BuzzerBeater Forums

What I would rather do makes no difference. Personally I would rather watch Cal play Los Medanos Junior College than go to a pro basketball game, but that doesn't mean that in Buzzerbeater a d.2 team should have a higher attendance than a d.1 team.

They do sort of have a cup in America. It begins this week. It's the NCAA tournament, which is as close to a cup as it gets here. Attendance will be higher for these games than for probably 90% of all the NBA games played this season. In 2005 the final game had 47,000 people at the game. The open-to-the-public practice the day before had 31,000. (http://stlouis.bizjournals.com/stlouis/stories/2005/04/04...)I don't think the cup having a higher attendance is unusual.

For me this season I had 4000 more people at my first cup game than for my first league game. I had 1100 more for my second cup game than my second league game. This led me to believe that cup games have better attendance than league games. I'm not telling you how I want it to be or what i think it should be, only what I think (and that's important because I don't actually KNOW anything) it is based on several seasons of watching my attendance.

now that information about your home games and cup games makes sense. thats the best information i have heard yet. And March madness is not a cup it is not even close to a cup. Its a tournament. it is after the regular season and decides the champion of the NCAA. The winner does not play competition in any other leagues. Also a cup is played during the season.

"...it is not even close to a cup. Its a tournament."


Classic. Check out what the "cup" is called in the USA. At any rate, that is an irrelevant point and if you read what I wrote I said it was sort of a cup.

Good luck in your next game. I hope you sell it out!
