Yes, the promotion from D3 to D2 will work like last season's promotion from D4 to D3.
D4 to D3 this season is another story though, as I already explained in
(257780.43). Last season we had bots in B3 which we cleared out. This season, one quarter of D3 teams will promote to D2. Another quarter of D3 teams will demote to D4. This means that we, again, have lots of room for promotion from D4 to D3 (16*4+16*4=128 places, to be exact). There is one problem though - we have more than 64 leagues in D4. This means that not all conference winners will be able to promote. Only human league champions (probable number of those is 68) will have a guaranteed pass, while the rest (60 places) will be filled with the best of the rest - by rank. The ranking used is the usual one (the one used for bot promotion, only looking at the standard season results).
There might be some surprises yet (this is new territory for us too, remember?), but we're certain we can handle it to your satisfaction. I'm glad, personally, that this Utopia story is still developing and is as exciting as it was in the beginning and hope you guys are still having fun playing in it.
