Update on the situation: the teams in bold are out of the playoffs. Fun fact: both D3.3, 20-2 teams have lost the semifinals :P. Teams #002 and #006-#009 will definitely be promoted via bot promotion, while #013-#016 will have to hope nobody above them loses. #021,#022 and #024 won;t be promoted unless another D1 team or D2 non relegated team goes bot before the end of the season (I checked and it didn't look likely).

Yes, you need to win the Finals, because you ended up 2nd in the regular seasons standing and bot promotion will initially check among all the guys who won their conference. Therefore since there are only 9 bot promotion slots and 16 conference winners who cannot win their league, it's impossible for a team who was second at the end of the regular season to be promoted without winning their regular season.

Good luck for the finals mate

this is not fun :(.

Ouch, sorry :(. It's was just an odd coincidence that both #1 seeded teams with 20-2 lost the semis. No offense meant (:|

Only Hopkins Blue Jays lost in the finals, so the final list of teams that should bot promote in D3 is the following:
Bot Pr. Rk..League..Conference..Conf. Rk..Team.......................W........L.........PD
#002......III.15........Big 8..............1.........Rolling Bushes...........21........1........606
#005......III.11........Big 8..............1.........Hopkins Blue Jays......20........2........683

#007......III.3........Great 8............1.........Le triomphe...............20........2........589
#008......III.13......Great 8............1.........Buxy Team.................20........2........480
#009......III.3..........Big 8..............1.........Zuper Julio................20........2........452
