I am excited to see this play out. I honestly wish the winner would get some sort of draft capital for the 1,2,3 place teams. 1st-early second round pick 2nd-mid second round pick 3rd-late second round pick
Or something similar. Also get those numbers for winners up to $1M per player, with MVP getting another $1M going to charity of their choice.
“Each player on the winning team will take home $500,000; players on the second-place team will get $200,000 each; players on losing semi-finals teams will get $100,000 each; and the quarterfinalists will earn $50,000 per player.”
Doesn’t count against the cap - especially for some end of the bench players, this is very decent bank
I’m really struggling to understand what the point of the in season tournament is. Why do I want the season to stop, and any momentum to stop, so that our players can… Keep playing in games that don’t actually matter? I really don’t get it.
Same. But I thought the play-in tourney was stupid too until I watched it so who knows
