If I understand correctly we will have 16*6=96 demotion from Division III and only 64 play-off champion in Division IV. This means 32 extra promotions for those teams with the best standings.

Unfortunately my own team with 18-4 wins-losses won't make the cut so I'll have to win my play-off games tonight and the next few as well. However I was interested to see where the line was. Since 64 leagues is too much for manual work I tried pulling the data through the BB Api and I think I got it correct.

I'm sharing the ranking here in case your team is one of the teams up for automatic promotion or close to the line.

If your team is top 32 you are in. If your team is somewhere between 33 and 96 it will depend on whether teams below you (like mine) win their play-offs. For every team under place 96 that promotes there will be one team less in this top 96 that makes the promotion.

I might need some edits to get the table formatting right.

Please let me know if I got any of the logic around promotion wrong.

And here is the top32 in case people want to track which of those is winning their play-offs and also how they compared against all the other Division IV top performers.

Great job, thank you for your work

Congrats to the teams that won their championship and those that are already in.

Now that a lot of the games are over we can already see where a lot of the wildcards are going. The following teams that did not win a championship are already in:

70 IV.56 Mojave Dust Devils

While these 9 teams are still uncertain, because there are still 9 teams above them who are wrapping up their game 3.

79 IV.49 A.B.C.
81 IV.38 BC Snake Reunion

The 9 unknown spots still competing for a championship at 00:00 when I ran the check are:

5 IV.29 Birds Academy
7 IV.19 Iron Blooded Vampires
16 IV.64 ZetBud Kołobrzeg
17 IV.25 Korean S. Fighters
25 IV.52 BASKETS Koblenz II
26 IV.16 Samantha Basket Utopica
44 IV.19 vadencourteam
46 IV.51 MLK Dreamers
80 IV.28 Monte Cristo Ghosts

Most of these are guaranteed a wildcard spot if they lose. Except for #80 Monte Cristo who would need the others to all win.

NB: I do not account for bots being removed from higher divisions if they are not in the demotion spots. This is purely the 32 highest wildcards.

Last one wrapping up the next morning as the last games are played.
