How many bot teams are there? I just took a quick look through D.III and it looks like there are 3 teams ahead of you that didn't win the championship, so if there are 4 spots you might get the (well deserved) step up.

Also shout out to Sofuegg for a great postseason run, within a quarter of going from a 12-10 regular season to a championship. Some nice strategic coaching decisions in the Finals to gamble with the PON in an elimination game in game 2, and then go zone in game 3 to help neutralize my team's shot HA/DR mismatches. In hindsight I'm pretty excited to watch my team come back from an 11-point deficit with 10 minutes left but that was way too close. Also another team/manager that deserves to move up to D.II in the near future.

Thanks for a fun season all around, and especially coachlambini for making it even better with the forum recaps! I for one enjoyed those.

You earned your promotion. and a great job by egg just to put themselves in the conversation. but a 11 point deficit being whiped out in the final 10 minutes, what a wonderful and heartbreaking way to end.

The Generals got the final spot, but I was sweating it to the end as I only got the win I needed ( rhinos rage over southpoint) thanks to a 4th period surge. i went ahead and stsrted wheeling and dealing in advance of this but if it had blown up in my face I would have been screwed financially. And i still might, my payroll is way too high, though it will adjust a bit. my lineup will have some stylistic holes and uneven depth, but i hope it will compete. my warchest is small so the arena is too small and i will have to literally max out prices. so lets see what happens.
