That i agree with

You are not understanding the distinction between divisions and leagues

Canada currently has 139 active teams, or enough to fill 8.69 leagues. That is 1.1, the 4 leagues in D.II and most of 4 leagues in D.III (III.1, III.2, III.3, and III.4). There are no active teams in D.IV.

BB has disabled pro/rel between divisions that are totally inactive. This was specifically confirmed by the BB when I started playing. In the USA, pro/rel is disabled between D.IV and D.V. In Canada it is disabled between D.III and D.IV.

But between divisions with at least some active teams pro/rel is executed just like normal, even if it means, as in your case that a team is relegated to an all-bot league in D.III.

As a special note, when a bot is promoted from D.III to D.II (by winning their league championship) they are immediately relegated as part of the bot cleanup. For example, the bot (25084) that won III.13 in Season 2 and replaced your team was immediately dropped in III.3 where they were given a new owner.

Well guess I feel better knowing that with only 8.69 filled leagues, it's ok that my entire division (III.7) are bots.

BB has been adding a lot of teams over the past couple of weeks (ever since Hattrick started listing them on their Partners page) so it is possible that you could get some human teams this season.

BB could also adjust the pro/rel scheme some to that it is less likely that active teams don't get relegated into leagues with all bots.

Speaking of Hattrick, I'm seriously considering quitting it. Since I got in All Canadian I completely lost my drive. I didn't even bother changing my lineup yet and we're half way through season almost ;)

This is more entertaining for me

It goes in cycles I think. I'm not as interested in HT as I had been before, but so be it. You've achieved a fair bit there by getting to All-Canadian.
