- For my it's clear that the salary-floor should be much higher than it is now. That would decrease the number of teams which throw an entire season to win money doing a stand by. I really don't think this change could be a disadvantage for anyone. You've mentioned a disadvantege for small nation teams, but small nations teams earn a lot of money very quickly which should help them to reach to that salary-floor. Or if they don't reach to it, they would continue earning money weekly.
As example for what I have said, this afternoon a team from Kazakhstan second division was biding over 3 million for a guy in the TL. How can this team, with the following transfer history (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/176477/transferhistory.a...), and with his initial arena (he haven't even change the initial prices) have won over 3 million in less than 2 seasons playing in BB??
After seeing this example I really don't think teams from little countries would be worried about a posible raise in the salary-floor.


yes you can earn a lot in small countrys, but there are two differences:
- you need to invest to earn those money, when the initial salarys are so high you don't get to the point where you earn money since you will loose your starting money
- the opponent you play have are partially bots, but also team who fit in in a div 1, so you need more money to build up an roster , who could compete with them.
- As soon you reached the stage to compete your income is very small again, maybe a bit bigger then in big nations through the smaller competion which leads to weaker roster(same quality get hard through the smaller income)

The situation in general is not so satisfying, but a higher salary floor would need a change here first.

Totally agree.

I'd also add a "plus" just for entering the playoffs, an equivalent of the income that the winner of the play-out would have received for winning the two play-out games. I'd do this because some teams could see as impossible to beat the leader or the 2nd at their homes, and they could prefer being sixth and earn some money than being 3d or 4th and earning nothing, less is more than nothing. In this case, the income for winning in the playoffs or winning in the play-out could be the same.

Second Team:
Etonic Akeem
Completely in accordance with Marot
In fact, many managers amount category and make a stand-by to save money and promote smooth several categories at once.
Now BB does not promote to teams that want to win all their games.

Another approach: All teams that dont reach the playoffs are in danger to get demoted.

5th place plays vs. 8th place, 6th plays vs. 7th - best of five, so you have as many games as the playoff teams. Income liike in league games.

Double TV and merchandise income and add a 75% markup on arena income for the playoff teams for the duration of the playoffs.

Not sure if this would work out. You could tank for first overall draft pick then and STILL hold the class by defeating a 5th place.

Definitely, but that would also put a lot of teams under pressure to reach the playoffs, instead of rat racing for the fifth.

Maybe in combination with inventing a draft lottery?

I don't really agree with this idea, it's fair that if you finish 5th you don't play any series of relegation, but it's not fair the income you get.

--------------

Going back to the topic I really liked the idea of Jonidas, changing the income of the play-off match and doing it like the Cup, this would encourage the teams to try to win the match even if they play away.

Someone could argue that this gives an advantatge to the teams playing in home, but take a look on the leagues, most of the times the teams ending in 3rd position or 4th doesn't try to win their play-off game because before they already have sold their players to make a little stand by during play-off and sometimes they win more money in the weekly income than the first or the second.

If you get eliminated of play-off you wouldn't pay salaries but on the other side wouldn't receive incomes from TV&shop

PS: Thanks to all of you who are supporting this sugestion :)
