I'm pretty confident I can win my league even though I threw the first game for training purposes. I currently own a player that plays U21 and have one 19yr old I'm training for U21. All three of my trainees need ID training next season but if I promote I'm not sure I'll be able to train out of position and not get demoted right back down. I've been to III once but I was tanking and I'm not sure if my team is good enough to stay up there. My guards should do fine up there but I have 2 big men who would get destroyed by some of the teams up there. If I don't promote and stay in IV I can easily train all three of my trainees and promote next season with ease. I've been destroying my league this year I went 20-2 this season and my first lost was the first game of the season and I threw the second game I lost. What should I do?

My belief is that is always better to promote, even if you demote right back down. Be sure to raise your ticket prices a decent amount if you do promote so you get the benefits of the promotion bonus and then invest in the draft a lot if you are outmatched in the next upper league.

Never refuse a promotion. Even if you get demoted, you should earn a big amount of money with the promotion bonus and the attendance boost. ;)

Thanks for the advice. I'll be trying to promote even if I get demoted right back down. Probably going to have to buy a big if I promote.

http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/85553014/boxscore.aspx I lost anyway because of bad managing on my part and bad luck. I ran 3-2 and guessed inside because I thought he was going to play LI or Rng. He hit a game winning shot in OT to beat me and my best player fouled in the 4th with 5 minutes to go. I was debating between Ptb, II and LI but I went with LI since it OP but it didn't work out so well for me. I shouldn't of thrown the first game either. Good game but him though and his team was better than mine that day.
