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).

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.


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 ...

Why not just simply not pay any money to the relegation matches. They are fighting for their life shouldn't staying in the division be enough?

There is probably a really obvious reason why this is a bad idea.

Yeah, there is. But my suggestion would be that 5th place teams will get scrimmages with income.

this is probably a stupid idea but why not have a second set off playoffs for the teams in 5th - 8th.
it would go like this:

8th vs 8th......7th vs 7th.....6th vs 6th.....5th vs 5th.....
the loser of the 8th placed team gets relegated
the loser of the 7th placed team gets relegated

8th vs 7th.....6th vs 5th
the loser of either of theses matches gets relegated

???? vs ????

this gives you a huge advantage finishing 5th as you have less chance of being relegated.

tell me what you think.
the winner doesnt get a trophy or anything it just means every1 gets to play just like the top 4, this doesnt change the draft picks in anyway whats so ever.
Mayby the winner can get a trophy instead of it being gold it can be bronze or something.

just let me know what you guys think.

cheers
