The way it works is that only teams that win the championship are guaranteed promotion. There are 4 times more leagues in div. V than in div. IV, so all those winners replace the 4 teams (2 automatically, 2 after relegation series) that get demoted in each div. IV league. The "extra" promotion of some teams happens to clean up bot teams that did not get relegated, and the ones that get promoted are the ones with the best regular season record which did not win the championship. In your case it means that all the bot teams replaced in div. IV made way for teams that won 22 or 21 games in div. V last season (the tie-breaker is the point differential).

Ahh, the problem is that you didn't win your division. Every single division winner was ranked ahead of you in the bot promotion line, so you had no chance.

Second Team:
Canada Purple Haze BC
Let's see if I've this straight:
You finished 2nd in your division and got knocked out
in the FIRST round of the playoffs by a 17-5 team in a home game
and you expected to promote?
You really didn't have a chance - You need to start listening to new people

A team who finished 1st with a 18-4 record will replace a bot before than a team who finished 2nd with 21-1 in other division.

The manual says
the next best teams in your division will promote to fill in any Bot-controlled team spots in higher leagues
. In my interpretation, "best teams" are the ones with the better records, not the division winners.
