A friend of mine was 20-2 but lost in playoffs and he didn't get promoted. I guess there weren't many bots in the higher USA divisions when the league sweeper went through

Lots of teams with much better records than yours did not get promoted. Even teams that won their conference did not get promoted this time around. Check out my old series V.3 for examples of both kinds of teams.

OTOH, in scouting my new IV.44, I noted a team that started out at the end of last season in DIV (unlike most of us who started in DV) and did not relegate. So he gets to stay up with a totally crappy team.

I truly don't understand why this team was not allowed to go 'bot and be cleaned up at the end of the season to allow someone who has been playing for 2-3 seasons to promote.

Very bad for morale.

I'm truly sorry to hear that, Tutori.

That means the best strategy for quickly moving to D IV from D V is to quit ASAP after you learn you are in D V and reapply for a new team. If you are not in D IV, repeat until you are in D IV. If I had but known, that is what I would have done back in March.

All the hard work people put into promoting from D V, but being stuck in D IV while 'bots fill it up, is a bad joke that will come back to haunt BB's marketing efforts.

Promoting from DV to DIV takes about as much effort as it takes to finish the registration page...

That's a terrible idea. Your wasting time that you could use building your team for the future.

Enjoy the lack of league competition and flexibility it provides to focus on cup games and training.

In order to quit you need to not log in and allow your team to go bot. If you have an active team we will not accept your new teams registration.

I was quite happy starting in D5.
