I am the player on Hong Kong League 2.3 at Season 40; Synchronicity .
At Season 40 I have the 3rd best league record 20-2 in all four Hong Kong Division 2 leagues

where the best record teams have won the championship respectively (2.3 Knights Templar and 2.1 無名火).
I believe that I should be promoted to Division 1 according to the following from the manual:
'One extra promotion spot will be awarded to the team with the best regular season record of the lower division. 'However, I discovered the system promoted a team with a worse record than me getting a promotion to division 1 (18-4 LA HongKongers).

Is it a game bug or I misunderstood this rule? I am quite confused for this situation. Thanks...
