We are also making changes to the Cup and B3. For both competitions, instead of earning gate receipts depending upon the home team attendance, teams will get a fixed amount of money in each round. A table listing the payouts for each round will be placed in the rules before next season.

Let me get it straight... if I am unlucky enough to play a division I team in the first round I won't even have the advantage of a higher arena income?

Honestly I was hoping for a *even* better attendance system, where a division IV team playing home against a DI would see its arena sold out, no matter what, and an DI team playing home against a D-IV team would have half seats empty, no matter what.

Right, and the BBs have apologized for this already.

i'm not a First Division trainer.

i'm in III division in Italy, but i really don't know why, just beacuse 2-3 teams have 25.000 stadium and play in easy First National Leagues, everyobod must pay.

i really don't know why...it's ridicolous that the strongest team in my national First Division receives same money from TV than the worst of the VI division..isn't it!?!?

now most of the teams who are playing in Playoff could prefer stay in his division than be upgrade...!

it's a paradox. bah

very accept .. that's what i tried to say ..
and teams from the lower divisions of course not understand that because they only profit from that thing ..

you're a fair man .. congratulations ;)

We should have a lock down!!! Don't play any games untill BB has sorted this mess out!! Team owners did it in the MLB and NBA a couple of seasons ago...

But serieusly: would it have been more accaptable if BB came up with a complete different story, something that is plausable like $ 7 maintence per arena seat every week? (together with a possibilty to size down your arena). Inflation is a problem (or do you think owning a player for half a season, and without training his value is doubled is healthy?), and BB should do something about it. The way the do it is arguable, but we will just have to deal with it in the way it comes!

no thanks
i have a big arena and i'm in a low league (IV). if this is going to happen i want back ALL the money i spent to expand it

i think , this is personally mine.

revenue from a basketball league should really come from attendance and tv revenue and sponsors. and not from selling of players.

so i have to see whats the new formula of the attendance brings, moreover this makes those teams with better arena sizes to be able to cope up fast than those just adjusting to the new rules.

==================================================

i cant really understand why we have to give money to the players union, they have already a salary or contract if they join a union then it should be at their own expense.

how does it return to us managers, if this is a way to close the gap of the riches and poor i would understand. but it doesnt leave the poor enough room to move since the rich are rich, they already have the money right now to be able to be ready to whats coming.

if i understand it correctly that your attendance is now a vital thing to your income, guess those who have many millions can quickly make thousands of seat already than those who are not.

still the money would come in but many are for the have and few for the have nots

==================================================

shouldnt we be hearing from our team sponsors as well since ahhh. . . they get advertise ( unnoticely) in our arena :D

==================================================

actually i like the idea since its controls the managers in thhinking what is the best move and especially the trade market, ill say it i started in season 2 and when i buy talents for trainees it cost only around 400-800k but now with the same salalry and level bracket im really surprise to see it jumps to 1-2.5 million.

==================================================

im hoping to be more enlighten as this goes on the earlier the better.

==================================================

i might be wrong here so someone do correct me pls
