Mx, true, Wettbewerbsverzerrung. But then again, say, relegation fighting team A plays Bregenz with Lawaree and, say, Regtop, suspended for cards. Relegation fighting teams B doesn't have the the same luck. Well,....
Or, the champion chills and Bregenz wins away at the champion and suddenly is a serious contender for UEFA....
Wettbewerbsverzerrung happens different ways. But I get your point and confirm it valid, however not full blast. E.g. today's Knaller was Wettbewerbsverzerrung AGAINST the Amateure and usually there are no CL players involved. Hasek was the exception and reports tell, he did not rule these 2 games at all. No wonder, yesterday he suffered a cramp in 85th minute, which I havn't seen in a long time, and after the game he walked in socks clearly in blister pain. Again, I get your point, but if you look over the whole season, you get mostly unexperienced youngsters having big difficulties playing the other teams. But anyways, I'm with you to rule the farm teams out, but then we need a league for them. So I supportt the U23 idea, but not the reserve. What's the use for a reserve league ? Teams should not be supported with a league for tons of senior players they load on and on in their in their rosters. .
