The real "penalty " goes to the #1 and #2 that don't get 2/3 of the revenue anymore.

@Tough part

I don't want to speak for Ram, so I'll put in my own opinion on Tough. I do agree that 3,000 - 5,000 posts in 3 seasons is incredible. Not saying all of them were relevant, but most of them were! Especially his NT/U21 before-game write ups and recaps. I have never read "The Eagle" so I can't talk about that. His posts on the USA NT offsite are very nice as well including the amount of them(868 posts in 7 months).

Anyways "His IV.29 had 307 posts last season compared to 225 posts here" see I posted something similar to this last year when I wrote "Wow this league only had 70ish posts compared to my D4 where it had 200+". Now I didn't see offense in this last year, but now I feel deeply hurt! I don't know if this was an attack or not, but we tried our best to be talkative! To be honest we can include 40 more posts from our Road to Cup thread, but it still is lower than 300.

I do know how much time goes into them. Personally I would have never been able to do what you did in Div IV. for so long. I would much rather do pregame predictions then post game wrap ups.

Actually I wasn't referring at all to his recent language, but more to his lack of spelling and punctuation. I will admit that he has fervor. He can do some decent work if he concentrates on it. But when I think of great posters I think of guys like fewmit (Old Yet Sexy Hippies), hrudey (Rik Smits Clogs), or darykjozef (I'll Replace You with Machines).

I upgraded my PF. Someone has bid on my 33 year old, so I just bought a 24 year old. He'll end up costing me less than 400000 after that sale. I think I got him for a good price. Transfer Price Estimate: There have been 13 recent transfers of 23-24 year old centers with tremendous inside defense and allstar potential. Adil Muham is probably better than all 13 of these players, but the few that are most similar have been selling for around $ 550 000 to $ 1 200 000.

So if I don't like him, I shouldn't lose any money if I resell him.

That can be misleading since I am splitting my posts as I respond to different GMs. Who will have the 100th post?

It is the same in the real world. The rich get richer and the poor stay poor.

My first thought is that teams will lose one or more games to avoid finishing in fifth place. This way they would earn attendance revenue from 3 relegation games. They figure that if their team is good enough to finish in fifth place, then it is good enough to win a relegation series with the home court advantage against a seventh place team.

If you can guarantee that this scenario will never happen then you have my full approval, not that you need it.

I assume that the revenue split for relegation games will not change.

And yes the new revenue split penalizes the first and second place teams.

I did not mean to attack or hurt anyone. I was wrong to compare 2 forums because every league is different in their own way.

One time the Visionaries GM from the NBBA commented on how alone I was in the forum. I never criticized my fellow managers and just kept right on posting.

I was praising Tough for doing such a great job of keeping his forum active. Ram saw how I failed to keep the other managers active in the forum. I am referring to results and not lack of effort.

I did do more predictions than post game reports, especially for the playoffs. You don’t need my pre-game or post-game reports because you have plenty of activity here that I didn’t have for the previous 4 seasons.

Prior to that there were 2 managers in my D4 league who were very active and I learned alot from them. Without them I might have dropped out like I did in other games.

I appreciate any of you who put in the time and effort to keep us all interested in this league.
