We get reshuffled, and won't get any media money. IMO, the "A" leagues are where the media money is needed the most. Yippee....
Forum > USA A Leagues > USA A #6 > So apparently, those of us who don't get promoted get the two pronged forking...

Yeah, I think Bort should make an exception for USA A Leagues as our suggested level range is even, or higher than some top AAA from other regions I have checked out.

Meh, you just have to get to the Championship usually. In some cases just the 2nd round will do it. That's how the VGW's got shafted after our 15-1 season in BBB. We made it to the 2nd round and lost, but still got promoted way before we should have and costing us some major money that we have made back through being frugal and having great agents that have been willing to wait for equipment.
That media money is going to be great though. That will cover 50% of most teams yearly salary and free up quite a bit of money for equipment.

lmao, I'll see what I can do
I actually got lucky in season 7 buying an inactive only expecting to have him until the end of the season, but he signed on and had a season 8 day 40 contract waiting for him that he signed. Then I tried it again and had a Season 10, or 11 day 40 waiting and he signed that before going inactive again. Well worth the cash, lol!

Either you are paying your players a lot more than I am or one of us is reading that incorrectly.
It is talking about game weeks -- not real weeks.
I am only paying $266K a day or $532K a game week so the $843K a week is more than the yearly salary.
If I am under-paying my players, don't tell them

think of this. there are a bunch of teams in all leagues in the usa a aa aaa and pro that are gutted and will be selling off due the decline situation. so some teams might also get promoted just due to the face of dropped teams.
how pissed would a 1 or 2 seed team lost in a first round upset and didnt get promoted

Been there -- Done that.
Wasn't that big a deal that season because we (not the Vulcans) were not really ready to jump but the difference in payoff between A and AA will be huge -- I believe the expected ticket prices even bump up between those levels as well (They do not between BBB and A).

That was the Bears last season. This is why i`m vindictive and cocky this year. We should of been promoted but an upset changed all that.

It is kind of odd that almost all of the top teams think they will lose in the first couple of rounds.
But, when you have been burned a few times, you are not as quick to assume you get promoted.
The whole promotion system needs an overhaul -- not just the lower leagues.
I can see the teams in the Title game -- and maybe even the Conference Title game -- getting promoted.
But to promote a 6 seed because they happened to beat the 3 seed in the first round is unfair to both teams -- that could easily be a 10-6 team over a 13-3 team.
After the participants of the 3rd round games are promoted, it really should look at the best remaining regular season record.

agreed it happened last season to the Louisiana state tighas and chances are it may happen this season. I went down from USA PRO to earn my way back up the way the system is now they just give promotions away imo
