* Attendance money of PO-games should be divided 50-50
* All the PO-teams should get monetary PO-bonus


Well from my point of view, if you make it 50-50 it doesn't change a lot. Imagine a team was close to the first position but decides to make a stand by and ends on the 4th position. Instead of receiving the 1/3 of the income, he sees how he receives more than he should(and ofc gives up the match).

I think it changes quite a lot, if the problem is especially ending 5th in the table rather than 3rd or 4th. With the play-off bonus described below you would be guaranteed to get at least the money that corresponds to about one home game you would have.

-This prize should be for example the 100% or a high %of the income game(for advacing of round), high enough revenue to encourage the teams to win the game. I wouldn't apply this prize to a team that saved from demoting since not going down it's a good enough.

There is already a reward for advancing a round - the income of the following PO game. I don't think there's anymore need for another monetary prize about winning a game.

Apart from having a prize for advancing of round in play-off i suggest to give a prize to the 8 teams that made play-off so the 3rd&4th position are well paid too.

Yep, and that should probably correspond to something from 50 % to absolutely maximum of 100 % of a home game income.


Of course you could twist numbers so that home team would get more income and the PO-bonus would be bigger for all teams (to make it enough better to end up 4th than 5th), but imo that way the winners would get too much money and could more easily "dominate" also the following season.

I can't see why is there so much debate. Someone have already mentioned a very simple solution - if you didn't pay salary then no TV money during PO/off-season. Making 5th less desirable is effectively same as making 3rd/4th more attractive. It's so simple really. I don't understand why BB still haven't implemented this.

Regarding to the new news i encourage the BB's, to make a change against tanking as soon as posible.

I dunno how it will be done, but i hope the results of this season are taken in count, we can't wait more time having 1/3 of the teams focussed on tanking or thinking to tank before play-off.


edit: It would be nice the BB's share with the community some of their ideas about what could be done to have a better competition.

Actually it´s the other way round. BBs have been watching the discussions, ideas and "solutions" for a while now, and we all get to know which conclusions they draw...

Which ones are in your opinion?

Because BB-Marin said at the begining of the season that he thinks tanking is ''another'' strategy for the long term.

Actually the way we are supposed to manage GS, tanking is inherent to this game at least to some extent. This is part of the game design and players are not entirely to blame. But then tanking a game is very different from tanking part of or even the whole season. It needs to be defined more clearly. I hope they can somehow balance it out. (a very big ask i know)

I think they should fine teams that lose on purpose, only problem is that you don't really know if they tanked.....unless you see a dramatic drop in standings....so I think a reasonable way to do this is to award $$$ to all the playoff teams, and only give the 5-8 teams 5% of income. Or subtract 70% of their income so it'd be equal, like give to the league........then PO teams get full income, since they worked hard for it.........or give em $$$ something like this; for D5USA:
Quarterfinals; $40,000
Semifinals; $60,000
Finals; $80,000
Winner; the usual winning $$$ since they're the only team that benifit from the PO+ an extra 20k

Then increase everything in higher divisions by like, 25% or 20%................
