I Finished season 45 in Estonian III.2 league with 21W-1L, basket difference 900. Already purchased players for II league, but now I found out I still didn't get promoted... Things are financially bad for the team now, wanted to change team name too with promotion money...

I checked that teams Pilistvere Spartak & BC Betoonsein from III league got promoted but finished last season with 20W-2L.

How's that possible?
I had 21 wins, 1 loss
They had 20 wins, 2 losses

No one didn't win their league.

I'm still in III league
They're in II

Please help

The reason is your conference rank is not better than theirs.

The Game Manual in Standings page says,
"One extra promotion spot will be awarded to the team with the best regular season record (ranking being the most important criteria)."
The rank here means conference rank.

If you read the game manual in Utopia League page, then you will find the following sentence.
"Along with the conference champions, the rest of the promoting teams will be determined using the usual bot promotion ranking system (ordered by conference rank, wins, forfeits, point difference and finally points made)."

Thanks for responding.

Still seems a little unfair system to me. My team has better world rank etc.

When someone finishes their conference first with let's say 15-7, then team who finishes their conference in second place with 21-1 would still not get promotion, even if they are most likely a stronger team.

Season before I finished first in my conference with 20-2, but did not get promoted either.

Already was preparing for II league, because was comparing win ratio, so now the finances are negative and seems that this season is ruined already..
