Did i get it properly in the news given today by Marin that the conference rank wont actually be taken into account and that the promotion criteria are simply :
- the league champion
- then Win/Losses ratio accross all leagues

Is it right ? It means that teams iin very competitive leagues have a lower chace to promote...

If this is right, it would be great to have a ranking of all utopian teams implemented based on the win/losses in order to get a view of ones probability to promote or not.

Thx in advance

I was sure that it already worked like that in other countries.

You never saw me say how it works ? I say quite often though.

In every country, it's conference ranking first, then W/L ratio, then point-average.

For Utopia, it's not clear yet.

I did. But, maybe because I found it stupid that a 19-3 third placed team would not be promoted over a 14-8 second placed one, I always persuaded myself that you might be wrong

OK, I guess it's time we clear this up. Promotion will work like this:
1. Conference champions (teams that reach the league finals) automatically promote (circa 80 leagues * 2 = 160 teams)
2. this leaves 256 - circa 160 = circa 96 spots to be filled by these criteria (in order)
- conference rank
- wins
- forfeits
- point difference
- points made

This means, in practice, that a the top ranked, non-conference champion teams are all mixed up together and the top ranked ones will be promoted. This, of course, means that some leagues may have only 2 promoting teams, other ones may have 4 or 5 or even more promoting teams!

However, we still reserve the right to change this if we think of a better promotion strategy, but basically this is the option which is probably going to be used.

Thanks for the answer Marin.

Can I suggest you another idea ?
Most of us can't play Cup & league this first year but don't you think that Cup winner or finalists may have the opportunity of promoting ?

Best regards
