If bot promotion is used I think there are quite a few teams ahead of you as far as regular season record + PD goes. There are 6x4=24 spots in D2 due to demotion and another 12 in order to fill D1 (a total of 36). Aside from the 16 league winners the other spots should go to teams with the follwing record: 3x 20-2 teams, 6x 19-3 teams, 6x 18-4 teams, 5x 17-5 (at PD 366). My checks might be incorrect but there are several more 17-5 teams anyway.

I hope I'm wrong and you go through, mate.

I'd argue otherwise. And for my own sake, I hope you're wrong.

But Marin's posts back up the notion that where applicable, Conference Winners get promoted followed by Bot Promotion. If there aren't enough spaces for all of the Conference Winners, then normal Bot Promotion takes place.

No mate, he clearly stated that the regime you described was not going to be applied to D4 after the first utopia season.

Edit: I must have miscalculated somewhere as I believe that 17-5 with 500+ PD, such as yourself, should have gone up on bot promotion (I had the threshold a little lower, but maybe I forgot other teams)

Well ok, this is strange. DIII.2 had this team (276396) who neither got to the finals not had a qualifying record (he was 15-7), but went on to DII nonetheless. Most 17-5 teams did not promote. This seems counter-intuitive considering these should be the 2 rules that have been used in the past.

I don't know if the schedule is being held back because they realised something went wrong with the promotions.

Perhaps Marin or a GM can confirm to you if this is the case.

Eh, that's my league and I have a better record than that team ¿Should I promote?
I guess I am not.

This is the part where I'm always confused. First rank means the team that went on to the Finals NOT the team that finished first in the regular season. Correct?

I don't remember:

promotion by "bot promotion" gave fan boost or not?
