Listen, it's certainly not a sure thing, but here' my thinking.

256 league champions in DV that are ahead of him. Fine.

64 DIV leagues, means 64 promotees. 4 teams in each league that demotes (8 place in each conference, plus the loser of each conference's relegation series), that's 256 right there. Combined for 320 open spots.

16 leagues in DIII, times four demotees in each league is lucky number 64 teams coming back to DIV. That leaves exactly ZERO spots left. Perfect wash.

BUT. In my experience in DIV, there are tons of bot teams. Heck, we had two in my DIII league. At least 25 teams are bots in DIV that do not fall into the relegatin series. This means DIV will need at least 25 team up from DV.

I think with his record, he's in the top 25.

No promotion. At least 256 teams ahead of you in bot promotion, have to either win your league playoffs or be the regular season conference champion to have any chance.

Ah true, he does have a shot, but he's not in the TOP 25. 256 Automatic winners then there's 256 team ahead of him that all one their side of their conference ahead of him too. That was my point. He might be Number 513 though.

here's a proposed challenge. Blow through your league with as little salary as you can. Not only will you have to manage your GS and enthusiasm well, but the reward is having far more cash than you would get with a incredibly loaded roster. You can always buff your team at the end of the season.

The team that beat you in the SF is getting crushed. And the first two teams in the other conference are better than yours. What makes you think you won't have a challenge next season?

He has no chance IMO. The only spots that bot cleanup will promote him to are the bots that didn't get relegated by finishing last or losing the series. Yes there was 1 of those in my league, but generally bots relegate because they lose, not because they won enough to be 5th or higher. He has zero chance so don't get the poor guys hopes up! lol

both of the teams in the final will be promoted. the team in the other division that is very good uses the same offense every game and I've never lost to him.

I like the idea. this definetly changed my mind on that big PF i was gonna buy. with my conference champion most likely getting promoted i wont need as good of an inside defense to beat him during the playoffs. I'm pretty good at keeping my game shape at strong-proficient but I've never messed around with enthusiasm. That's something I'll do next season.

i wouldent be so quick to not make your team better. Maby a couple of ok teams from D. IV might get relegated to your league and the more tournament games you win the more money you have. I would say the easiest way to make money in this game in to go deep in the USA tournament. There is a thousand ways to play this game and not one way has been proven to work all the time. Figure out the way you think is best and stick to it.
