Wait, if I finish last it doesn't mean I demote, right? There will be a relegation series first eh? And if so I believe I can stay in the league. Perhaps I should invest alot of money in my arena so I can keep this guy? I still think I am going to bomb the season, I don't want to miss out on this guy. And one more question, who do you think is the better draftee?

If you're in last place you automatically demote. There is no series. It just happens. 6th and 7th in each division get a playoff series for relegation.

Personally I think #7 is better. He has higher potential (and could potentially be an all-time great) and slightly better skills based on the scouting. I don't think the shorter height is a big issue since it will make training secondaries easier and if you're in it for the long haul with him then you're going to want high secondaries.

Keep in mind that we don't have a lot of "real" information about either player so one of them could have inept ID but respectable SB which could mess up the way their skills appear on the draft list.

Yeah, I totally agree. Definitely go with #7. 6'9" is great for a PF type and that is what Canada needs right now anyways. You could spend 1 or 2 seasons on guard skills and then start training his inside skills to really high levels. Plus, the 7'0" guy could end up being only superstar potential or something (I think) which wouldn't even be very useful for a big time NT center

There is no danger of any Canadian team dropping down to division V any time soon. Division IV is only about 25% full right now and until it reaches it's max capacity (1024 teams) we won't be seeing any division V Canadian teams.

Are you 100% sure of this?
My understanding is that the bot cleanup does not prevent teams from dropping, it just promotes teams already in a lower division. I swear I remember a BB saying that two teams per league always drop no matter what. Of course, I could be imagining that.

Deadlynoob, I would win a game, just to make sure you don't drop (you're tied for 7th/8th at 1-13). 85% sure still means 15% unsure. The season I spent in Div III I was intentionally tanking to get a good draft pick and thought there would be a playoff to stay up (in which I could just play my best line up and win etc etc etc.). Obviously, since I'm in your league, good old IV.9, that didn't work out. There are a couple managers in our league who are looking to promote next season - I would not think your promotion is guaranteed if they all stay active. The ease with which people promote out of a IVth Division is typically due to it being all bots.

Oh, and I doubt you'll get BOTH of those guys. I'd be thrilled if whoever you don't pick drops down to me!

As an aside, I quite like this new draft system, although I would encourage people not to post ages and heights of the players they have scouted - it kind of gives things away...

Not a 100%, but I'd say around 85%.


As long as there is still space for them in division I-IV, they will go back up. This is how it works:

-team demotes into division V either automatically or because they lost their relegation series.
-the bot clean-up comes along after this. If there is space for them in the higher divisions, they will go back up.

chances are it will still be div4 but just a different league (since div4 still has plenty of space)

pretty much just repeating what ur saying: demote to div5, bot clean-up, promote to div4

Turns out this guy got the player that he wanted, and then promptly went inactive. I wonder if he will be worth saving...
