hello to everybody

i would like to know what are the promotion rules for the IV division. probably i will have a 21-1 record this season and the best record of my league. do i have to win the playoffs or will i go to the III division even i lose my conference-final?
they are around 40-50 teams in IV division with a better record or with better -/+ after the last regular season game..

Does anyone know where the cut-off has been last year for Div IV promotion?
I'm hoping to end up with a 19-3 or 18-4, any chance that will be enough for non-champion promotion?

So in other words - no chance for promotion. Ok, guess I'll have to make an extra effort to win the Playoffs!

The teams demoting are 16x6=96. Therefore since there are 79 DIV, the 79 finals winners will go up and another 17 teams will promote based on where they finished and record. In practice you must have one of the 17 highest record/PD combination for all the conference winners who didn't win the finals.

Actually there are 80 leagues IV right now. Nevertheless I hope I won't promote with a 20-2 record, unless my team wins the championship. But thats rather unlikely given the opponents rosters and some experiences from regular season.

Did you finish first in your conference? The tiebreakers for the remaining 16 (+any bot who finished 5th or better in D3 +any bot from D1 and D2, because these ones will have to be replaced) spots is like this:
1. Best record among division winners
2. Best PD among division winners
3. Best record among division runner-ups
4. Best PD among division runner-ups

So if you won the division with a 20-2 record and you have one of the best 20-30 records (for division winners) in D4 you have a very good chance of going up (considering that some conference winner with a better record will probably win the playoffs).

For example looking at your league, if the 22-0 wins the playoffs and promotes directly, then he won't take one of the 16 remaining spots.

Hmm, crap, just what I tried to avoid. I'm pretty sure, Etonic will win the POs. I guess my only chance to stop him, is to give the finals spot to Pittsburgh because his roster has a better chance for a finals upset against Etonic.
Anyway, thanks for the clarification

Should be my final. Some bad strategy sunk me against Pittsburgh
