Yep, for a team like mine, with the #1 team likely promoting and another Division 1 team falling down to my conference, it makes it even less likely for me to make the playoffs next season also. A 17-win season might not be enough to make it next season.

During inter-conference play, the record of the top 5 teams in my conference was 37-3 against the Big 8.

It's been confirmed that I'm the best-record 5th-place team in Hong Kong history, I'd like to know if there are any 5th place teams with an even better record elsewhere worldwide.

You don't know what will happen next season. Last season, you were 3rd with 13 wins, the season before you were 2nd with 17 wins. Trends are not set.

This IC play record is not fair, why do you overlook your conf bottom teams ? Overall it's 44-20 and last season 39-25.
There are 3 bots in your league ! and 2 in your conference. Teams are relatively new for level D.II and your league is not mature, that's why it's outrageously unbalanced this season. With the recent huge boost in HK user base, expect a tough competition coming from D.III.

I sympathize though it is a tough result for you :(
I wish the best for next season :)

I tried once to convince the BBs (136516.189)

It didn't work as you can see!

I agree completely with this. I play in the same league boss did last season, and we have a very unbalanced situation.

The team behind me went 20-2 and is doomed to a fourth season in DV because he could not beat me. The third place team on my side of the league is better than the winner of the other conference. At one point, the fourth place team in my conference was 12-4. He was a new team, made all the right moves, but was looking at three better, older teams. So he quit in frustration. I hope he re-upped in another league, but have no way of knowing.

If the BBs don't think this issue is hurting The Game, they are much less savvy then I give them credit for.

I truly hope they are looking at all the unfair circumstances new players in the USA, and other large nations, face.

My league this season, in the games between the 2 conferences has have a 45-19 result.
The thing that is more strange is that last season in V division my previous league had a similar structure. And whats more, is something very very usual.
And, like someone said, is a situation that tends to take a long time to solve by itself.
I ask myself if it would be very difficult to make some type of classification of the teams in one category and once this is made the promoted and demoted teams should go to the leagues and conferences in order to make them equivalent in level.
Sometimes you are in a very unbalanced lague, and there is a monster team that has promoted. And after the reset you see that the slot of the promoted team has be taken for a supermegamonster team that has been demoted. And you say: come on!! in the other conference there are 2 new teams and both of them are very normal teams and the monster team has come again to the stacked conference.
