Common wisdom has always been that promoting Blue teams preferentially go up and down into Blue conferences and Red into Red (provided that there are enough spots for them). Last season I have been the only Blue conference team to promote from D2 to D1 this season and there were 2 Blue and 2 Red relegating. I have landed into the Red conference while 2 former Red teams landed in the Blue one.

Was common wisdom wrong all along and dictated by chance more that actual rules or has something been changed?

For the record I think I might have benefited from this, so this is not a complaint, more like trying to figure out if we were wrong before or something really has been changed.

first time I heard it from was from Athrunzala several seasons ago and he's a Mod or GM. Most top managers in England thought this was the case. This is easier to see in promotion from D2 to D1 as there are fewer spots and I've not seen a deviation from the 'common wisdom' until this season, therefore the question. I think most people are convinced that you promote in your colour unless the slots are too few, so it would be nice to know if this was wrong all along or something changed. Perhaps this is not a bug, but I didn't know where to post the question, so please feel free to relocate to the appropriate section.

I've only ever stayed in the same conference once, and that was with my latest promo to DII.
Every other time I've switched conferences.

Yup, I don't think there's such a preference. It's probably just random.
