In my series, 3 teams tried to get placed as 6th. Because of this someone team which was clearly the worst ended as number 7. And those two teams pushed my team and another team respectively to place 5 and 4, while they're teams were much better. And it actually seems to be a lot better to finish as number 7 than number 5.

Fully quote the proposal to play a game between the teams classified in 5 position, this can guarantee a minimum amount.

there was the same problem in my div :) because in the other side in the table 7th place is bot :) ( maybe guy got ban or smth I don't care) so there was three teams who wanted 6th place and that bot in qualifications. so in the end of the season we lost as many games as we could :) so I got that 6th place I am much happier than that guy in 5th place It is fact

I guess some of you are overlooking the purpose of relative benefits for 6th-7th places - faciliating the process of closing the gap between newer/weaker teams and original/traditional powerhouses in particular countries. The game needs to be open this way to make contending possible over a time. BB is a strategic game - feel free to use what rules give you to rise to the top. It is up to you how. If you want to take the risk sometimes, do it but nothing is guaranteed (including badly executed tanking and ending at 5th "the most horrible it-has-to-be-changed" place).

What if instead of being safe from relegation, the 5th place team plays the 8th place team in the other bracket and the loser being relegated? I also think it would be interesting to see a crossover in the playoffs, so that if the 2 best teams are in the same division, they will have a chance to meet each other in the finals instead of meeting in the semifinals.

Wha if nobody would make the play offs just 1st would play 8th, 2nd .. you got the point. Let just play regular season for a reason (other than draft order).

in this case the ywill argue, if 5/6 place better then 3/4th :)

If you look at the "average" income of those teams, the answer is pretty easy even if i win the first PO round away(like me last season), i earn just a small part of the money a six placed team get.

From the point of money, i don't like the final of the season anyway. For example me as a first round looser, will get around ~130k. The one who wins a 3 round relegation will get 600-700k.

The champion will have earned something around 1,2 Miollions, which is a huge advantage against the 3-5th team. And in the season the income differs a lot too, so i hard the top teams

I could not agree more.

I think the real issue should be the "Playoff time economy" - I think there's room for improvment in this subject

That's an Idea...

But theres still a "problem" with 3-4 place that might play only one away game and by that earn less then a 6-7 place team that plays minimum 2 games ...
