the difference between the cup and bb3 is that the cup is easier to predict for most teams since almost every team in bb3 can advance very far in the cup, while in bb3, the competition is too high to expect the receipt of a certain amount of prize money. the bb3 draw didn't do you any favours either ...

to answer your question on bb3 proceeds, you can probably clear about $1.2 million, after subtracting additional salaries and attendance loss to league losses. but there is a bit of additional training from the fourth game if you can figure out how to take advantage of it.

ok i earned about 1M winning cup...

count again.

for winning the last 10 rounds you receive about 675 dollars total for all rounds.
From there on it was 25k each round, which means you must have played another 13 rounds... no way any cup has 23 rounds.... I think the average cupwinners ended around 725k total cup money. Small countries less, bigger countries a little more, but I don't think anyone reached 750k.

In B3, if you win it, you have 1M from the final game alone. Ofcourse, winning it is prety impossible for 99,9% of the BB teams. But winning a cup isn't that easy and mostly some sacrifice is needed and if you lost the finals you got 250k less, which is more then 1/3rd of your total!

No, the cup is not economically attractive. Nor is B3. If you want to compare, do it on other bases then economics because there is nothing big to be gained, in neither.

thatswhy i pick easier and more predictable way in cup

Im for and against the current format of the BB3. After a couple of mails with BB Charles I offered the following alternative (similar to the Champions League from week 4) I think this would add enjoyment and reduce the HCA which often decides the close matches and doesnt allow for a high enough % of upsets.

So, what about if you trimmed the top 256 in the world down to 32 in weeks 1-3. (Either on neutral court or 2 games H&A)
Then ;
Weeks 4-6 - 8 groups of 4 - 3 neutral matches with top 2 progressing (and being seeded) Better still squeeze 2 matches per week in here and play opponents home and away.
Week 7 Sweet 16 (1st leg)
Week 8 Sweet 16 (2nd leg)
Week 9 Quarter Final (1st leg)
Week 10 Quarter Final (2nd leg)
Week 11 Semi Final (1st leg)
Week 12 Semi Final (2nd leg)
Week 13 - FINAL
Sweet 16 only would be decided by combined points total.
With the rewards for progression money wise minimal and the only real benefit being training it would be nice to play for Zero money, no extra training minutes and play with fixed enthusiasm.
Or this could this be a supporter feature where managers could opt to play and register for in week 1 of each season IF they werent already in a Private League. When you lose obviously you could enter a Private League.
