Does anyone have any insight into what's going to happen? I read Bort's post but I'm too visual I guess...I was probably more confused than before I read it.
All the new/sold/gutted teams will be shuffled to the bottom, and all the remaining teams above them will be shuffled upwards. Just picture every team's average level, then reorganize them from top to bottom in numerical order, then dropped into leagues.
Actually, no, that's not what is going to happen. The teams are not going to be reorganized by level of players. (That was apparently one suggestion considered but rejected.)
The CPU teams will definitely be dropped to the bottom level. Some other teams identified as unable to compete will be as well (though there's not much said yet about how this will be defined), but no team will promote more than one level, and I believe the hierarchy is being maintained so that teams will only go to leagues above their current league (not to another league of the same level as the league above their current league).
