Happy to consider fixed term club swaps. As in, swap clubs for a fee but only for one, or two seasons. So if it's a one season deal, you get my spot in Div1, I get your spot in whichever Div you're in. At the end of the season, we swap back our clubs. If CRO2 allows that kind of deal of course heh.

This means a cheaper fee -- and perhaps a way for you to promote anyway (if I manage to get your team promoted). It's a risk to me too, since you might get relegated

Anyone with offers, please let me know.


I don't think it's off topic. I personally have asked "tipsters" to participate in our contests, pools and BSFL. And in my mind, it's a no-brainer. If you're really that good, you should have no problem competing with regular gamblers.

In fact, I think it's a great advertisement for tipsters to come in and do well, proof of their supposed abilities.

First of all club selling isn't alowed yet. It will be implemented in Season 6 if the vote goes that way. Vote will be part of question form.

I don't see a problem with what you wrote if you trust the person.  But we will probably not take care of those details. Meaning we have no problem with you selling and buying back spot after one season but if that person doesn't want to sell back to you that is your problem. And both clubs will have higher league fees.

Could be we give more details about this to vote if first vote goes in favour and our idea changes over the season.

Nothing was mentioned about the position prize - if I swap a team with you and finish in a good position who takes the prize money? The original club owner or the rentee ? This could be very interesting addition and I'm honestly looking forward to it. Looks like we're going to have a lot of modifications and New Rules in season 6.

Although I do agree it would be better to have it immediately, it would not be totally fair to some people we would have to relegate to Div4 in this season.
We feel it's better to have one transitional season before we start with the new rules.


Yeah, it's like that in every game/competition though. No real way to tackle it for people that don't have a long-term outlook.
We're thinking about the club selling as a good way to maybe keep them interested. Imagine that you are in Div3 and you get kicked out - would you pay 1mBTC for a Div3 club? Well, maybe - so hopefully some guys will farm for that. There is also LMS and the Cup, not much more we can do with the reward pool that we have, which is quite significant for a 3-4 month competition when you take it all into account.

As always, we'll track what happens down there. But even if Division 4 gets dismantled, we'll still have 3 full paid leagues with 56 players - so we're almost there with what we planned when we started BSFL.


You can make all kinds of individual deals, just be careful that there is nothing we can do if things go south. This would be too much work for us but if you trust the guy on the other side of the deal - sure, no problem for us.

Regarding the swaps - we need to see how it would work. As Trofo said, let's see the votes first and then we have a full season to make the best possible method of selling/renting/swapping clubs.

I have to think more about this but we can use trusted escrow to lock funds until release date, so I am not afraid on anyone scamming me.
If anyone is willing to pay the money than they are putting their reputation on the line, and I am not doing any business with newbies.
Another interesting idea is for someone to own more than one club 

Now we dont have official sheriff to monitor everything, but you hire some cheap workers to do all the hard work for you 

I think that selling spots is going to increase the interest in lower leagues as well. For example if I sell my team next season I'm going to try to be competitive when I start from the lowest league as well. In this way I think that the quality in lower leagues will also increase. If we look at the comments on the thread, I guess the majority is leaning towards this idea quite much. 

It will drive competition to its peak imo, and I don't imagine some paying 30-50 mBTC failing to make a submission, I understand there are always unforeseen circumstances in play, but it is going to reduce a lot where there is lot at stake and then like some mentioned it is going to make a BSFL team rather more like an asset and would drive more value across to the entire league or even forum imo.

Wanna bet against me? You say jeremypwr, I go with myself. 2mBTC sounds ok


No restrictions, we want to make it easy for all members that want to buy their way up be able to do so.
Stuck in Div 3 for a while? Pay and up you go. Wanna join but don't want to go to Div4? Sure, you can do that too.

The league wouldn't have a guy less, the highest placed one from the league below that didn't earn promotion would be promoted.

Trading places is something we have to thoroughly discuss, we will do that if the poll says yes - which seems likely.

I would sell for this price yes but I wanted 50% of any profits for first 3 years:P It's the cheapest pricetag among everybody, but that is also my extra term I want.

Anyway thou that for Season 6 now as I read all the responses. But it seems everyone agrees so lets see again next season @Spack17

How about a sidebet. I will take any Div4 player to finish better than casperBGD (sorry bro).

Only got free money from Trofo and cryptofrka on promotions of LFC_Bitcoin and Igebotz. Need more guaranteed satoshi to celebrate Season 5
