There are already many complaints about this. There will be bot cleanup at the end of this season, as there was at the end of last season. Check out the Suggestions forum. There have been several promotion/demotion models proposed.

If just 1 team out of 16 can promote is going to make a lot of teams stuck in a division for ages.
Taking into account the number of bots we have in higher divisions this doesn´t help to hook many users.
In Spain First Division we already have 5 bots, meaning that al least one of them is going to continue next season in our group.


Those bots will be demoted regardless of the standings during the bot cleanup.

A change to the promotion/demotion policy is not necessary at this time.

if you have 2 teams promote that means you have to have 8 teams demote.. since we have a factor of 4 pyramid structure... reducing the factor to 2 or 3 would result in many more levels of the pyramid and thus make it harder to promote from the bottom to top again.

No, I did not say 2 teams promote in every division.

I said or meant 3 teams promote in every 2 divisions!! The winners of for example Division II.1 and II.2 and a single match between the runner-ups of those divisions who play for promoting. So every 4 divisions (II.1, II.2, II.3, II.4) we have 6 new teams promoting; and in the upper division (I.1) 6 teams are relegated (the 7th and 8th from both conferences and draws between the 5th and 6th, so it makes 6 teams demoted!!!

Or incorporate an inter-divisional playoff. Though for now the bots should provide enough extra promotion opportunities.
