In season 7 I scouted all division III (USA) series counting the bot teams not allready due to relegate because of standing. I also scouted all of the Div IV series looking for good record-no championship teams. I could have made a mistake, but if not I found that no team from IV USA auto-promoted with lower than 20-2 record, so if you were sitting at 19-3 or worse and didnt win the finals, you stayed put. I am inclined to believe that we will see a decline in auto-promotion as the seasons pass. With more teams filling out the bottom of the pyramid and the more dilligent and hard-core managers rising up the pyramid, we will see less 'quitters' for lack of a better term.

For those hoping to autopromote, hope this helps. It took me hours last season, and I am not up to it this year :P

Hello all friends.. I have a question about lucky loser. My team plays play off finals right now. My rival last entered the game at 15/04/2009. If he/she does not enter the game a fed days his/hers team will be a bot team. I lost the first game. If my rival wins the series while his/hers team was a bot team which team will promote? Is the bot team promote a non-owner team or my team promote because of the playing finals?

The team that wins the finals will promote. If that team is also a bot it will then demote, on the same day. If you lose the finals, you will have to have a good enough record and PD to bot-promote or you will stay where you are.

Well you should also consider that he is playing in Div.5, while your scouting was made for Div.4. I would assume that it's easier to get bot-promoted from div.5 to div.4 then it is from div.4 to div.3, because there tend to be more committed players in higher divisions.
After a bit of reasearch in Italy's div.5, for example, I've found that last season many teams were bot-promoted with a 19-3 record.

Absolutely correct. I made sure to say what division and country I scouted, and targeted my response at everyone. Just sharing some scouting reports and thoughts on the bot promotion process. I bot-promoted from USA V to IV with an 18-4 record following season 6.

Good clarification, thanks.

question:

in USA division 5 only about the first 50 leagues have humans, and the rest are completely bot filled (about 200 bots get first place in the other leagues). instead of the 200 bots in empty leagues promoting will the next 200 non-bot teams in the first 50 leagues move up instead?

Well, there are some humans playing in a few of those bot leagues...

But, the answer is, essentially, yes. The Bots will be promoted initially, then will be dropped back down with the bot cleanup. Other teams will then be promoted up.

Reason for humans playing in those divisions is that relegated teams will be split to all divisions in lower league. They then get a very comfortable way back to higher division obviously.

New teams are always placed in lowest league in the lowest division with human teams. Not sure it is the best way to solve it as a few leagues tends to be very strong while new teams in higher league numbers usually gets weaker opponents.
