Subject: Promotion rule

what is the promotion rule for the III team up to II team
is there any play-off
how many team in the III league can be promoted
please let me know

The best 4 teams that finish first in Division III auto-promote. The other 12 play qualifiers against teams determined by how badly the Div II team did compared to the other Div II teams playing a relegation match.

It's all in the rules, anyway :P

so that mean how many maximum teams in division III can be promoted

only the #1 person in each div 3 can promote. The top 25% of those have auto-promotion, the rest play a qualifier.

what is the rule of the qualifier

The 5 through 8 teams of the upper division are in jeopardy. As Barhilo said, the lowest 1/4 are automatically relegated (not necessarily the 8th place teams - points and goal differential are considered). The others all playoff against a 1st place team from the lower division.

These games again use points and goal differential to establish seeding. In theory, the strongest lower division side (the one with the most points / best goal differential) will play the weakest upper division side (lowest points / goal differential).

Just took a look - your squad is currently the top ranked III team. If the season were to end now, your team would exchange places with FC Stryke of division II.02.

FC Stryke were the bane of my existence. Stopped me from promoting to Div II >_>

Guess who replaced Rick Atkins as National team keeper? ;)

LoL, you dont want to be promoting to II.02

Heehee. Autopromotion very often puts you into the toughest upper division, as you are replacing the most smacked around team. :)

what is the advantage of promotion
i think the division II in NZ is not tough (for 4 table just 6-7 player team

You get more sponsorship money and supporters!

how is it?
im now have around 75k NZ$ per week and around 25 fans register per week
can promote give me a double (please help me because i want to make a long-term plan)
another question, please ^__^: are bot teams in league II stronger than in league III

how many bots in div II depend on what league you get into ;)

II.02 has the most human opponents and is easily the toughest. According the sokker stats...

Strongest leagues this season
41.0 Premier
30.1 League II.02
25.2 League II.04
22.9 League II.03
22.0 League II.01

thats the average mark of players

Bot teams are about the same in divII as they are in divIII i think. It depends if it is a team that used to have a human player but they give up playing. Like Wallingford Town in my League..they still win a few games.

I get around 170k from sponsors. and normally about 10-15 new fans a week, all depending on how the team performs

omg, its unfair for me because II.2 its a very tough table, if my team ends season as the best III team, it will replace the worst team in league II, thats really really unfair
