Congrats to Stogey, who wins yet another Cup title and cements his place as the best Cup team in USA history.

Congrats also to Vikman, for an incredible run to the final.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score

Thanks! Wish I could have played my starters and made it a really contest but oh well that's how it goes. Congrats to the Bulls for the cup win!

Thank you thank you.

This achievement is really a testament to Burlington Estates Arms, the only team to ever beat me in Cup play.

It's nice to have my scrubs beaten by the eventual cup champion ;)

do you make decent money in the cup runs?

do you make decent money in the cup runs?

I would say so. This year was kind of abnormal, because 9 out of my 12 Cup game were at home. I would say I earned an average of 140K per home cup game (just a guess) so:

9 * 140 = 1.26mil (equal to the buying price of one of my starters)

and my other 3 Cup games maybe added up to around 300K. So close to 1.5mil.

However, if you look at my league games, I lost some real close ones that I probably would have won had I not rested/focused for the Cup. So I guess that must be taken into account.

The money is nice, but I just like having three competitive games every week (4 actually with a decent PL).

I know my teams nowhere near your caliber as I've only a few god players, but I've been debating trying for a good cup run next season. I'll most likely be promoted into the lower table of D.III. I just don't know if I would prefer to try for two promotions in two seasons or for a more profitable cup run and than promotion the following season.

I'm not sure you can look at it that way. Each week I would address differently. It depended on how important the league games were that week.

I wouldn't put all your eggs in the Cup basket, because more than likely you'll have to beat a few NBBA teams along the way.

Just to clarify, that's $1.2M total from the 3 TV games.
