Throwing Matches?

I noticed Griffo threw today's OD match and in the FC table thread, Syl was talking about throwing matches. Why do people want to throw matches?
 
So they don't get promoted to a harder league where they will struggle and get relegated and lose lots of money. That or PFL issues and they have no chance of winning.

Usually anyway, pople have some other reasons aswell. Hoped I helped, Tom. :)
 
Why do you lose money if your relegated? Wouldn't you just be returning to your old division?

Well if you go up a league then you will lose lots of members if you get relegated again and you won't be filling out your stadium so won't be getting much money. The members mood won't be good so they won't be coming to the games. Virtually me this season.
 
Well I only have 16 or so people in my squad, so the team's are all overlapping with one another. I am coping fine in my OD league, should be around fourth
 
Im throwing games as my team isnt ready to step up to Division 4, even Syl doesnt think he is ready for Div 4 and he is miles above me. In australia there are some really tough Div 5 divisions and some weak ones.

My division has alot of teams around my level and syls is pretty weak (No offence syl lol)
 
I throw games during the season to maintain PFL, it's not to avoid promotion it's to finish as high as I possibly can. Looks like I'm finishing second in both leagues, 3rd in both is worst case scenario. I could have ran away with he OD league, but the lengthy cup run I went on has delivered more cash than promotion would have.

Well im on my way down from III Tom, all but two of the teams are around my level if not slightly better. I could get by in both or I could do what I'm doing now, keep 1st in OD and slip down in the FC rankings to demote which is where I am in 5th after I was 2nd at one stage.

Lol my one is weak just one team that stands in my way.
I saw some div 4 FC comps, if I get lucky I'll have an alright one if I don't I'll need to play full strength every game to win any.
 
GFI is great if you have the ability to bowl teams out. Playing a 60 over one day match will hardly tire your players.
 
Still haven't got a team yet and I signed up like over a week and a half ago. This is rubbish. I was really hoping to get back into BT when I was in the mood but now I don't know. Any reason why I haven't got a team yet?
 
Theres a waiting list for teams in each country, England and Australia have probably got the longest waiting lists, upto 2 weeks probably. I don't know exactly how many teams are activated each day but it doesn't happen overnight. Also currently BT is under alot of stress as there are increased numbers of active users so maybe its just slowing the whole process down.

Just checked, theres only 8 teams left in Englands waiting list at the moment, so it shouldn't be long
