And its not gonna get much better. I have 700k in the bank right now, but I can't really use it to my advantage. All the bowlers out there are too expensive, or not good enough.

To stop my promotion I am just gonna lose one game and then drop the playoff game.

Especially with the into of the first class games, I am really gonna suffer.

At first I had decided that I wouldn't drop it, and keep my self from promotion to keep up with PPers but then I decided that would be really stupid of me.

I am gonna stay in Div IV and rack up more members and have about 2 mil with some superb and strong players, then go into Div III prepared. Plus, this is only my first season and gettting promoted right away is quite something, IMO.

So, who else may follow my path? Or who is gonna get promoted?

[MCMLXXXII]

I am going to stick with promotion. I have talked to a couple of people who are in Div III and they tell me it is not so bad. Half of the teams are bots and those people's teams were not much better than mine. Looking at your team, I would even say that you could finish 3rd or even 2nd in div III next season. I don't see the value of staying in Div IV. All my teams are crap, 5-6 of them are bots and I have been winning games with so much ease that I don't get tested much and I do horrible in the friendlies. I need to discover the capabilities of my players. So what if I am not top next season? I will at least be in a more competitive place.

[iZeeshan]

You make a valid point, but MCM, I have looked at squads of people at 5 or 6 in Div III and they are miles ahead of mine! I think its a lot better to stick around on Div IV for another season and rack up so much more! I mean, I have trouble beating Big Daddy and Kamran, how am I supposed to fare against Div III teams?

Winning all your games will give you a ton of more members and money. That way you can expand your team further and be completely ready when Div III comes around.


Finish 2nd or 3rd? Please...

[Sean]

How can you drop promotion? If you get promoted, you get promoted.

[Hari Sombar]

How can you drop promotion? If you get promoted, you get promoted.


You choose to TIE and lose games on purpouse to avoid promotion

I myself will be looking to get promotion, I am having it very easy in div V and I think I belong is div IV

[Hari Sombar]

I think I am a bit behind PP'ers and I think i could well finish in the top 4 in div IV

[Sean]

Then you lose members, and you get less money because not as many people are going to your games.

If you can't win on TIE, then you shouldn't be promoted. Because you'll get thumped.

I think someone was deciding to TIE on their play off to stay in the dicision .... I can't remember who is was though

[iZeeshan]

Well, I really don't wanna get promoted. I really don't think I will do well in Div III with the current squad I have. I will be dropping promotion.

Looks like I'll be off up in all porbability now.
