Financial suggestions - some may be unbalancing ..

1. Proceeds from bot home games get evenly distributed to both teams in the match.
2. Teams that get a bye in the Regional Cup get some compensation from sponsors for getting the bye.

Reasons for both: If you're a team that plays their finances tight (as I am but I'm sure there are others) if the schedule doesn't favor you over the first few weeks of the season (as mine doesn't, but I'm sure there are others) you can end up being in a really bad spot that you're digging out of for weeks if not lose your team.

Both of these suggestions help the cause. One home game in the first three weeks and no RC action means you need to avoid doing anything the last few weeks of the previous season or cut rosters and expenses if you're putting the best possible team on the field.

I like it the way it is. You just not cut it so tight and manage your finances to cover these cases. Anyone who has been around a while has had to manage through these issues. I like that there are some financial management challenges.

That's entirely fair and all opinions are good ones. However, there's too much risk going from season to season as it is now.

1. Don't know sponsor
2. Don't know new salaries
3. Don't know schedules
4. Can't count on first few rounds of RC

So it's not really about skill in dealing with the challenges. It's about not growing your team for the last quarter of the season while you're competing. Seems off.

Sponsorships vary a little, but they're largely predictable. Salaries, for their part, can be predicted by looking at each player's highest (non-physical) skill. Someone can probably find the table; I've been away for a while and forgot where it's posted. This is more work than a simple best guess, of course, but if you're cutting things close financially that's the cost of knowing if you're OK or not.

As for schedules and RC, that's a fact of life - and a reason it's not good to make plans where both need to work out.

I don't understand why proceeds from bot home games would be split but not other home games. Any particular reason for this? I understand you have two away games to bots in the first three weeks of the season. Sorry to sound like a jerk but the fact that you could have used a payout in those games isn't a great argument, to me.

As for the regional cup.......well in twelve seasons i've had two first round matches. If you like those odds you're more of an optimist than I am. I don't think of it as losing money, it's just an unexpected bonus for the lucky ones.

As David said, the other factors are actually fairly well predictable with a little planning. If you're cutting your finances that closely then i'm guessing a lot of seasons are going to be a struggle to stay afloat.

First, no one sounds like a jerk.
Next, no one needs to be sorry.
Last, the open forum for suggestions is a bad idea. If I thought any of you were right enough for me to suddenly change my opinions, I'd post in the opinion forum.. Oh wait, there is no "opinion" forum... guess you should shut up.

So I'm right, you're not. Bugger off.

Seriously though, if there's a salaries chart, that's 90% of the problem regards to planning so I'd love to see it. Other things can be figured out over time.

Do bear in mind that these figures vary some. What exactly drives the variation, I don't know - theories include other skills than the top skill, talent, experience, random variation, and more. This is how you get players earning $104,000 (for instance). So any plan based on these figures should have some wiggle room.

I don't might the suggestion for financial support for missing cup games in early rounds. Not sure how one would provided said support though.

Coming from a smaller region than NA fpr example, I have 3 less games than the NA region. So potential to loose $3.75M compared to a similar team in the NA region.

All other suggestions are easily overcome by the ideas and help already provided.
