VFL Twitch TV Rights - How to Earn Extra Budget for your Team

    Yep, you've guessed it, we're going ahead with the fantastic idea that @Dagnaldinho suggested the other day to up our profile as a community and site on Twitch. But how does this benefit you and your club, and how do you take part? Simple really....

    This is basically a system that will award your club for games streamed on Twitch. It really is simple as that:

    Streaming Higher Tier Games - 500k budget per game
    Streaming Lower Tier Games - 250k budget per game

    When you stream, set up the title as follows [VFL TEAM A vs. VFL TEAM B - The League You Play In - www.the-vfl.com]

    The only "annoying" part you guys need to do is archiving your streams so we can verify that you actually did stream the game. Doing it is simple though, and instructions to do it are:

    1 - Log in to your Twitch.tv account

    2 - Go to your profile, then go to Settings

    3 - Click the Channels and Video tab

    4 - TICK the box that says "Automatically archive my broadcasts"

    Once you've done that, it's a simple process of setting up a thread in your lounge, and posting links to your archive after every game day. So if you do every game from now, you should have 18 links in this thread by the end of the season. Then, you will have your total multiplied by your end of season finishing position percentage. So, an example, if you finish top in the BPL and have streamed all 18 games as of tonight, that is 18 x 500,000 = £9,000,000, the finishing percentage for 1st place is 50%, so the top team would be awarded £4.5m extra for the new season. Nothing massive, nothing meaningless :)

    Since it's a TV rights setting, we're only covering domestic at the minute as I haven't really thought of an idea for cup budgeting as it really does depend upon the team you face.

    Lets dominate Twitch boys and girls!​

    Question about this... When you archive your broadcasts they only save for 14 days, so when admins check the links for proof at the end of the season won't the broadcasts be deleted/removed by then?

    I think i'll be streaming my games next season, but have a question, excuse me if this has been answered.

    I understand that you can earn X amount extra funds for your Club via streaming the games, which is great...but what happens if you finish say midtable, and someone else takes your club who finished higher based on the fact you have better finances, like what happened on the team selections recently?

    My experience in Ligue 2 this season was all the bigger budget teams where taken first, and by teams that had no budget, essentially fucking the teams that finished midtable.

    I'm not saying protect them, and i'm sure most people will say, we'll, they should have finished higher, tough luck.

    What i'm getting at is say someone starts with a small budget, but spends the season getting by with no real contacts and moderate success, streaming the games to improve the clubs finances for next season.. he could then have all the extra cash he generated swept from underneath him, and in actual fact he's not benefiting himself but the next manager.

    Iunno, maybe this isn't a thing, and teams that finish higher should gain the advantage, I just feel that there will be some teams who stream, gain the extra income and then get screwed by someone whos got a more established team simply becuase he knows more players or is more known around VFL.

    I'm new to this side of VFL, so thought asking rather than assuming would be better.

    Again, sorry if this has been covered.

    EDIT: Btw, the idea of gaining cash through streaming is fantastic, taking nothing away from that.

    Fair point fox but team swaps like this only happen at the beginning of a new FIFA from my understanding :)
