But if we pay salaries on a Monday if the players have a played a game the week before. So therefore 5th spot will pay on the Monday after the regular season. That means if you do get 4th you pay that Monday salaries, get 1/3 of the winnings and then have to pay the following Monday salaries as well because you played a game in that week.

Unless i am getting the economic cycles wrong??

Yes that sounds correct to me. So back to where we were, finishing 5th is ideal if you are likely to bow out 1st round of finals. That is ridiculous!

So possibly you have either 2/3 teams believing they are a genuine chance of making the final series. Then you could also have teams between 3-7 all battling for that golden spot at 5th. It's just not right...

in that case wouldnt 6th spot be the "golden" spot since you get 2 home game income + 1/3 income from that away game.

anyways 5th is boring as s*** lol

That is definitely an argument to make. However, I would not chance it with my team. If you are in danger of being 6th, there's a good chance you're in danger of losing the relegation series.

its a good point, you definitely get more money from 6th but the risk to way to high.

You really want everyone trying to battle for the playoffs because there is an incentive to be there.

Wait a second, you're telling me that teams get paid to play relegation games?! I think you might want to double check that.

Weird set up... So by finishing 6th/7th allows you the same bonus as finishing top 4. What a joke.

Yeah, it's weird. Crowds will naturally be a lot smaller, but they really should have bonuses based on average league salary like the salary floor/tv contract.
