After that its the same stuff, you want good attendance you have to win road games, TV, and rivalry, which is really frustrating because its really hard to win road games when you are a good but not great D2 team. Most of the time you need to make sure you win your home games and build enthusiasm, so on the road you need to TIE vs the home team going Normal...which has happened to me 3 times this season, all 3 losses, and after those 3 games I got poor attendance at the following home game. HCA+effort differential is basically a 20 point advantage IMO, and that's tough to overcome.


This is the part that I think needs to be reevaluated by the BBs. The HCA is too great. Period. If i dont catch a road team TIEing while I normal or some other like situation, i dont have a chance in hell of winning, even against slightly inferior teams or superior teams running bad tactics.

Oh, I understand that there is a lot of components to this and that two seemingly identical things don't have necessarily to have much in common, but still, none of that explains how could I have a bigger attendance in a lower division than here. Div. 2 should attract more fans than Div. 3. Period.

In a real world setting, I suppose that would be true. However, losing in two straight games in your League III finals probably did not help your attendance at all going into this season. I think that is probably the difference maker between our two teams as far as attendance goes.

It might be the difference between our two teams, but I still see no sense in the fact that I have been drawing more fans in lower division than I do here. And quiet frankly, I don't understand why everyone keep skipping that part of my argument.

I didn't say it made sense that you have fewer fans now. I was just saying that, as far as Buzzerbeater world goes, that is the reason.

I think I finally run out of steam. Besides, anything anyone here could say on this subject will make no difference on the way BB runs things, so yeah, I'm done for today. As a matter of fact, I might be done for a whole month.
