I'm in a situation where I have a one game lead for 4th place and could probably easily hold onto the 4th seed if I CT my last game against the current 5th seed (not to mention it is also a TV game). I was wondering if it is more beneficial to get 4th place for the playoff money and fan survey or slot down into 5th place. Thanks in advance.

Also not to throw you under the bus (except I am), but you have only once finished 5th place in your very first season before strategy was even something you probably thought about and you do not appear to follow your own advice for in your past seasons you have walked into the playoffs as the 3rd-4th seeds multiple times.

It's such a secret strategy, apparently he's keeping it a secret from himself.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

You said place 4-5th correct. Like said I if cant get 1-2nd spots I try to get 4-5ths. Does not matter ,If i get 3rd-4th. Because my aim was 4-5th, if I got better than that, then it not a issue. I always have a plan for next 5 unplayed games.

I think your looking at it too hard. Like I said I have my way to squeeze into those positions and a plan, its better to get 4-5th than 1st. in most cases. Some would differ with that because of road games and etc. This depends on how your season is ending in that area and players etc. I think you can figure the rest out and build a plan for your self with what I just said.

Btw it wouldn't be a secrect If I told, now would it.(lol)

Say you finish 4th, the probably number 1 seed (if we look at your league now) doesn't have a big arena (13k for a team that once played in NBBA?), nor the prices set very high... Finishing 5th you'd probably save on salaries but it doesn't look like you have a big payroll to take advantage of it anyway... I say finish 4th for some merchandi$e and a slight increase in season ticket$ next season.
