Not the decision to promote more players but the actually action, yes.

Interesting. This is my experience. I came in at last year with 1/3 of the season to go and we finished last in div III.

Of course we got relegated but to a league that has no other human players......

Was this a one-time only endeavor, or will it be repeated next season?

Last year (at the end of the Season 2) was a one-time only endeavor. But it worked so well and was useful it has been repeated.

I think eventually, in the upper levels it won't matter too much since bots will be rare. I think in the lowest divisions it will provide lots of extra promotion opportunities. For example, in the USA about 20 of the D.IV leagues are full, so there could be around 40 bots that promote from the rest of the D.IV leagues. They will instantly be relegated and replaced by extra teams from the active leagues. This is one way of recognizing that the bottom division might not really form part of a 1:4 pyramid.

I have also suggested that the extra promotions made be more visible. I think that there could be a lot of frustration with only 1 in 16 teams promoting, especially following a good regular season and an upset in the playoffs.

For the forseeable future this is going to happen on a seasonal basis.

Unless you're in the top or bottom division, you have 5 out of 16 teams being new in any given season.

In the top division, it's 4 of 16, and bottom divisions get a bottleneck.

One of the goals of the BBs are to build rivalries, and have a bit of staticity (yeah, a new word) in the leagues, while having SOME change.

That's one of the reasons two of your TV games are against the same team.

Yes the fact that winning or losing TV games has a bigger effect on your fan base then normal games.
