Bu saying bot promotion rules he just means the best teams not to win heir league go up. and the teams they replace take their spot in a lower league. I don't see the confusion.
Anyone going up was a strong team in the league. So replacing them with a other strong team will not alter things hugely imo.

Teams who go 22-0 usually are in leagues with tanking teams, bots and managers who are not competing at all. So in my opinion it means that the second best teams from shitty leagues will go up. It doesn't say anything about the relative strength of teams with best records (i.e. a 18-4 team from one league may actually be a stronger than a 22-0 team from another league). In England bot promoted teams are typically taken from weak and non-competitive leagues

Just to be sure : bot promotion is based on win/losses ratio ONLY ? am i right ?

Because i got confused with last year promotion from D4 to D3 in utopia where it was supposed to be "bot promotion" criteria but conference leader (regular season) were promoted in the end.

Thx

Should be W/L and then Point Differential. S28 in Utopia used bot promotion rules as well.

This thread has suddenly become a super long discussion about the new promotion system. I don't have the time to read all that so, if you want answers, ask a concise and direct question, and I'll answer.

The extra spots in promotion for higher leagues will be league winners and the the other spots are going to the team will best record who lost their final?

He already said they will use bot promotion mate, so after the finals winners for each league they'll use regular season record and PD.

I suspect this is also to accommodate for the fact that Utopia is not a perfect pyramid. D4 does not tie in with D3. When all leagues are filled he numbers of league winners in D4 could be higher than the spots avaliable from demoting D3 teams. Promoting D4 teams will have 96 spots instead of 64, having only 64 could create a significant problem if the D4 leagues were actually more than 64.

Can u confirm that promotion will be based on :
- league champions (PO champions)
- best W/L ratios (without any condition on playing the Finals or finishing at the 1st place in the regular season or anything)

Thx

Seriously guys, how many times are you going to ask the same thing?
League champions plus best W/L ratio teams will promote at the end of the season.
