I disagree. Best teams after regular season should be preffered. Strange things happens in one game series so I don't think why someone who sneaks into playoffs someohow get into league finals should get better draft pick and bot promotion. What's the point to have a good record then?!

No, only if you've won your conference, AND have the record required, you can get promoted. So no more than one per league.

At least that's what happened in the past.

Just to be sure - are you aware of the possibility non-winner of any conference can win it all?

I can't say if winning a conference is a criteria but i can confirm best record followed by best point differential as next criteria is correct. No team which would have a record good enough and didn't win its conference at the same time occured in my county to prove the winning a conference thing.

I still think that it is strange that best team in regular season are chosen ahead of playoff losers after bot clean-up. Teams still get a huge benefit from winning the league so for me it does make sense that if you manage to reach far in playoffs that will be more rewarded even if it means that you could wait until days before playoff to strengthen your team. Such strategy are not especially wise though as players are much more expensive close to Playoff than at start of season.


I'd agree with this. I had the same situation way back in Season 2.

By leaving how it currently is, a team could waste enthusiasm trying to get a better regular season record in order to promote by bot cleanup (if bot cleanup is obviously going to happen), and lose in the first round of the playoffs.

Another team could save their enthusiasm for the playoffs, sacrificing a couple of meaningless (for playoff seeding) games in the process, and make the finals.

I feel the competitive nature of BB should always be pointed at going further in the playoffs. Why have playoffs at all if the regular season records are valued higher?

Yes, obviously a non conference winner can win it all, through the playoffs. But we were talking about bot cleanup relegation there.

That has been confirmed in other threads. Afraid that I could not check exactly how BB selects team for promotion if a lot of teams relegated after bot removement as most of our inactive and especially banned teams were not bots before new season.

Well, that was more of a report of this season observations than argument from me. I was bored because I faced a play off upset and had a longer off season than I wanted:)

Ok, le tm e explain it to prevent misundetrstanding. Everybody makes silly mistakes - me included, can overlook something. Usually one of conference winner wins the championship - not always I know. Since Jokehim used word "so" as he used I just wanted to make it clear what is/was his standpoint and if he realized there can be upsets and outsiders can win it - especially if he insisted that only one team per division is allowed to promote by cleanup.

Now as I'm typing I'm realizing that the last thing is wrong - in my country, there were to many bots in third division and too few in fourth that all fourth divison team promoted (there were only in three divisions and I'm sure more than one per divison promoted through bots).
