So, I'm 21-1 in Div 5 with a PF of 398 which is rather low. However, my division has no bots and I believe is one of the more premier division 5's (if there is such a thing). I am currently in a championship series with another team that seems to be clearly better then me and with that being said I lost my first matchup 104-88. I do not expect to win the championship series, so that is why I am here. My first question is: "When they look at which teams to add in bot clean up do they look at the competition in their league?" With that being said my second question is: "Do you think I will promote even if I lose the championship series?"

Thanks,
Hoopsstar

When they clean up the bots in div IV they will simply promote the teams in div V that did not win their championships and had the best regular season records. There are no other factors in play. It's hard to say how good your chance is. 21-1 is pretty good, but we would need an estimate of the number of bots in div IV

I would like to know if I will promote if I do not win the finals. My opponent and I have split the finals and it is down to the third game to decide who wins. How does promotion work?

Only the league champion is guaranteed promotion. After that it depends how many places become available after the bot cleanup and whether your record is good enough to take a bot spot.

My record is 21-1 with a PD of 754. Is that good enough?

Stop screwing around, in Lithuania D5 team promotes after winning their division since half of the d5 leagues are bots. Last year 18-4 team promoted even though it lost the league. In US.. all D5 with 21-1 should promote.. I don't know about 20-2 but 21-1 should do it.

Thanks for the reply. I will just wait a few more hours to find out if I will promote or not. The income from ticket sales is pretty good anyway.

There are usually a lot of bots in DIV USA. At 21-1 you'll promote.

Well, I won 103-102 with a ball steal in the last second. Wow! I guess I promote, right? I hope.
