Hi, I read the rules for promotion and as being third currently in the 4th league my only chance is to win the play-off series. That is not likely as this is my first season and 2 teams in my conference looks great and have much more experience. I see that in my country there is lot of teams in the higher league (3rd league) which are managed by computer.

My question is: What happens at the end of the season with those (computer managed) teams? Are they going to be deleted and open some more space for promotion from lower leagues?

Thank you,
Z

yes, but it should be very much of this teams, who don't regulate regulary that a fourth placed team promote through bot cleanup

I read some other posts regarding the same topic.
It is looking like nobody know for sure what is the rule - just speculations and own experiences in the past.
In my country, in the 3rd league there are currently 68 bot teams (managed by computer) and also some other are not active for about month.
I am in 4th league and fighting hard for better score because I hope for some openning for promotion for 2nd and 3rd team in my division.

It would be good to know what is the criteria for final decisioin - like table for all 4th league teams where you can see what is your chance to fill the bot in the higher leagues or any other rule that we know what is our goal.

It depends on how many teams was assigned to the lowest level. For example in countries where numebr of active users fluctuates around 336 managers, there is a big chance that all fourth divison teams will get promoted via bot clean up (albeit the worse of them won't play in national tournament).
