I am currently 19-1 and i was wondering what my chance for promotion is if i do not win the championship. I am only worried because there is another 19-1 team in my league.

If someone were to relegate with the same record, I'd assume the one with the better score difference would be the team.

it is a matter of how many computer controlled teams there are in USA Div.III and how many 22-0 finishing teams there are in USA Div.IV

To promote by bot promotion, you need first to win your conference.

Then, from the group of teams who won their conference, but were not overall league champions, the teams with the best records (tiebroken by PD) are selected for promotion.

Bot promotions only take place for bot controlled teams that are not already going to demote via relegation. The only difference is teams from higher divisions that are bot; they demote all the way down to D5, thus opening potential spots in the division below where they are relegating.

Typically there are only a few bot promotions into D3, but this season I think there are a few D2 teams that have gone bot. That opens spots in D3 which you might be able to get into. I don't think I'd bank on it though.

As said you certainly have to win your conference. Then you need to go through every other division IV (64) and see what the best records are. Then look at all division III bots and see if there are any that wont be relegated normally. If there are any division II or I bots they create an automatic promotion.

Then at the end of the season there will be X bot promotion spots and the X teams who won their conference with the best record that didn't win the championship will be promoted.

Good luck.

Remember, you also have to include the D2 teams that go bot. Even if they are set to relegate, when they are placed into a D3, they then drop again, opening another spot in D3.

Still, as there are only maybe two D2 teams that are bot, that only adds two more spots. So the moral of the story is: Win your finals series!
