Thanks Boggie. This is the first trophy for the current roster as it is, but given we're all 30 and under (for my starters), certainly hoping and planning that this isn't the last.

I'm excited for the race to the league title this season, gonna be quite open.

Nice one man! Hopefully I can challenge for some trophies in a few seasons too, after an eventual full rebuild

Gday Everyone,

Just a question, if I go 22-0 (Currently 19-0) but lose in the playoffs, will I automatically promote into ABBL?

Or do you have to win the Div 2 League title to guarantee promotion?

Cheers

Hi Apocalypse,

Given that there's two automatic demotions (8th in each conference) and three qualifier demotions (5 vs 7, 7 vs 5, 6 vs 6) from ABBL, that makes 5 teams that get demoted each season.

Given there's only four D2 winners, I'm almost certain that the highest placing finisher that doesn't win the title also gets promoted.

However, from memory, being promoted this way means you miss out on an attendance boost next season, as well as of course the prize money, so definitely best to still aim to win the league title.

Hi Mate,

Thanks for the reply. Yeah i am trying to win the league but thought i would just ask in case i do lose in the playoffs.

1.5 Million to win it, so it is in my best interest to do that!

Nah its different now. All promoting teams get the promotion money and boost to season ticket holders and attendance. Only difference is the winner gets the trophy.

Spot on. As people on here have mentioned, the 5th promotion spot goes to the team with the best W/L record across all four div 2 leagues. So that will be you.

Besides missing out on the trophy, however, you'll also miss out on the 'League Winner Bonus', which is around $150,000. That's just a bonus for winning the play-offs. However you do get the $1.5m of promotion bonus regardless. So overall, very minimal difference.

Sounds good! It will be nice to get back into the ABBL, managing finances and staying competitive in Div 2 is quite hard.

If i can get the win this tuesday, then i should be sweet in getting back in with the best record!
