Asunto: General Sponsor and TV Contract

monday

oups,wrong topic^^

I got a 5 star pay decrease.

I feel completely frustrated. I worked hard to get to 6th place in the league and playoffs only to get 1 star - 2 star - 1 star -and finally another 1 star general sponsorship offer. 6.1 million a week just 300,000 more than last year. Impossible to compete and get better. Going to sleep on it but see no point in continuing. Stupid - stupid - stupiid system.

Sorry to hear buddy. The difference between star levels in this price range is small. When you get to 12-20M deals there is a big difference. I don't know the exact values but at worst you could have had maybe 600-700k more a week. That's at the very high end. Sorry to hear about this though that is quite terrible luck. You still have a great div2 team. Keep working the angles. You'll do fine. Heck, you'll soon take my spot!

I got 1*'s for each general sponsor. =/ Missing probably like 1m a week -_-

1* in skybox. PPM is angry today it seems :/

Harsh. I'm making 7.3. Doesn't seem fair since you beat me in the regular season and playoff rankings.

I think the biggest difference is the OTR bonus I have from spending an extra season in III.11. It's too bad that the bonuses awarded to promoted teams haven't been applied retroactively.

Ok, I was thinking this through tonight.

The problem is that there are advantages to relegation, a huge advantage for promotion, but no incentive to avoid relegation and maintain position. That creates an imbalance.

Consider the case of the Hamilton Hammers (no disrespect to you CaptainCheese).

The OTR benefit is huge. The Hammers, relegated from II.3 to III.11 in season 6, have 324OTR. The nearest in II.3 are Canadiens100ans at 281OTR, who have finished in the top 6 in each of the last 3 seasons in II.3.

The Canadiens have clearly been the better franchise over the past 3 seasons, but have a significantly lower OTR.

OTR affects so much: increased attendance, increased general sponsorship offer, and better national cup draw.

More souvenir sales because of increased attendance and increased popularity from the prize money awards.

The Hammers' 10.4M per week sponsorship offer is 4.3M per week more than the Magicians' who finished a very respectable 6th.

Add on the 35M bonus just for promoting, and the 4.3M per week difference increases to 6.5M per week.

The bonus provides incentive to promote rather than staying down and continuing to dominate. But there is no balancing incentive NOT to relegate and gain the benefits of relegation as listed above.

Rather than the currently structured bonus, how about awarding every team in the division a flat rate seasonal bonus. For example: 10M for each team starting the season in D-IV, 20M for D-III, 35M for D-II, and 50M for D-1.

Again, I think this is a good opportunity for intra-divisional competition to determine who gets the bigger flat rate bonus.

They did not say they would penalise the releguated team?

Because your text describe all the problem.

The penalty for the relegated team is a slightly larger OTR loss between seasons.

That being said, the bonus OTR from winning games and the bonus money for promoting would give you more money than the lost sponsors due to your OTR.

They got rid of that. It was going to be 40% loss for being relegated but it's the same as teams that don't get promoted - 30% still.

Well then... that is even more retarded.

This a problem that is easily resolved by giving a seasonal bonus to every team in the division instead of just the team that promotes.

If everyone in division II got 50mil and everyone in division III got 25mil, then there is an incentive to promote and not to relegate.

And everyone in div1 gets nothing :'(
