En GM svarade såhär när jag frågade det du speculerade
Hi,
Here's some info about promotions from the game manual: /community/rules.aspx?nav=Standings
Playoffs, and Promotion and Demotion of Teams
The four top-ranked teams in each conference will make it into the playoffs. There is a one-game elimination match between the 1st- and 4th-ranked teams and between the 2nd- and 3rd-ranked teams in each conference, followed by an elimination match between the two winners. When these champions are decided, the winners from each conference face off in a best-of-three showdown. The winner of the division finals is crowned champion of the division, and is promoted to a higher level of divisions. In divisions VI and lower, both playoff finalists will promote to the higher level of divisions. One extra promotion spot will be awarded to the team with the best regular season record (conference ranking being the most important criteria). And finally, to keep our community fresh and lively, the next best teams in your division will promote to fill in any Bot-controlled team spots in higher leagues. The league that a team will promote or demote to is random within the division that they are slated to go to.
So the criteria for the remaining promotion spot will be:
1. Conference Rank
2. Wins
3. Point Differential
You were rank #1 in your conference (Big 8). You need to check the other divisions (II.1, II.3, and II.4) to see if there are any #1 conference rank teams that didn't win the finals but have more wins and PD than your team.
