Can anyone tell me the difference between the Big 8 vs Great 8?

Or is it as simple as pos. 1-8 = Big 8 and pos. 9-16 = Great 8?

Two conferences within a league.

OK. Could you please explain "conference"? Is that just a grouping? And can you go from one conference to another within one season?

They're just two sets of teams.

In the regular season, you play every team in your conference twice home&away, and every team in the opposite conference once (4 at home, 4 away). You start and end with 7 conference games, with the 8 games against the opposite conference in the middle.

All 22 games count in the standings, but you are ranked 1-8 within your own conference. The top 4 in each conference enter the playoffs, with the playoff winner promoting. The 8th place team from both conferences relegate, and the 6th and 7th place teams from opposite conferences playoff, with the loser relegating.

There is also an all-star game at midseason with teams representing the two conferences playing against each other.

If you are in the finals. you promote. You don't have to win it. Both me and the other finalist got promoted.. and we are in the same conference now.

Only the winner promotes. Because the BBs did a bot cleanup, many teams were promoted this season who did not win their finals match.

BB did a bot cleanup after they did the regular promotion. The other team from your league was probably selected based on their 19-3 regular season record.

In my league, in D.IV, 5 or 6 teams were promoted.
