a few managers deliberately tried to lose game 2


I would say that's why the attendance drop happens for Game 3.


and when you lose but not on purpose?

Puh-leeze... no-one but you is going to drink the koolaid on this one. The fan survey is clearly not operating sensibly in this case. Hopefully a three-game finals scenario is added to whatever test suite the fan survey algorithm is tested against.

I'm commenting on the attendance, not the Fan Survey.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I think there can't be an algorhytm to decide whether the owner is smart or dumb if the result is the same.

In additon nobodfy prevents you from tanking Game 1 instead (smart or dumb dilema again:) )

uhm... why everybody keeps responding like that? I DIDN'T TANK ANY PLAYOFF GAME
i LOST game#2
it was an even matchup, i played normal just to have enthusiasm 8 instead of 6 when playing game#3 at home

CT, TIE and normal is different in playoffs, attendance is different in playoffs, i think the "losing a game" effect could also be changed to be different for game#3 of the playoffs finals

can you imagine fans staying at home in game#7 of the NBA finals just because their team lost game#6? come on...

Exactly. There is absolutely no reason why Game 3 of the finals should not be the most attended game of the season. Losing 2000 fans because of a Game 2 loss defies any reasonable logic.

There is a reason - as it was mentioned. Having a longer series shouldn't be much better than win in 2 games. Exstra game is extra profit. No matter if you try to lose or it just happens.

I should add that I'm not advocating anything in this case. I just think that there is a reason. If the benefit from an extra game is such a big deal I can't tell.

I lost game 2 of the finals and sold out my arena for the tie breaker, which I won. My final fan survey had 4 balls for how the team performed this season.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Well, that's a good suggestion except that during the regular season the arena is rarely over 75% full. Still, just this afternoon I added a few of the upper end seats.
