Is it possible to eliminate it entirely?

I have no idea.

In the beginning of the season, all bots are relegated and all human users promoted. I am not 100% sure whether the game uses situation before or after the cleanup to determine participants. If it uses the after-cleanup situation, there shouldn't be any bots ahead of human users.

Regretfully, nothing can be done for users who register midseason, so the problem will persist in one form or another.

Just for clarification, this is my fourth season at BB. My team was relegated to V in my first season, and I finished 5th in my division the past two seasons (9-13 last year).

Fair enough, I can understand that a few of the lowest level teams won't make it. I can certainly agree with the suggestion that humans be favored over computers, though really the goal is evenness, and I think that's best accomplished by taking the best teams.

Just was really wondering how it was decided... and suggesting an easier way to find teams not included (yeah, I know about the thread, but I doubt it'll be easy since my only hopes are generally newer teams).

Thanks :)

Juice almost managed to choke one away vs a dV bot.

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K...

Well, he probably WANTED to because of flag chasing. Also, he couldn't even lose! (unlike favorites Ice Storm BC). Now who do you think will win? I say KDB.

I think the Ice Storm players were so demoralized from losing to my bottom feeding team in the NBBA other night, they couldn't focus well on the Cup ;-)
