It's Desert Dog's choice to promote or not. I'm staying below the salary floor, I have 6 18 yo trainees I'm playing and the rest of my roster has no one higher than 70 tsp currently. In season 41 when in another D4 league I promoted with a roster like I do now. Little did I know what awaited me in D3 and obviously relegated after 1 season there. In season 43 I tanked the finals just so I wouldn't promote as I had 6 18 yo trainees back then too. I was trying to finish my arena and buy arena upgrades as well. Now that I have my arena finished, 4 million dollar infrastructure, level 3 gym, and level 2 training court. I'm ready to start over and try and promote when my current trainees are entering their age 21 season. So you are stuck with me for another 3 to 4 seasons haha
