As someone who will finish fourth, this has been an interesting thread to follow! I have worked out I will lose 200k, assuming a full house against Vic (also assuming Vic stays on top!!).

I would rather be 5th for cash reasons, but the extra game for training is ok too, but the cash is a killer I agree.

Not that this will happen this year, but what if 4th wins both games and makes the big dance? Is it worth it then?

Hopefully they tweak the formula some more.

If you make the finals it is worth it but just making the SF is proably not depending on how smart and good the arena is of your opponents. It is 1/3 + 1/3 but there are higher turnouts for playoff games even though the BBs say there isn't. The extra game for training may be good...but if you had two scrimmages you could train out of position easily and get everyone 48+. for a playoff game you will probably be playing your best lineup (and not your young trainees) so it may not help the overall training that much.

Valid query. I think you would be looking at a week of losses, followed by a possible break even (if it goes to 3 games in the final) or another week of losses.

2 away games per week during finals, is not enough for me to make a profit. I'd need at least a home game and an away game minimum. That wouldn't net me a huge profit either.

The critical thing for me is do you have a chance to win? If you do then forget the crippling financial losses of coming 4th and embrace it. If you don't have a chance then 5th is so full of win.

That's what you get for making it so massive! Imagine the income you'll bring in if you are successful to reach the ABBL next season!

... still really unfair I pay out 150k++ per home game to the other finalist and I only like 50k when I do play at their homeground.

Awesome, that's what I thought. Now can the relegation teams confirm if salaries were paid?

Looks like 5th is the best spot then. That really is wrong.
