Hi all

Is there any automatism known to which league the fallen angels (the one who drop from JBBL to 2nd league, means probably me) are drop to? Let's say the worst team (by points or so) dropping will replace a climber from the easiest league, while the best team dropping will replace a climber from the strongest league. Or will it all happen randomly?...

Any idea? Thankx in advance for the info... あっりがとうごhさいます。。。

II.1 is very, very tough - as BBstAr is finding out this season. But even then, if you land in the Big 8 you're in with a shot (like BBstAr. Great 8? No matter what, it's going to be a hard climb. There are THREE teams in the G8 ranked in the top 14 in Japan in the G8, 4 inside the top 16 for II.1 overall.

I think you only get the 1mil bonus once (on your first promotion)...

IF you yo-yo up and down, you don't keep getting the 1mil.

Not true sir...in fact I have read some teams in small countries(without a good 2nd div.) make a run at the BB3 every 3rd season...drop for 1 and then come up and win either the cup or league in the second and then make a run for the BB3...it seems like a pretty good plan...I read that a guy sold his current team he had for 12 million and then went down...got the #1 draft pick and bought two other good youngsters and then saved money in a bot 2nd div....came back up and banked a million on top of the 19 he had saved....did the rent a beast to win the cup( he said the league would have cost him too much money)...sold the beast off and saved until the offseason...spent 18 million on 5 starters to go along with his three bought youngster..and had 7 million to help with the operating cost of having a 1.3 million a week roster....I read that he made it to the final 8 of the BB3 a couple of seasons ago..

The craziest thing is that you don't need the second year to qualify because you are a past winner..If you drop you would come back with the fresh million and you already have the golden ticket...
PS...I think 3A might have read the same thing...it looks like that is what he is doing.

It is random. So random.

If you drop to II.3 or II.4 you can have a team at the salary floor and still go 22-0. You can do all the difficult training for your trainees without any fear of losses even if you are playing your PGs as a C each week. If you spend $20k a week you can probably pick up 2 good draft picks and statistically should get the best player in the draft who you could sell for a million or more. Then you would get the $1,000,000 promotion money. Landing in one of these leagues is probably about a $4,000,000 gift.

If you land in II.2 you may need a half decent team with one or two stars, you may have to settle for the 2nd or 3rd best player in the draft. This is like a $2,000,000 gift.

If you land in II.1 you are in for pain. Right now there are at least 5 teams that would destroy you, although with your massive income this season you probably have millions in the bank. You will need them. You will need some radical roster updates and expect to be CTd on a regular basis by teams with low/mid-JBBL standard rosters. You will need to be lucky to get anything from the draft. You may be stuck here for half a dozen seasons unless you have a mountain of cash saved so hopefully you can make some friends.

Where you land is 100% random. Good luck!

I am seriously thinking about tanking and going down next season...Mootori will be 21 and Asano 22...the season after I can train OD and Passing for a whole season while I'm beating bots in 2.2,3,4 or chumps in 2.1...I'm sure with my 300K PG and Asano and Mootori almost finished with their bigs training, I could easily promote again even out of 2.1.
It almost sounds like fun..

Yeah...but I wouldn't be throwing the cup...I wouldn't drop him until the cup was over. And it really wouldn't be about collecting cash, it would be about geting Asano and Mootori about 10 weeks of OD and the rest passing. I also would get rid of Pires who is making about 200K a week. I was thinking about doing the cash collecting next season while I'm still in the JBBL and then go down there and hope to make about 250K a week. It's just a thought..I have never relegated so it could be fun..
