Some very good teams in that lot!

i'm pretty sure my league will go down straight to the wire (III.08) when i travel to FGR's place with him leading by 3 points assuming no hiccups along the way...

I feel this is totally unfair. There is a race from some of us a-leaguers to get back into II as well ;)

Me and FCM will both be there in this season or the next I'll bet :p

I'm not going to let FCM win the II title more often than me!

I beat you both to div II 2 seasons ago :P

how many teams get auto promoted? Im going to try and get as many goals as possible in the run up.

From the rules:

League competitions

The league system in each country is divided into divisions, comprising a number of teams dependent on the level of the division. At the top level, there is always one league - the most important and prestigious for the given country. Each lower division consists of 4 times more leagues than the division directly above it, and so:

Division 1: 1 league,
Division 2: 4 leagues,
Division 3: 16 leagues,
Division 4: 64 leagues,
etc.

Each league has 8 teams playing each team twice, giving 14 matches over the course of the season. The points are assigned as they are in real life leagues; so for a win, the team gets 3 points and for a draw, the team gets 1 point. The order in the table is determined based on the following (from the most important downwards):
- points
- goal difference
- number of goals for
- position in the league at the end of last season

At the end of the season, the winner of the league from the top division becomes the champion of the country.

Promotion & Relegation

The best 25% of league winners from lower leagues will promote without having to play a qualifier match. This also means that the worst 25% of teams (ranked by points, goal difference, number of goals, and position in the league at the end of last season as described above) will be relegated automatically. This means that the 8th place team is not always the one to be automatically relegated. The winners of the remaining leagues play in play-offs with the remaining teams placed 5th to 8th.

Play-off pairs are determined on the point and goal difference basis with the weakest teams from the higher leagues playing against the strongest contender. In the event of a draw, the teams play extra time or eventually penalties. The match is played on the stadium of the team from the higher league.

so only 4 teams from divIII go up aoutomatically, that menas my only chance is for one of the top four to slip up and lose and me score 5+ goals a game... :(

Yep only four go up automatically, but you could try and get a qualification match.

lol... better than even trying to get a promotion spot... i would be really happy with that, given the level of competition my league is giving me (namely FGR)

Closest I got to losing this season was a 1-0 with a fair few juniors playing for half a game.

Don't be disappointed with a qualification game, bit of extra income there.

I would not mind a qualification match as Aussie Striker pointed out income AND if im not ready put in some downie side and I don't care what others think its up to me and me only unless theres money involved from others =]

actually, i would be happy with a qualification match, seeing how FGR is topping my league atm.

Week 11 update, it's heating up...

nice I went up a spot over FGR... is there any chance we can get a look at who will be playing who in the wualifiers as per current standings? if its not too much to ask :)

Yeah it's possible, but it's going to change incredibly quickly over the next 3 rounds. I'll see what I can come up with.
