How many teams per league typically get promoted? I'm currently in 3rd in my conference (7-3) and am wondering what shot I have to advance. Do I only advance if I win the championship?

How long did it take some of you guys to get out of league V? This is my first season (I joined right before the playoffs last season). I'm anxious to move!

Typically only the team that wins the championship gets promoted.

Every season though there are some repechages so it may be that you get promoted even though you don't win the championship in your division.

Generally it's the team that wins the championship. However, bot teams get booted out of upper divisions so the best, non-playoff winners in bottom divisions usually get promoted and sometimes teams get lucky and even more get promoted.

Third place in your division will likely be too low to even get you out of DV, but it's possible. I would either gamble on finishing first in the league or save some enthusiasm, money and tactical tricks to make a strong playoff run and try to win the championship.

you either need to win the championship or get a good record of win-lose... teams with the best record replace the bot ones
you have already 3 defeats... if you check the other teams in V Div you could see how you doing... else make sure you enter the playoffs with much enthusiasm to win the champ.

because your in the bottom division, im gonna say that you will get promoted if you have the 3rd best record in your league (not conference)

Ive played for 2 seasons. at the end of season 10, 4 teams (not including me) got preomoted,
in season 11, another 4 rteams got promoted (including me) this was D.IV the lowest in canada

so if you are in 3rd in your League then chances are your getting promoted.

Good luck

aside from winning the championship, there is no guarantee that you will be promoted. i finished 1st in my league last season, yet i still wasn't promoted.

I confirm what kenny wrote, two seasons ago I finished top of my conference with a 21-1 record and lost the championship on game 3 and still didn't get promoted to Div. IV.

Now in my Div. IV we have a team that was sent out of the playoff in the QF last year in Div. V and still got a repechage slot.

So it's mostly unpredictable and with no guarantees
