Which TV used for calculating spiralling expenses

[Lines]

My question is which Team Value you use to calculate for spiralling expenses. Since it is in the post match sequence it leaves several options

1, You use the TV you started the game with
2, You use the TV you started the game with but include players that missed the game beause the game is over and they don´t longer miss.
3, Paying for spiralling expenses is done in step 3 of the PM-Sequence so everything you roll for before step 3 is included in calculating the TV for it: a, subtract player values for killed players. b, add additional values for player improvements. c, subtract the values of new MNG players. d, what about the players that missed the game that was just ended?

Thanks for your answers

There are only two points in the game where Team Value is calcuated (and that's what matters). Changes that would affect TV don't matter until you reach these steps.

Those 2 steps are:

1) Are transferring Petty Cash
2) Step 8 of the Post Game

So when Step 3 happens ... Team Value would be the Team Value you started the game with + any Petty Cash you used for this match.

We were just starting to wrestle through the spiralling expenses in our league and it took a fair amount of parsing of the text and wrestling with the numeric sequence of events in the Post Match Sequence on p.29 before we reached the above conclusion too. It was complicated to sort through because paying expenses is item 2.3 on the list, after a number of items that would change the team's value occur, but before other value-changing events. Eek.

I think 2 clarifications would help here to avoid headaches:

* Move item 2.3 to 2.1.

* Add extra text, "Any gold left in petty cash is transferred back to the treasury and then each coach must now pay for spiralling expenses (as described later) through gold in the treasury based on the team's value as it was at the start of the match plus any petty cash spent for this match.
