With my main team, last time I played my rival was S36 and I have 4.5 balls
With my utopia team, last time I played my rival was S37 and I have N/A

It seems that something is still wrong.

It still must be something wrong.
My last season rival in main team promoted. So I changed my rival and have 5 Balls with my new rival. Ok, we played last season and I won twice.
In the second team my rival also changed (not by promotion!). But with the new rival there is n/a although we played twice last season, too.

Same situation, diferent solution.

Yes because your last game against your rival with your main team was in PO ;)

Not really, we calculate separately for Utopia and for the rest of BB. I didn't want to change anything for Utopia as we usually try to keep everything the same there from its beginnings, in order to keep it the same for every contestant.

Also, I'll discuss with my colleagues if what I changed (rivals' games being considered from before the current season) is to be kept going forward or not.

I know this isn't really the place for it, but I'd personally suggest that if that's maintained, it only should take into effect the past season. The scenario where a team promotes into a league and has a game from four or five seasons ago that might not even have been a rivalry game then doesn't make much sense.

Right, we decided it's best to change it back and rerun again the calculations. In about 4, max 10 hours the fan survey should again show N/A for rivalry matches (if you didn't play with your rival on Saturday).

Second time there is a problem with fans and attendance and second time my attendance gets untouched. I was playing on TV against a rival and had a little more than half attendance... I really wanna know what sort of excuse they'll find now.

Hi there!
I'm another one of the damaged because of the bug/miscalculation/criteria change or whatever you want...
I've had no change after all the recalculations you've made.

This is what I got:
(http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/79127/arena.aspx)
and the last matches results:
37 season (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/79127/schedule.aspx?season=37)
38 season (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/79127/schedule.aspx?season=38)

So, I can't understand the hard punishment applied.
I observed that during the week of play-offs and final, the fan survey showed very bad marks that had nothing to do with the results of the season. I wonder if the last match problem carries the mistakes caused at the end of the last season.
I'd like to say that I checked all the teams of my league at the end of last season, and none of them had such drop in assistance, even the ones loosing all the matches.
Thanks and sorry for my english....

The fact that the match is a TV match against a rival doesn't really boost the attendance numbers (I agree that it should, it's just not done that way now). Maybe it's because it wouldn't be fair to everyone if it was since we have 3 TV matches and you might only have one rival match which might not be a home one.

So, looking at your numbers from before the playoffs (which are severily boosted in attendance and cannot compare), you can compare them quite easily to your first match, considering that the start of the season always sees a cooldown by the fans (this happens to everyone).
