I think the way promotion works is this. (95% sure).

Each team that wins their division is promoted to the division above.
Each team that came 8th is demoted to a random division below.
Each team that lost a relegation series is demoted.

Then bot cleanup takes place. Each bot team is dropped to the lowest level in the nation. This could include a bot team that just won their division and was promoted literally seconds ago. This creates more gaps. For each gap the computer then looks for the best team in the level below that has the best regular season record but didn't win the championship. That team is promoted.

So looking at the actual situation.

ILP

The Big 8 has
3rd place kings of bb inactive since 27/3 they will survive.
7th Purple Budhis bot lost relegation series.
8th amuliu bot automatically relegated.

The Great 8 has
3rd place hellkiller s 5 inactive since 27/3 they will survive. Nice symmetry.
7th AHMEDABAD XX bot lost relegation series.
8th Alien team bot automatically relegated.

So that means kings of bb and hellkiller s 5 will remain.

The teams promoting look to be:

II.1 The Cows or Mumbai Lakers.
II.2 Le Grand Cox
II.3 DECCEN CHARGERS - a new team how lucky, they have been logging in but haven't done much, someone should contact them. By the way great name for an IPL team - I hope they have a Kevin Pietersen.
II.4 anukuku - this is a bot team, so I think they will be promoted and then demoted so one extra team should get to go to the ILP, whoever has the best record and didn't win.

Best records: (The team with the best record that doesn't win a championship will also be promoted)
The_cows 22-0
Le Grand Cox 21-1
plateaus 20 -2 +705
Mumbai Lakers 20-2 +512

So if I was the plateaus I would be hoping for both The_cows and Le Grand Cox to win and then you *should* be promoted as well.

Actually change that, I think conference winners who didn't win the championship are promoted first so that would put the loser of The Cows or Mumbai Lakers next in line.

I now think this is the actual tie breaker order.

1) Regular season finish (1 to 8)
2) Regular season wins.
3) Point differential.
4) Points scored.

I don't promise that this is gospel but I think it is how it works. I will be interested to se if I am correct.

If you look at Div II.1, the Mumbai Indians have not logged in since 26/3. Div II.3 is a new signup whose name is 1234 which doesn't sound too promising. These two teams may promote, if they win the playoffs, and then go bot well after the cleanup. The two teams that are guaranteed to advance are The Cows and Le Grand Cox. Deccen Chargers will only promote if they win the playoffs, which seems likely. Mumbai Indians will promote either if they win the playoffs or if Deccen Chargers lose. If either team loses the playoffs, the plateaus advance.

18 years old and both for sale

Good news.

Tanay Dixit
Player History
Transfer 4/13/2011 15 Purchased from Free Agency for $ 350 000

Tanay Dixit (20055392)
Center
Owner: Ziemnice Cavaliers
Weekly salary: $ 3 767
Age: 18
Height: 6'11" / 211 cm
Potential: MVP
Game Shape: average

If they paid $350,000 for him we can be fairly sure they plan to train him. Should contact his new manager.

I don't hold out a lot of hope for Dhanvant Sur, horrid skills but someone may fall in love with his potential.

I've contacted the manager of DECCEN CHARGERS.
Hopefully he'll stick to the game...

Already sent mail for him...and yes hopefully some manager will buy him not a trader (Sur)

news about our hall of famers...one got to good manager that planed to a make SF out of him...I think thats good for India NT and good for the long time run. he will not be a star in the U21 team

I've contacted this number just now. Hopefully he'll reply and is willing to train him.

But if you're looking at such players why not Farooq Ishtaq (18250492)

Weekly salary: $ 4 189
Role: rotation player
(BuzzerBeta)

DMI: 27200
Age: 19
Height: 7'2" / 218 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: respectable

Jump Shot: average Jump Range: inept
Outside Def.: atrocious Handling: inept
Driving: atrocious Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: prominent ↑ Inside Def.: strong
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: awful

Experience: atrocious

Hmm he looks alright. But he's little behind for 19...and is almost turning 20.
I suggest that you train his RB and ID.
In my opinion, the training procedure should be...
2 weeks of RB
2 weeks of ID
1 week of IS
1 week of SB
and repeat this cycle for the next few seasons.
Btw I've never trained a big-man in my BB career, so if any of you have a better procedure, please do make a note. It'll help Jay_m and myself too :)

With the correct training, he should be able to make it into U-21 NT, but it'll be when he's 21 I'd think.

You've trained him well this season, too bad he is 19. If you got his ID up to sensational+ then he could be useful for the U21 team.

Definitely try to train an 18 year old next season :)

Here's my guy:
Kaliranjan "Ram Jam Salad" Selladurai

Age: 18
Height: 6'6" / 198 cm
Potential: allstar
Game Shape: strong

Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: inept
Outside Def.: proficient ↑ Handling: strong
Driving: awful Passing: awful
Inside Shot: mediocre Inside Def.: strong
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: inept Free Throw: mediocre

I'm pretty happy with the way he's progressing, he's actually my "worst" SF trainee. I bought a superior trainer last week ($16 000 salary for $215 000) so I expect plenty more pops next season.

He has a bunch of high sublevels (JR, PA, IS, ID, RB). He'll have 12 OD and 9 ID by Allstar break next season. I don't know the skills of the U21 players but hopefully he can earn a spot sometime next season.
