Onderwerp: II.1

sponsors is related to OTR and division

dont know much about it anymore but i recall when i studied finishing 1st on D2 would mean similar than the 5th D1 place. and 2nd 8th or something like that. finishing 3rd-4th means earning less than any D1 team.

Also when country has only 3 divisions, all divisions lose money and in special the 3rd one

so when USA has only 3 divisions money will be tight.
In short, if you are top or 2nd best team it is "ok" to stay in a lower division, but if you finish 3rd or lower you start losing money if you stayed lower in purpose.

and now that PPM will give lower teams a high draft pick, it is actually better to stay lower in higher division IMO.

assuming your SA is higher enough to take advantage

It seems to confirm what I was thinking. All what you mentioned is true as well about the prize money for the rankings (of course league rankings do not necessarily correlate with OR rankings). This should give people a better idea of how much money other teams make.

I think not.
I have the 1st pick in the today's draft because my SA and staff are the highest in II.1.
In I.1, I'd be picking 5th or so.

rank doesnt, but there is bonus from season ending and that counts too on what i said about the league ending. I dont recall exact anymore but i know for fact ending 4th or lower means losing money IF you could be at higher league

the 2nd and last draft where worst teams in league get the best picks. and its best to grab the best potential at the start of the season, not in the middle.

Outstanding draft!
I only scouted 1 A and about 6 Bs.
So, I drafted my A with first pick, then a B with the second and all the Bs were gone.
So, I just drafted an unscouted player and it comes out another A!
Anf then with my 4th pick I got a C.

Still... I managed to score 2 As.
Best draft for me perhaps ever.

Of course As don't necessarily translate into actually good players for whatever reason... We'll see.

When you didn't even know there was a draft...

All 4 of your picks show as Bs to me. I'm showing that I landed 1 A, 2 Bs, and a C. Guess we'll see what they really end up being when they arrive.

From what I'm hearing so far from US and the other countries maybe PPM did make the draft better.

That's very interesting.
I thought the inaccuracy of scouting was just during scouting and once the draft happens, we see the real grades.
But this discrepancy indicates that the grades are off even after the reveal.

Also I show that you drafted B,B,C,D...

My outcome appears to be somewhere in the middle. I'd say B, B, C, C is more how my picks turned out. How about you?

Waiting on scouting but looks like:
A,B+,B,C+

Oh my god I beat the Detroit Pistons.
