if you do this, it makes those teams with big arena go something more advantageous


since they are already power house! but how about starting it on ft attempts hahaha

remember karl malone who has a hard time hitting ft because the crowd were chanting 1 to 5 and he just threw it up till he knew to count on his own :D

Wouldn't the HCA also be affected by how full the arena is. If those 20,000 drunken Bostonians are spread throughout a 30,000 seat arena they won't be as scary. Plus it should take into account the lower tier and courtside seats. Have enough of those fans, they call the cops to keep the bleacher fans out. And the fans will be watching the cops instead of the game.

10,000 bleachers-only crowd and we'll see the visiting players wilt. Let's put the cage back in cager.

I think there are a lot of factors that make a arena hard to play in...if the fans are really close to the floor, if the arena is designed a certain way, the type of fans a team gets etc. Seems like those would all be hard to gauge in a game like BuzzerBeater...that's why I suggested something simple like size.

However, seems like the sentiments is that linking Home Court Adv. to something like this would only benefit the "big" teams. So maybe its a no go...

>Why is it so hard to play against U of Arizona?

It is? Maybe it used to be...

this video is genious, i think pana could be happy to play in ront of such fans, but the arena is just half full if you look at the background :)

In german we would say if you look this video your hair stands

if this suggestion ever makes the list of implemented stuff, I sure hope they have cupfinals on neutral ground.
It is already killing to have to play a final at some other teams homecourt, if they get an advantage due to their fans as well the game doesn't need to be played anymore...

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

How about this formula:

Adjusted_attendance (noise level):

Sum (section_attendance * bleacher_price/section_price)

So bleachers count 100%. If the lower tier tickets are 3X the bleacher tickets, then fans in those seats count 1/3.

Arena_volume:

Arena_capacity + 1000.

The 1000 represents the area taken up by the court.

Relative_intensity:

Adjusted_attendance / Arena_Volume

Intimidation_factor:

Max (0, Relative_intensity - Threshhold_intensity)

The threshold intensity might be around 75%.

I believe the Cup semis and finals are already to be played on a neutral court.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

nope.
Played in the Black Hell today. Luckely we are the Bringers of Doom, and we like Hells so I could take home the cup, but I can guarantee you lost another couple years of my life. It is always anoying if a team with very weak outside offense starts hitting 3's against your good outside def, and your magnificent FT shooters suddenly seem to be able to miss their shots in the last 30 seconds. Fortunatly they kept their cool and hit enough FTs to keep the score level.

Anyway: in Belgium Cup final is at the hometeams' court... as was the semis, as was the quarters.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

No sure I understand why different sections are counted differently.

Anyway, sounded like this idea was kind of DOA.
