This is a good question. Also curious about the promotion rules for D.IV into D.III.

256 D.III teams. 64 of those need to promote to fill D.II. Sounds like, on average, 4 teams from each D.III league will promote.

64 teams from D.III are promoting, and a minimum of 32 are demoting. Although I seem to recall a rumor saying their would still be hyper promotion/demotion between D.III and D.IV for another season.

There are 66 D.IV leagues with humans in them. Seems like either half of the D.IV Finalists that didn't win will promote, or a lot more teams are demoting from D.III.

Not sure about your maths.

If 64 teams promote out of DivIII and 32 demote that means that only 96 teams from Div IV will be promoting to Div III.

If there are 66 Div IV leagues I assume that means that the 66 winners from these leagues will promote and that there will be an additional 30 teams from across the 66 leagues that will also promote.

Im assuming that these extra 30 Div IV teams that are to promote will be the 30 teams (from across the 66 leagues) who had the best seasons records but failed to win their league championships.

Is this how it will work?

As said, 64 teams needed into D2. Then there should be normal demotion from D3 to D4 (said in the rules), meaning that last teams from both conferences will demote. Then based on relegation series two others will demote. So totally 4 teams per league should demote. In total 128 teams demoting from D4 -> D3.

I have understood that promotion to D2 is based on exactly same rules than last season to D3.

And promotion from D4 to D3:
- so 128 seats available, 66 leagues so winners must be clear and my guess is that best ones of those who will lose finals. I would prefer same kind of ranking than last season (win - loss ratio and then scoring)

Thank you

So 64 teams promote out of Div III and another 128 teams demote out of Div III, meaning that there is 192 spots to fill in Div III.

If there are 66 Div IV leagues I assume that means that the 66 winners from these leagues will promote and that there will be an additional 126 teams from across the 66 Div IV leagues that will also promote to Div III

Wow that certainly is a lot of extra spots

Maybe only those that finish 8th should demote, make things a little more interesting for the D4 teams? ;)

Perhaps but then again having so many Div III teams demote might help bring justice to those teams who promoted last season by buying up geriatrics and didnt invest in their stadiums

No.
64 teams will promote + 64 teams will demote (4 teams from every league and 16 leagues)
=> total 128 new teams into D3

I think it is fair that normal demotion is used so that rushing into higher leagues has also own risks!

Not sure if promotion to II is clarified somewhere...same rules than last season from IV to III or this bot promotions?

(Those who think this is not needed - in my case it is really needed if you check situation in my conference!)

Why no one says anything about promotion this season. I am really curious about it and I have to buy players according to the promotion rules. 4 teams from each league and 2 teams from each conference? Long story short both conference finalists will promote?
