Sorry that i didn't comment earlier (my DSL got taken out by lightning. They are still "trying to fix the problem".) Thanks for doing this!
As for not asking to be moved up, I've always felt that teams should have to earn it. But then again, with our poor playoff history in mind, I probably should have done so.

I didn't think you could request to be moved up.......only down?

That might be the policy, but I know of a few teams over the past few seasons that asked to be moved up and were. Last season at least 3 teams out of my uncapped league were moved up upon request. What's the intrigue in having a team full of level 60s kicking the asses of team with level 40's players still on the roster. I'll get off my soap box now. I'm just a hater.

I hear ya,
A slow build squad I'm on was the same level as all the competition and team full of 60+ came in and won the championship.
I feel kind of bad about how stacked the London Revenge are in comparison with a majority of the teams in this league. We went 1-15 last season and had an ownership change. Several agents all brought high level players but we were more worried about getting demoted (because of our 1-15 record) than we were about being promoted. Recruiting went exceptionally well and we filled up our roster quickly getting people we knew from teams that were collapsing etc etc, it all just kind of fell in place.
Our goal is to get to AAA and make a run at the AAA championship with the end goal of playing in Western Europe Pro for Season 13, pretty much the final frontier for all of the Season 1 players.

I'm not going to feel sorry for having a great team, especially since we are still within the suggested levels for WEAA #1. We were 1-15 last year (and gave 100%), so we went out and rebuilt to make ourselves more competitive. Everybody else had the same oppurtunity. We were just very fortunate how everything seemed to fall together. I had the option to request a demotion and even emailed support saying I wanted to stay in AA and prove I belonged. Had I known you could request a promotion...I would have strongly considered it and propably put it to a team vote.
