Never know, people like RamQ, rhyminsimon, and myself have abandoned the D4

Oh well...someone in D4 could do the spreadsheet (PM simon) and could do the D4 calculations but it'll take a long time. especially if you know no algebra.

I know everyone is thinking about "whos doing the ranking this year" well, Ima do this since I'm curious of whos gonna be in III.11 next year, so I will be doing the annual Bot Promotion Standings tomorrow! Right when the standings update!

Hopefully I'll be on that bot ranking; where I line up on that will affect how I decide to play the finals and semi-finals.

I certainly agree that you do have some top heavy teams. Vorpals is clearly the team to beat and unless you have two Marvelous/Prodigious big men to defend them...it is a losing cause. I just had to play against a team that had a combined salary of $152k for it's PF/C combo. I have defenders of that caliber and it slowed them down just enough. Vorpals is very strong down low and I'm afraid 2-3 defense won't be enough to top them.

ITS THAT TIME AGAIN.

Season 25 has ended, and I know a lot of teams are wondering who can get bot-promoted. Even I do, since these players may come to invade my league (don't). Anyways, here's the Annual Top D4 Teams Rankings!

Currently, there are 2 bots in the NBBA [Airballers and Ambitious and Misunderstood]

Currently, there are 2 bots in Division 2 [Finger Rolls, Slam Jammers]

Currently, there are destined to be 2 league-staying bots in D3 [Loser of III.9 Relegation Series, OKC SuperSonics]

Yup, those stats are right. There are only 6 spots for Bot Promotion this season. So yea, you might wanna win your league...

Now here are the top D4 teams in the country! (Based on PD, Records, basically all the 21-1 and 22-0 teams in D4)

*There are 41 Teams Ranked
*I'm too lazy to do D3 lol D4 is hard work.

Sorry its late, but at least I got it done! Anyone care to see whos out already?

GOOD LUCK TO THE REMAINING TEAMS IN PLAYOFFS!

Barbaric Yawps should actually be 32nd on the list; they're 21-1.

IV.17 will have at least one team hoping for a bot spot, as will IV.6, because both leagues have placed 2 teams on the list.

All 41 teams passed through the first round. Will they all be so lucky tonight? And with two of the top 28 guaranteed to lose, should teams 29 through 41 be more worried?

South Georgia (17th: 21-1, 900 PD) has fallen in the 2nd round; as a result, it's possible that two teams from league 17 end up bot-promoting.

The Baltimore Crabs (33rd: 21-1, 715 PD) also lost, to How Dumb Are You, who we both missed when scanning the leagues; they should be 35th, at 21-1 and 693 PD. As a result, it's also possible (although unlikely, seeing as their only loss was to the team they just beat) to see 2 bot-promoting teams from league 36.

Fox Mustangs are down; they were 38th at 21-1 and 637 PD, but are 39th after the addition of How Dumb Are You.

IV.7's NoVa Stars (42nd: 21-1, 545 PD) also couldn't quite survive their conference final. They are in serious danger of failing to promote as a result.


Here's how things would shake out if nobody else on the list lost in their playoffs.

1) South Georgia Red Beavers (21-1, 900 PD)

2) Loser of IV.6 Finals (21-1, 777 or 750 PD)

3) Baltimore Crabs (21-1, 715 PD)

4) Fox Mustangs (21-1, 637 PD)

5) NoVa Stars (21-1, 545 PD)

6) Still up for grabs

I thought all bot teams got dumped automatically down to d5???
