Last season top 4 from Alpha went to AAA. I am assuming top 4 from Zeta did as well. I figure if all the threatened ragequitting is real, even more may promote this season, but who knows.

Just wondering what you guys were thinking/figuring for who gets promoted?

Starts up top in Pro's, depends how many they need to pull from AAA to fill up the pro's. Then I'm sure some AAA teams will go CPU etc.. So I'd say at least 3 teams from each conference probably more

I doubt it, don't forget there are 4 AA leagues to pull from for 2 AAA leagues.

Not this season. Both the even number AA leagues are 100% CPU. Thus, it is really AA1 > AAA1 and AA3 > AAA2.

You got a point there.
It looks like the team I DC here (Guam Tigers) and my own team in AA #3 could both possibly promote to AAA, and neither of them is really prepared level-wise.

I hear ya on the level. My team has an average level of ~ 50, especially when we dump our Mentors. However, consider that if alot of us get promoted, we will be playing each other. Also, the best teams from AAA are getting promoted as well (plus some older guys are getting worse). In the end, most of us probably will not be championship contenders, but I think we will do fine if we gameplan well. I'd rather a 10 win season that is hard earned, then just having a handful of good games, like was the case this season.

True enough.
Imo. AA #3 had a few more competitive games than AA #1, but neither was competitive top to bottom and both had playoff teams that in fully competitive seasons would not have made the playoffs.

Although there could be some accidental sellbacks, right now there are 7 CPU teams in OPL Two of the bottom 4 are non-CPUs which should be demoted, so that is 9 spots for promotions. That is either 4 or 5 teams promoted from O AAA 1.

There are 4 CPUs outside of the bottom 4 in O AAA 1. So that would be 8 teams promoted to replace the CPUs and bottom 4 in OAAA1, and 2 teams to replaced the extra promotions. Thus, I figure the top 5 from each conference are probably going up, unless there is some sort of region consolidations or some of the CPUs are mistakes.

I know of 1 or 2 in OPL that are requesting to be demoted to rebuild also, so possibly more.
That means my AA team should be a top 1-2 fav for the AA #3 crown in S16
