I dont remember them either. Did you already read them?

1) the team winning the finals goes up
2) the 2 teams winning their conference (unless promoted under point 1) will be compared to all the other conference winners from others D3. The tie-breakers are:
2.a) best W-L record
2.b) best point differential
2.c) most point scored (not sure about this one)
3) the 2 teams coming second in their conference (unless promoted under point 1) will be pooled together with 2nd teams from other D3 leagues. The tiebreakers are the same as per rule 2)

There are 4x6=24 teams demoting from D2 (before accounting for bots who are not going to be in a relegation position in D2 and bots in D1).

Therefore there will be 16 D3 teams who go up through method 1) and 8 teams who go up though method 2). Potentially you could have more method 2) or even method 3) coming into play if there are D2 bots who are not in a relegating position at the end of the season or D1 bots.

What this mean for our league is: Folgado Lakers will promote irrespective of what happens in the playoffs unless Surental Lakers overtakes him (but that's unlikely give the PD) in which case Surental Lakers will go up under point 2) above with a 21-1 record. The left right outs and Busan flyers have a chance, if they win all or nearly all their remaining games (there are several conference leaders elsewhere with a 13-3 record, so 18-4 and maybe even 17-5 might be enough to squeeze through.

Everybody else will have to win the finals.

Thank you for the info. I see that the easiest solution is to promote directly. haha

Congratulations on your win in the B3 btw. Also to Thabo91.

Thank you :)

Thank you. It was a pity to loose Gorzel because of an injury. I think I had great chances to move into QF and SF if I had him. But now I ll be defeated by Mordor 100% sure.

Nice POffs ahead. I wish no injuries for all the contestants.

Lets enjoy them!

Good thing that Trikster managed to log in after the games update took place and before this morning's opening match, so he was able to play with normal attitude.
Would be a shame if otherwise and would ruin the whole playoffs atmosphere.
Good luck to all teams competing.

yeah I would have been mad as hell if I couldn't ;)

Good luck for the final. Today I had a tough game against a very good team with higher salaries than mine (like you), but patience worked well and now it is time to think about how to face the final.

I think you should just concede and submit a blank lineup :D
