The year end process will run financial update, which includes Botting, before year end processing activities.

Still doesn't address the massive problems in Div II. Small Town and Miyazaki will promote. Umi Says will promote.
If Small Town were in the Great 8 of II.1, it would be a struggle for him to even make the playoffs... and if he did - highly unlikely he makes the Final. Yet he will promote. Miyazaki and Umi Says wouldn't make top 5 in the Great 8 of II.1. Not even close. Yet they will promote.

It's unfortunate, and one of the difficulties of playing in a small nation - the talent pool in Div II whilst thin, all seems to be crammed into not only II.1, but into the Great 8 of II.1. The top 4 teams in all of Div II in Nippon are all in the Great 8 of II.1 - and Terry Bogard would go close to being top 5. Three of those teams (Sapporo, Shikoku & my NKRK) are ranked in the top 16 of the country anyway, and what's now probably the best team in Div II (Kyoto Shogun) is just outside the top 16 (guy just more than doubled his weekly salaries). Terry Bogard who came fifth in our conference would probably win any other Div II in Japan. Then in the Big 8, you have aisteru.4ever, 楽しい and baikinman - all of whom are around the same level as Terry Bogard.
It all needs a reset.

Maybe a good solution would be to have the DII leagues scrambled to spread the teams out. That probably would make the competion less fun but it would get the best teams up more quickly.

Any chance BB would agree to doing that? I'm sure we're not the only country struggling with this.

Has anyone responded to any of our questions or requests on this matter?

Yes.

I reported our situation to two BBs. One basically stated a reason that "it's nice to have a competitive league" - which basically means "tough luck on that". The other told me he'd look into it... and there should be a follow up on that soon. I also suggested we would be helped by having a GM in Japan (if asked who, gonna suggest YOU Taiyo!!!).

Hold a sec... you're making errors in who-plays-who Wolph.

FUJINAMI CAGERS and 血受儿 will automatically demote.
One of BBstAr or Isehara Pistons will demote - as they play each other. Kanazawa Kings play Kuzu High School, and Kings are on the way to going bot, Kuzu already is. 1liter will go bot too.

That's:
- FUJINAMI CAGERS
- 血受儿
- BBstAr/Isehara Pistons
- Kanazawa Kings
- Kuzu High School
- ☜❽1リットルの涙❽-

Will demote. Whoever wins from BBstAr/Isehara Pistons doesn't. Depending on how accurate Taiyo's call on when they bot is, then there will be 6 slots just as Taiyo said.

Yup - 7 B8 vs 6 G8 and vice versa.
It's right there on your league page: (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/1962/overview.aspx)...

I think that i won't need the bot promotion. I think that I have the 60-70% chances to promote. Yes, I lost in league, I played TIE in the Kyoto shogun field. Saturday i will play Normal in my court. It won't be easy, but i think that i will win
