64 places available in div1

Welp. Somebody who was translating those news made a huge mistake. Round of 64 =/= 1/64. Therefore only 32 slots in promotion/relegation into div1.
And since there will be 2x64 teams fighting for promotion into this league, one will need to be in final 16 of their div2 tournament to be promoted into div1.
Same principle (final 16/round of 16/ 1/8 of tournament/準準準決勝) would apply to lower division as well

Yup, that's how I read it as well.

Just got to not get 4th in the league portion, and I get to live to fight another day in Div 1.

Yeah I had incorrectly assumed bottom 2 were auto relegated but if it’s just bottom then that makes it an extra round required. Whilst Achmid has those at 2nd as maintain that flips if they knock off another groups top side which may happen given we’re in an early phase so groups are unlikely to be completely balanced yet.

I'm expecting tough competition in the knockouts of div 2. Will be challenge just to reach the knockouts, based on the first 3 rounds.

With the initial distribution, it makes for an interesting rebalancing over the next couple of seasons. Some opportunities for a few of our clubs to move up, hopefully.

Div 6 Cup 9
Yet to let in a goal this season

Well I’m out. 2 1 goal losses and 2 draws in which I could have won them all and should have won at least 1 of them which would have seen me through. Oh well. At least I can’t come last in the group.

Rotten season all round mate. Let’s hope it finishes better.

Will need to do a reassessment and see if I can tighten up tactically to create more scoring chances. Only way to beat rng is to put more chances up to give more dice rolls for goals. Disappointed to be out already and the way it happened this morning was pretty rubbish. Cup was my own fault thinking I could sneak one more round with trainees. League was stuffed at the start with a string of injuries and suspensions. Good thing is can entirely focus on training as there’s nothing else really left on the table.

Still supporting all the rest of you in the IC in your respective tournaments.

I'll need a lot to go my way if I'm going to finish top 2. Need a big GD win and the other result to go in my favour. Maybe I didn't set a line-up for my previous match, because a trainee snuck into the starting XI.

It will be interesting next season when these are official matches and we're juggling league and 2 cups.

If I can't win the league, I might go all out for the cups and hope others don't take it seriously.

Div 4 Cup 4
W4 L1 - equal top, 2nd on GD (6 pts clear of 3rd).
Bottom team to come & other game 1v3 is sneaky chance for a draw.

You can do this. Cream rises to the top, and Australia is full fat cream

Explains my early exit then :p

I'll finish top of my group in div 6. Then I expect some more competition in the knockouts.

Crews and Crampton are a handful for my div 6 opponents.

Quite possibly 2 of the best strikers in that division

4-0 win to finish the group. Unfortunately 3rd couldn’t uphold their end of the bargain & were thumped 0-7 so we miss top spot on GD.

Challenging match for you next up in the knockouts.

Feel for all of you btw.

Achmid drawing the current CC winner
Agbell drawing someone who also rates in the 80s
MM at least have a chance but might be difficult

The only side that looks to have had a kind draw for the next round from the top 4 divisions is GN.

At least I don’t think any of our sides relegated so that’s a plus although haven’t checked div5 and 6
