Can anybody explain exactly how this system works. I know that if I win the league playoffs I will move up a division. However, Ii saw that when they changed the format some teams can be promoted without winning the playoffs. How is this determined? Will those be the teams with the best regular season records that lost? Or do they have to make the league finals to be eligible? I'm just a little unclear on how this will work out.

With the new system, 5 teams will relegate from each league instead of 4. In your situation this means that 80 teams will relegate to d4 instead of 64. This means that you will have 16 'extra' promotions from d4 to d3. These 'extra' teams will be determined amongst the regular season conference winners that did not promote by winning their league. Of these, the ones that promote will be determined by wins, forfeits, point differential and points scored (I think it's in that order, but I'm not completely sure).
