yeah your system could work, but i like it more if you made active leagues at the end of the season, which could be easily done with a knapsack algorythm(i think a greedy algorithm don't kill the server even if they ahd to work a bit longer).

In this case their a many bot who promote and their we could combine it your idea and let people of the higher leagues get downswing when people in lower leagues exist, who could promote.

If my system had always been used, there would not be any isolated teams, except in unusual circumstances, such as when a lot of new owners join in a burst, and then there is a slow decline in teams for a country. In cases like this, after 5 or 6 weeks, many of the new signups will have stopped logging in, and you will have leagues with just a few active teams.

But that might be better addressed by adding new owners into leagues with the fewest active teams. So if a league was down to 4 active teams, 12 new owners could be added at once, where they should be more or less competitive with the other new owners. This would be better than adding a 16th team into 12 leagues, where the new team may end up losing regularly to veteran teams.

But that happen in BB several times, one time with the travia action, then with the banner at hattrick and again with the news that they are in the exchange programm with ht.

This can be better be handled by how new teams are added. When there is a burst of new owners, you can simply fill as many leagues are needed. Then in the slow periods you can be more selective. Even in the slow periods, BB is adding lots of owners - but are losing a lot more. They might add 50 new owners, while losing 100 owners. Right now they try to maintain IV.1 with 16 owners. In fact, if IV.1 loses an owner during the bot'ification on Monday morning, the team will often have a new owner that same day. Meanwhile IV.40 may be losing owners for weeks, before BB gets around to replacing them, perhaps during the next signup burst.

But instead, you could add teams to the leagues that have the most openings. You might have periods where leagues have around 12 active teams, some with more, some with less. But that is better than having the same number of teams, but with some in leagues with 16 active teams, and others in leagues with 2 or 3 teams.

I have to make a proposal to solve the problem:

1. Each team going to have a team of reserves to fill up the seats in the lower leagues.
2. They could not climb division because were excluded from the play off.
3. The worst team of reserves was replaced by each new team set up at every stage.
4. The reserve team which had been forced to surrender the sports society could choose to sell their players to new owners.
5. The players were sold for an average price fixed for each division and was known by all
6. the new bot were filled by teams that have not yet had reservations
