Наслов: Questions & Answers

I'm reading it for all day It's like an interesting book - I want to know what will be in the end = ))

It's not about random, random was a slight detour in discussion. It's about CWC and CL.

I know what an impact those two cups can have on a team because I was first season in CWC and "somehow" managed not to qualify next season. You can't imagine what downfall in OTR I had despite good games which led my team to 1. place in regular season.
So, something has to be done with these OTR bonuses.
I'm more for cutting off this international bonus a bit, instead of playing 5 games in PO (it doesn't mean it is not interesting thought, it is just not as realistic as first option).
It's just that there is very big gap between regular participants of CWC/CL and those who couldn't hop in.
I wan't that gap to be smaller, can't you agree?

Ok, a question for Vlady now.
I just recieved a message: "Our team has qualified for the Champions' League thanks to great performances..."
Was the first morning sponsor offer generated including this situation even if it wasn't there yet, or it will be bigger after this notion?

Agreed. The OTR bonuses do nothing to encourage competition. After all, what is the point in trying to be the best when teams are getting bonuses we're not.

My thoughts as well...

I always love when I wake up to 30 new messages in a topic. I know I'm in for some good reading

Something was rather messed up. This news and also the ChL and CWC schedule should have been done before the first offers. So I fear that yes, this mornings offers did not reflect the fact that you have qualified

And I've already accepted mine.
Could you add me some extra money ?
What now?

I disagree, but it might be a perspective thing. My goal right now is to win/advance from II.1, so anything else is just icing on the cake.

Maybe OTR becomes a bigger issue in I.1, but from seeing some of the sponsor deals people are talking about I was able to get similar deals as much bigger teams than me, so maybe it's not really that big an issue.

oh my, good thing I didn't accept mine yet then

Yes, but those teams are getting big OTR bonuses, so their team is growing stronger MUCH faster than yours is. You might get to Div 1, but some of the teams up there are going to be so much stronger due to their OTR bonuses that they simply dominate, and we have very little chance of catching them.

For me, it's not about the money issue at all.

Well OTR does come into play when you get to be as far ahead as the force etc - but we're talking a very small number of teams in the overall picture. The US is tiny compared to the larger (game anyhow) countries so the impact looks much greater than it is.

nice, that its possible to choose contracs for skyboxes, but the offers are still a bad joke.

Well, it can't be like this - what's done is done. Lady luck should not interfere in these things. I just want to know for how much I'm screwed here.

I saw my offer this morning but I didn't accept it and it is still the same. Since it is 5 stars I'm not sure if I can gamble and reject it..
Hmm, it looks like teams that got low stars offer are in better positon and I thought I was lucky
