Warrior General Games

The way yesterdays games shook out, we know know half of who will make up the World League next season. If you recall...it's make the playoffs, or face demotion.

All four Africa Pro representatives (Doinitin Djibouti, Nairobi Warthogs, Windhoek White Rhinos, and Lake Opeta Legionnaires) will be returning to APL next season (presumably, anyhow) leaving only the two conference champions to represent APL in the World League next season. USA Pro was the only region to retain all four original teams, but will also be impacted the most once player decline begins next season.

How do the demotion rules differ for the World League?

The World League is a "make the playoffs or go home" league. At the end of the season, the bottom 8 teams from each conference will be sent back down to the Pro league they came from, and replaced with the conference champions from each Pro league.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What if a conference champion becomes CPU or empties their roster?

The next best eligible team from that region's Pro League will be promoted instead.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What if one region sends down more than two teams at the end of the season?

We will remove CPU teams first, to allow room for them. If there are not enough CPU teams, additional teams will be demoted from the Pro league to AAA, and on down the line from AAA to AA, and/or AA to Minor Leagues. There are usually enough CPU teams along the way down to make up for the extra demotions, and once we reach those CPUs, extra demotions will stop.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Will teams end up in the same conference when they are sent back down?

We will try our best to put the teams back in the same conference. Sometimes, however, there may be instances where that is impossible, so a team may have to switch conferences.
