In light of the News on the changes to promotion/demotion for Utopia leagues, can we have some clarification as to who is going to promote with certainty every season in Utopia? It seems like 6 teams are demoting for higher level leagues (7th and 8th from both conferences and 2 of the 5th and 6th seeded teams). This means an extra .5 slot for each lower division (at least for D3 and above, less for ).

Is it going to use bot promotion rules? Some kind of new mechanic combining being runner up + regular season ranking?

I dont understand the reference to Bots.

My understanding is that instead of 4 active teams being demoted from a league their will instead be 6 active teams demoted. (4 of these will be auto demoted & 2 will be the losers of relegation series)

The teams that go up will be active teams that have either won their lower league or have one of the best win loss records of the lower division but who have failed to win their leagues championship.

No bots going up and no bots going down (unless one of the 6 teams to be demoted has become a bot through normal circumstances during that season and has finished 7th or 8th in their conference (auto relegation) and or 5th or 6th in their conference and then has lost a relegation series)
