There are too many variables and not enough overall info to base the calculation on. BB's have the most accurate info, why people choose to ignore their sayings is bizarre...

Sorry, users should blindly believe what the BBs say when all evidence points the other way?

I think 100% of managers would say 2-3 is completely broken or doesn't work as intended (if you don't, you're wrong, and that is a fact). Also the matter of shot blocking and a bunch of other stuff.

is ee 2-3 quite often in nt games, also succesful and i play it also quite a lot with succes.

So 100% of managers are not a fact, like the fact you are stating.

My chance at finishing 5th is gone, so I've got a new question.

Better financially, a one game playoff series loss (1/3 attendance revenue) vs. a three game relegation series win (2/3 attendance + 1/3 attendance + 2/3 attendance)?

My thinking is that a relegation series is better financially. Your attendance revenue will probably be the same next season and you pocket extra revenue through the 3 relegation games. Any evidence that playoffs are better? This would be yet another thing that makes zero sense about this game.

Playoffs is better. With playoffs you pay 1xsalary. With relegation 3 games you pay 2xsalary. Usually even one full (1/3+2/3) arena income is less then player salarys. So basically with relegation games you lose money both weeks. With playoffs only one week.

Ah, right. Thought the deciding game was a back-to-back for some reason. Relegation sweep as the 6th seed is probably better than a playoff loss, though? (don't worry, you don't have to respond. Just talking to myself at this point.)

If you can end the relegation series in 2 games, then you only pay salaries for 1 week.
