Here are some facts about the availability of Bot promotion among some others:

No Bots in NBBA

Division 2
Relegating Bots: 3
Clan MacLeod*, Mapleton Mashers, Anonymous

Division 3
Non-Relegating Bots: 1
Organized Chaos*

Relegating Bots: 19
xxChicagoBullsxx, Jacktown, Bruno's Fighting Grizzlies, Engelbert Humperdink, Bunny Humpers, Failboat, The Flying Birds*, Bellaire Big Dogs, Rougher Nation, Illusion, holy cross crusaders, Pump N Run, Junior Varsity, James Van Der Banging, Georgetown1789, Wanted OutLaws*, Compton Nerds, Wall Street Wizards, and Victims of Success.

(* means that a team has not gone bot yet, but will go bot before off-season processing if they don't log in.)

This means that:
There is no spots open for a D3 team to bot promote.
There are 4 spots open for a D4 team to bot promote.
There are at least 23 spots for a D5 team to bot promote.

This also means:
There are 3 D.III leagues that will not get a D.II demotee, giving a D.III league a 18.8% chance of not getting one.
There are 19 D.IV leagues that will not get a D.III demotee, giving a D.IV league a 29.7% chance of not getting one.

Well, except that we know by acclimation that III.5 will get a nasty II demotee, because it's a league that kicks you in the crotch to break up the monotony of stomping on your face.

Two of the four bot-promotion spots to D.III have already been claimed by undefeated D.IV teams who couldn't put it together in the QF's.

Not to engage in public shaming, but: (55681898) (55681527) ;-)

So, all you 21-1 D.IV teams with good PD, hold your breath and pray for the remaining undefeateds: (235078.37)

Did The Coolness Factor look at the leagues the 4 bots were in and choose to take his chances there rather than a random league?

Makes ya wonder, huh. Although I would rather be in a tough league with a ticket sales boost than a not as tough one and fending for myself. But I also lost 4games in the regular season. ;)

Well, it would be an even less attractive proposition given that three of the potentially four spots are caused because teams are demoting from II, and since they're demoted to random III series, it's that much less likely to know where they'll end up.

As long as you remember that while league protocol has no restrictions on the footwear to be worn when stomping the face, there is an active prohibition on wearing pointy or steel-reinforced shoes during the kicking of the crotch segment of the schedule.

Is it possible you could join us in III.1 instead? I believe you'd be a good addition to our happy home :)

The only happy part of that home is the Big 8.
