- give some economics incentives in order to make more interesting a 3rd or 4th place, instead of tanking to arrive 5th (actually it's still better than a quick exit from the playoff)

I totally disagree on this point. Last season I had top play playdowns for the first time in ages after playing playoffs regularly. I'm losing a lot of money this season and I think that my bad place last season is the reason. In short term one seems to make more money by finishing 5th rather than 3rd or 4th. But in the long term I'm pretty sure one's doing better finishing better. Which was quite often stated by the BBs but noone seems to believe it.

Exactly! People just worry about that one week of salary, while the long term benefits are being overseen. Just like with shotblocking. Some German dude has been throwing some stats around, that clearly prove SB effect, but no one buys it.

It appears that people, generally, only accept the clearly transparent facts.
