might be compensated in the amount of hardcore fans for the next season, or a better score at the fan survey. It would however be nice to know if that's the case or not.

Because I'm in that situation, I think it's strange too. Why not replacing Gate receipts by winning primes, like in tournament? I mean:
- you are in PO => prime (to have an advantage to finish 4th instead of 5th)
- you win the first PO round => prime
- you win the conference final => prime
- you win the championship (in 2 or 3 games) => prime

Having the HCA is allready a big advantage to win; I don't see the interest to have also more money because playing at home.


This could be another interesting point for discussion.
In my opinion the HCA should not be so "big" as seems to be.

And they also expended lot of money paying extras to the players for the title.
