i was just browsing through the roster of all the IPBL teams when i noticed a pattern in the Big 8 and Great 8 teams.all the big 8 teams had their team IDs in 5 digits while most of the great 8 teams had their team IDs in 6 digits.i think that this explains the placements of the teams after promotion.the teams with he team IDs in a 5 digits are placed in Big 8 according to their records in their respective leagues and the teams with team IDs in 6 digits are placed in Great 8.if there are 3 teams with team IDs in 5 digits but there are only 2 spots in Big 8 then one of them(probably with the worst record) is placed in Great 8.the same can be said about placement in Great 8.

but is there any team who has a 6 digit ID and is in the Big 8 of your league?? cuz if that is the case then league IPBL would be a really symmetrical league.

A lot of teams, myself included, have been in both Big 8 and Great 8. I think your original discovery was a coincidence.
