As I was browsing the forums tonight, as I always do, I found a little tidbit that caught my eye. Below's a Cliff's Notes Summary:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, Thatto Heath

Post: http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=1307063
Team: http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=2882 (oddly enough, AA#2 Season 3 Alpha Champions)
Owner: http://goallineblitz.com/game/home.pl?user_id=33202

As you see, their owner has been inactive for over a month, and worse yet, many of their contracts expire on Season 5, Day 40. Their GMs don't have sign/cut power. Thus, they'll likely bite the dust if they can't get in touch with their owner to transfer team ownership.

Now, what's interesting here is that Thatto Heath doesn't have the tiebreaker over the Orlando Prime-Timers of AA#1. HOWEVER, if you win your scrimmage tomorrow, and Orlando loses theirs, you might be promoted if the situation above plays out, my friends.
------------------------------------------------------------

Now, Christchurch

I'm sure you guys are aware that Auckland in Oceania AAA#1 is in 14th, yet is CPU. Thus, there is one spot for Oceania AA#1 or AA#2 to use. Likewise, you guys fall just short of the AA#1 team in the tiebreak, so you guys will need to win your scrimmage and have Polynesian in AA#1 to lose theirs to earn a sure promotion.

HOWEVER, it gets dicey next. Even if you lose that tiebreak, look at Oceania Pro: http://goallineblitz.com/game/league.pl?league_id=17. The #6 team in Alpha, Rawle Tech, is now a CPU team and faces demotion. There's a 1 in 4 chance that they'll come down the ladder through AA#2. If this is the case, you all will earn promotion, even considering the tiebreak.
------------------------------------------------------------

It's a shade dull in here at the moment, I figured this would liven it up.

It is really impressive that there are so few CPU teams in Oceania that need to be demoted. If you look at Canada there are a ton in the pro level.

I noticed this myself. TONS of teams in USA and Canada that were sold back, and outside of the A-Leagues here, there were very few. Probably could count them on 2 hands.
