Good points. I wasn't trying to roast you or anything, just that I haven't seen such movement on the last day of the season very often.

I wrote a simple script to pull the top teams within a division in an effort to determine the pecking order for bot promotion. It was more useful while in D IV because then the top 16 non-promoting teams promoted, while in D III it's only the top 4.

However, with Chronic Pain's early exit, I thought it might be useful to run. There are 13 conference winners with 2 or fewer losses in D III, and III.10 has 2 of them. Currently 2 of the teams are eliminated and I've highlighted them in bold.

-------Div-------W------L----PD-----Team
1.___III.13___22___0___808___Footpath_ Leapers
2.___III.3____22___0___750___BucsBlue Lob City
3.___III.2____21___1___641___Rashmonsters
4.___III.4____21___1___608___Florida Champs
5.__III.13__21__1___553__New York Dragons
6.___III.16___20___2___796___Streetlight Nightmare
7.___III.6____20___2___794___Cyborgs
8.___III.1____20___2___610___Drunken Sconnies
9.___III.10___20___2___606___Rockford
10.__III.12___20___2___513___Swamp Things
11._III.10__20__2___486__Chronic pain
12.__III.5____20___2___467___Burger Chefs
13.__III.15___20___2___405___Fighting Kelts

If 7 of the top 10 teams make and win the finals, then Chronic Pain still might end up promoting to D II even with the early playoff loss.

Quick update, all of the remaining 2 or fewer loss teams advanced to the finals, so Chronic Pain remains #2 in bot promotion order right now.

The 5 teams ahead of them with the toughest matchups in their respective finals (strictly by record) are:

III.6 - Cyborgs. Opponent's record is 19-3
III.12 - Swamp Things. Opponent's record is 19-3
III.4 - Florida Champs. Opponent's record is 18-4
III.3 - BucsBlue Lob City. Opponent's record is 16-6
III.10 - Rockford. Opponent's record is 16-6

Congratulations to Rockford on winning and on Chronic Pain on their bot promotion. Best of luck to both of you in D II.

Thanks for this info btw. Glad to see Chronic out of the Great 8, gives the rest of a better chance to promote in S45!
