Correct me if I'm wrong but only the teams that made the finals have a chance to promote at Div5, with the winner automatically, and a possiblity of the other team promoting.

Well I hope to win my league but no matter what I'll be away in the finals, which is always a disadvantage and it doesn't help that I'm in a very tough Div5. My question is say I lose in the finals. Do you think my overall squad could be one of the few other teams that promote?

Im not sure if you have to go to the finals in order to promote but I do know that regular season record plays a factor. Which means you would probably not promote because you only have 16 wins.

Chances of promotion are ususally good in the lowest league because of BOT cleanups. I have been in canada D.IV for 1 season and a half prior to this ne, and in both cases 4 teams ended up promotiong.

For what it's worth you can go back and look at what happened last season just by changing the drop down menu on your league page from Season 12 to Season 11. Doing so, it looks like only two teams promoted: the league champion and the best record in the other conference (which also happened to be the 2nd best record overall).

You're probably correct that the team with the best record in the other conference gets first dibs on bot promotion though: in http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/432/overview.aspx?seas... V.116 last season there were two promotions, the champion and the best record in the other conference, while the 2nd best regular season record overall, which belonged to a team in the champion's conference, didn't promote at all.

I wonder if anyone actually has a link to a conference that recently had three promotions? It may be that there just aren't enough bots for that to happen much anymore.
