Thank you for the quick response.
It's unfortunate considering the rare situation in my league, where the team that got auto-relegated in our conference, would've been 5th in the opposite conference. Our side was just way more competitive.
Side Note: On top of that, I only lost the semi-final game by 1 point due to an injury 20 minutes into the game, while I was up by 20. But had I managed to hold on, advance to the finals, but lose to said injury, the team that I had just beaten despite the injury, would have auto-promoted. :/
