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:

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 :)

Problem is nobody really knows how much money you win/lose (compared to fourth place) from finishing fifth.

In my opinion every team should pay salaries all the time, even in offseason and if no competitive games are scheduled. However those teams that are successful should get rewarded.

If teams eliminated from the playoffs will have to pay no salaries the best strategy would be to go for the fourth place and dismantle your roster before the playoffs to get income from one playoff game (that will be lost anyway in most cases, as 4th seed rarely beats 1st seed), higher fan survey results for the next season and more money from player transfers just before the playoffs.

I dont see any sense in such a change, we need to think big.
