You play in the lowest division in Your country, so I think Your TV contract should be even few times smaller ;-)

How does that answer any question? lmao
Thanks GM

That makes sense, most of your posts do I was looking to compete on the B3 stage consistantly, which means carrying that higher salary, even with other top B3 teams, rather than just fight with other teams in the CBBL, which with all due respect to them, isn't much competition right now.
It is easier in a small country such as ours, but once you make the big show, you don't just want to be part of the crowd, if you make good choices, I'd hoped that I could carry there salary. Maybe I got this too soon & that's why.
I know I have to juggle somethings, as my Salary is above a lot of teams right now, so I'll see where I'm at once I changed out my bench to line up with the new starters & system I want to run.
Thanks for the thoughts ;)

Actually I play in the top division in my country & won the Cup last year, hence the conversation about B3.

You play in the lowest division if we count levels with alive users ;-)
In Cup You defeated in last season only 4 alive opponents ;-)
It isn't impressive ;-)
Who cares B3? Less than 1% of clubs in BB play in B3 ;-)
And I'm sure economical situation in Your country is very very better than in many others countries, even without these few cents from TV contract. You can develop Your team quicker than teams in countries with higher TV contracts.
I think when You received club in first season You had TV contract over 150k - without any effort. When I received club I had 15-40k or something like that (I don't remember exactly). But scouting, staff, new seats in arena cost the same in every level. So how can team like my club fight with team like Your club?
I think levels should be count not from top division but from bottom ;-)

Sorry, I thought you mean't Division wise, not country wise, my mistake.
I understand what everyone is saying about ECONOMY in my country, but it's about playing on an even field in the B3, so 1% plays it, I'd like to make that 1.1%
I can develope a team quicker, yeah, but limited by the lower money in my country,TV contract, attendance from teams ranked low in the World etc, so I still wouldn't have the chance to compete with the teams from the bigger countries as my overall cap space is lower. It takes you longer to get there, granted, but & I've said this all through this post, if you make good decisions then you'll pass me as you have more money coming in than me. It's the tortise & the hare story, I start fast & run off into the lead, but if you stay the course you'll pass me in the end, inherently.
Now this is just what I'm seeing right now & may not be the actual case if I had done something differently, but all everyone, bar a couple of people, are saying is "Oh it's easier for you", at the start yes, but to compete all the way no it's not. What I'm trying to find out is what I'm missing, not have a age old conversation about small country Vs big country. Have I built this too quick, have I missed something, have I not done something, stuff like that. Or is this just a case of I have to load up & take a run at B3, instead of consistantly be a team people look for? Teams get knocked for loading up & making a run at the B3 as it's a version of tanking. I'm not looking to be that kind of team. I shouldn't have to be that kind of team, if certain criteria are even, match attendance for high COUNTRY RANKED games, TV contract etc.

??? Did you even look at my arena before posting that> 21272 lol
The part that gets me on this is, it's seems to be based on a clubs world rank, not country rank. Everyone knows that world rank system is floored at best, but it works better on a country level as these teams play each other all the time.
If two temas with the same arena setup & ticket prices played each other in different countries the teams ranked higher in the world would get more at there game, dispite all clubs involved being ranked the same in there country. This for me doesn't make sense. So people are flying around the world to watch that game? If you ranked 40000 in the world, but number 1 in your country & your playing the team ranked 40001 in the world, but 2nd in your country, that's a big game & should get the attendance accordlingly.

I can develope a team quicker, yeah, but limited by the lower money in my country

No, Your development isn't limited. Because You don't need to have expensive squad to keep team in 1st division. You can sell all players and still there is no dangerous that You will be relegated to 2nd division (because even if You lose all matches You will come back thanks cleaning of bots) ;-)
Meanwhile in my country in last season few teams with wages over 500k were relegated. And it was bloody war to survive.
So You can pay less for Your players and save money. And it is higher value than loss in TV contract.
When salaries in Your league will be the same as in other countries then You will have the same TV contract. And I'm sure You wouldn't happy if it happened ;-)
