I really like this idea and think it would add a lot to the off-season.

The only concern I would have would be if participation was dependant on supercup or league records. If a new team joined in the last few weeks of the season, they would likely have a worse record in both completions and could then miss out and potentially lose motivation. I think participation would have to be for all human players who missed out on their leagues post seasons. Perhaps it could be a series of mini tournaments based on the friendly cup structure and the members of each bowl could be determined based on ELO, manager rank, seasons played?

Not sure how hard something like that would be to code though.

I think this system should encourage to not can a season in league or supercup, so from my point of view not all should participate.
And if someone joins in the off season he will be overwelmed anyway I guess.


I was not expecting earning lots of money from those bowl games. We may apply some attendance restriction or even a "cheaper ticket" to lower the income generated. The idea is to include some fun after you got eliminated from league and/or SC until the start of a new season.

I agree with this, you shouldn't be able to out earn a team that qualified for the playoffs with these bowl games. Though if its based on season performance then I guess tickets should be worth more than generic friendly games?

And Jack6 after thinking about it I agree that qualification should be based on league or supercup record, perhaps 8-8 would be good enough for a team to be considered not having tanked?

yes, something like that.

In College Football it's a 6 win record (out of usually 12 games), so 50%.
So in League games that would be 8-8, but I would more prefere a supercup based challange und that would be 8-7.

At this time of the season this idea always get back to my mind. I have nothing to fight for since last week just like many other managers. I think some new managers may even "forget to log in" because there is nothing to do for their teams...

I would love to have such bowl games.

Just thought it would be great of the engine creates those games based on some metric, like elo, win-loss, whatever and 1 team gets the 'responsible' tag and could even upload a unique trophy for that.
Or even you get the chance to invite a team out of a bunch of teams.
Not sure how to do that.
