In dependent variable , we use two way of dependent , one is attendance per game ,another is the rate of full capacity . Result of this study show:The competitive balance degree with league , there is positive relationship with Central League , means that while league in more uncertainty , attendance will increase .It is conform to our expect value . There is negatitive relationship with Picific League , means that while league in more uncertainty , attendance will decrease . The competitive with two team of the game , if the sum of score in last game is more , attendance will increase in this game . If the difference of score in last game is more ,attendance will increase in this game . And the ability of the deployment with coach , is positive relationship to attendance , so team managers should training or hiring more professional coaches . We suppose that , the reason to affect the difference result of competitive balance in two leagues , is difference of the rules , just like announce starting pitcher , or the history of the teams and leagues .
