My guess is that it wouldn't. The primary reason behind the finals revenue thing is that forcing a third game meant additional revenue without any additional salary charges. In the relegation series, if a third game is forced it'll be on a new week with new salary charged, so there doesn't seem to be much of an incentive for forcing an extra game unless the salaries are less than the half a game's gate revenue would be.

My thought is that it probably would be best to just have the two games have revenue and salaries, and then the teams involved in relegation series pay no salary and draw no revenue if it goes to a third game.

Probably quite a suitable thred to ask this question so saves me creating a new one.

If there are bot players in the higher division to be replaced, in who goes up? The runner up of the final or does it go by the regular season standings? Thanks

And related to that, how common are bot promotions from D4 to D3? I won my conference but won't win the finals, and I was expecting #2 on the other side to promote, if anyone. Do I need to pack my bags?

This season's going to be odd since teams in II that went bot have been replaced by new users, so there are going to be fewer promotions to III available that way. Basically, the number of bot promotions from 4 to 3 will be the number of bots in I and II at the time relegation is processed, plus the number of bots in 3 that don't relegate otherwise. Usually someone goes through in the USA forum and counts those up, but I would expect that this season promotion to III may be pretty difficult to get without winning a title.

How could this happen? I thought new teams always start at the lowest level for a given nation, is this incorrect?

That was certainly the case and my reaction was pretty much the same as yours. At some point this season, it changed so new users were given the option to sign up for a higher, medium, or lower level league, though they can't be put into I if a lower option exists. The new users are "encouraged' not to choose the higher level option, though I don't know how precisely that was done since I haven't attempted to sign up for a team recently.
