No doubt in my mind that you have earned the home seed and have had the best team all season. I've never actually gone out and "bought" a promotion at the end of the season, although that had sort of been my plan this year. I'm glad to see the implementation on game shape going forward to limit this. Having said that, I still can't believe the prices people where willing to pay. I can understand 800-1 mill plus for a big man in the 180 up salary range towards the end of his prime (say 30-31?). I can't understand paying 800k+ for a 33-34 year old player. Insanse.
Good luck through the playoff's. Although the games have to be played still, I imagine you'll be enjoying the big paydays up in Div I next season.
