Relegation Watch

In the end this worked out very well. Mythical Man-Month and Sharman Gamethrowers both ended up where they wanted to be in 8th. Stunners took 6th in the big 8 so will wipe the floor with the bot Kotets. Elandstraat 263 were lucky to see the Miyazaki Freeters go bot and be replaced by the bot LANSEN. They survive.

So the relegators for season 19 will be:

Big 8
Mythical Man-Month (8th)
LANSEN (Bot but will be eliminated normally)

Great 8
Sharman Gamethrowers (8th)
Kotets (Bot but will be eliminated normally)

Bot Promotion Watch

Well the last regular season game has been played. There will be a bot promotion this season (due to no teams in 2/4) so the team with the best record gets a free ride to the JBBL.

We found out that the tie breakers for this are conference winner, then best record. So to win the bot promotion you will need to not win the title, win your conference and have the best record of those that do.

Shikoku Otaku 22/0 +1350
Okayama Chon 21/1 +1318
Sashiogi Heaven 21/1 +311
aisteru.4ever 20/2 +1261
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Baikinman 19/3 +1215
NKRK 19/3 +1091
Umi says 18/4 +534

It says something about 2/2 and 2/3 that a bot won the Big 8 in both divisiions.

So Shikoku Otaku are certain to make it to the JBBL next season, however I think they will fight and want the trophy so the bot promotion will probably pass down. You would think that Okayama Chon and Sashiogi Heaven could win against mostly bots but if they don't then the bot promotion is theirs. Assuming they do win the bot promotion will stop at aisteru.4ever because both he and Shikoku Otaku can't win the JBBL.

I wonder if Baikinman regrets this match?

Baikinman vs. aisteru.4ever 83 - 101 (43152292)
aisteru.4ever looked like the only team trying out there.

That match was the one that determined the bot promotion UNLESS Baikinman can achieve the impressive feat of making the 2/1 finals and beating Shikoku Otaku.

Unless something odd happens the 4 new JBBL teams will be:
Shikoku Otaku
Okayama Chon
Sashiogi Heaven
aisteru.4ever

I just hope we get Okayama Chon and Sashiogi Heaven in the Big 8 or the Big 8 could be very difficult next season.

It is funny but I never really considered it. I guess if I had spent a few million on last minute players I could have had an outside shot. But still I will stick with the plan and wait until my superstar trainees can play league games and help, not hinder me.

Also with Umari out I realise how shallow my roster is, really doesn't look like a JBBL playoff team but more luck than skill has gotten me there this season.

Well... that was my biggest score ever (I think). 152-58. Don't think next game's going to go so well tho'!

If Sharman goes to the Big 8 he could still get the best Great 8 record and get a bot promotion. Only a 1/8 chance of Sharman landing there, surely not...

Actually... Big 8's tougher than the G8 now. G8, there's only Shikoku & I... with Shikoku a certainty to promote.

2/1 it is aisteru.4ever v Shikoku Otaku in the finals at 1 win each.
2/2 Okayama Chon has won in 2.
2/3 Sashiogi Heaven has won in 2.
2/4 still all bots.

Meaning whoever loses out of aisteru.4ever v Shikoku Otaku will get the bot promotion. Well done it should be a very competitive JBBL next season.

Well... did pretty well out of the demotions.
