I think most teams have the correct ticket prices or near it.

Currently I lead season ticket avg at 378K/week. Lethargy is at the bottom with 258K. So most teams fall within 75-100% range of the top teams.

Promotion = roughly +$40K a week when tickets are priced optimally at Div II (over top winning teams).
Demotion = roughly -20K based on Silverbacks. Although that may be a bad example. For instance they sell better court/lux than I do, despite the demotion.
Good teams = +30K avg unless promoting (over losing teams)

The above assumes same size arena and ticket prices.

As for having a high level PR Manager, the general consensus is that it helps losing teams and demoting teams with little effect on winning or promoting teams. So towards the end of the season it will probably make sense for me to upgrade my PR Manager. However, Cassville Yuck for instance will probably not want to.

Overall, arena attendance although helpful long-term, its effect season to season is not that dramatic. Making cash via training and trading is quicker but more complicated.

Why is it when I find a player that looks like a bargain there is always some jackass from China bidding on him too? Well this time the jackass is the #1 player in China.

Last time I bid against some chinese dude it was for a really original player with like 12 shot blocking that was still a trainee. He ended up getting a sweet deal on him as it was around 3 am when the bid completed and I was fast asleep. Some guy who has made like 30 million on trades...where as I was going to use him as major component of my training long-term.

Nothing against chinese players, but damnit quit bidding on guys I want! You made enough money already! They must be descendants of Khan...maybe even carry his name.

Because I was sleeping, so the Department of Jackassery and Asshattery had to call in one of our overseas agents.

The worst is when I actually wake up at 3am to bid on a guy and someone from China still outbids me.

I think the waking up at 3am part alone would be the worst. I did once go grab my phone when I woke up at 5:30 and I knew a guy's auction was closing at 5:45, but I can't imagine setting an alarm to get up that time of the day for a BB player.

It was an Estonian named "Tit" that was trainable. It would have made me giggle every time I set my lineup.

I stand corrected. It's hard to fault a fellow for being up at night when there's Tits involved.

I hope you're all ashamed. How can the league suck so much that Michael Wray, admittedly the Michaelest Clogs draft pick ever, could be selected to the three-point contest? We'll ignore for now that part of it was that Yi and Schultz and everyone else on my roster has been taking donkey pipe injections and instead focus on what's important, which is your role in causing this state of perpetual suck. If I find out that Henry Busch is going to get nominated for Miss Congeniality, some heads are going to roll.

I have to say I'm pretty impressed that I locked down both third and fourth place at the SF position, though. Getting two bigs votes in a position is no whoop (I have both the starting and backup C in my utopia league because Jelme believes in ruling through tenderness), but having two at SF is kind of neat. Of course, actually getting someone in the game might be nice, too, but I think it's clear that I'm building a team of "not quite all-stars and how the actual hell did he just score 20?" players.
