The only way for the div II teams to be competitive is to remain faithful to their training regime and to learn the game well. Financially, the MBBA teams are at an advantage with their bigger arenas.
Agree. And training must be very intensive and very well shaped. In MBBA you have more merchandising, arena incomes and TV contracts. Just climbing from III to II I added about 80K$ of weekly incomes this season.
Training is the key: a training program, spanning across 3 seasons about main objectives, with focused execution one season at time (to be then flexible according to evolution of team, opponents, players) What I still see is that training is suboptimal - but this is my external opinion.
About blueprint, I read Kwaiwah with interest: it is not much different than mine, but with some key changes depending on local situation. Just at the begining, when promoted one season earlier in IV, I had to fight to survive like this season, so changied all my programs to increase chances Or you could face a fierce opponent arrived from upwards or downwards. You can get others' blueprints just as source of inspiration - and a good series of lessons learned.
