I've always wondered how bot cleanup works at the higher divisions. A new user who happens to sign up at the right time can immediately take a higher division spot?


in german i would say "jein"(a mix betwen yes and no), the new teams join the last two league levels - and yes when both of then are filled a team could join with the right timing one league higher.

But i would say that could happen in very few countrys, because the last league is often a bot only thing.

PS: and this isn't connected to the bot cleanup, which switch the bots in the lowest possible divisions. To achieve that, teams with the best record(one division lower) who doesn't make the direct promotion get's their place.

If so, do they start out with the same lowly-type players as those of us starting out at the bottom division?


yes all newcomers have the same chanches while generating their team.

But the question is... how many teams that are bot are not in position to be relegated. It doesn't help those hoping for bot promotion if all the bots are going to be relegated anyway.

You may also want to check on Bots in DI (I don't think there are any) and DII... they will absolutely cause a bot promotion.

Simply - the question is how many bots are in the very next level (in this case III) after normal relegation/promotion and after bot promotion in all other higher levels (I and II in this case). That includes promoted bots (literally) which will relegate immediately during the same season update - cases that many forget about.

You can be lucky to inherit a dominant team and albeit getting generated lowly-type players you can promote - via bot claenup, via (surprisingly) winning play offs yourself*, or (and I'm not sure of this but it probably can happen) via inheriting a team that already won the title that year (few days gap to do so, relly a longshot).

Higher divisions? Depends on country, in some there are not many levels filled yet so the two lowest levels can be realtively high (up to I.1 of course).

*doable at low bot infested level, home court advantage helps, maybe even possible walkovers can help

BB-C,
Thanks for the info. I guess there's no chance of your team turning BOT for me in Div III :)
