I know it's possible, but does it ever happen going from Div IV to Div III?
Also, if you promote via your regular season record instead of winning your league, do you get the same boost to ticket sales at the start of the season?

It does happen, a team from my conference did it last season (I was in d4 last season). Teams promoting this way do not get the same boost that championship winners get.

The way to figure it out is to:

- look for any bots in the NBBA and D2. When these relegate, they'll go all the way down to D5, opening up extra promotion slots for teams.

-look for bot teams in the 16 D3 leagues- when these teams are cleaned up, they can open a spot for an extra promotion into D3, but only if they aren't in a spot that relegates (so, no 8th place, or relegation series losers). It's probably a tad early to get a solid idea of this now.

Remember, to be in line for bot promotion, you must win your conference, and then it's decided by W-L and PD.

Finally, like w.alloy said, you don't get as much of a promotion bonus when you promote this way. You'll get the one time payment (300K in D3), and some of the attendance boost, but you won't get the big season ticket holder boost.

That's exactly what I needed to know.
+1 ball to you both.

You never want to promote through bot cleanup in my opinion because:
1. If you do not win your league your fans won't be as happy which can effect your economy.
2. You don't get promotion money.
3. In most cases that means that you aren't ready to promote if you can't win your league (Unless of course your in IV.10 or something)

Is getting promotion money through bot cleanup a new thing?I ask because from what i hear and understood you only got that if you won your league.
