Update, 9:08 AM ET:
The servers with the new league files (after promotion / demotion) are now starting back up. Within 30 minutes all servers should be running again and all new league files available for download!

Update:

Hey guys,

unfortunately, right at the time when the playoffs were about to end, our provider for the league file server had a technical issue, which resulted in the league files not being available. That was exceptionally bad timing, and we hope this will never happen again. It's good we're still in beta

Anyway, we are now preparing the promotion to the next level. The new league files will be available in an hour or two.

In the future, after playoffs have finished, you will be able to check out the file with the final results until two hours before the new season starts on Monday (so about until 8 AM ET). After that, the server will prepare the new leagues and the next league download will be the new one. We will add the ability to access finished leagues (in order to check stats etc.) in a future update or in OOTP 20, depending on how difficult this is. We'll keep you posted

Cheers,
Markus

Original post:

Hi everybody,

so, our first season will come to an end later tonight, that means the first round of promotion & relegation will start (at around 3 AM ET / midnight PT). Since all teams are still in the Rookie Leagues, there will be no teams relegated, and a greater number of teams than usual will be promoted.

So, tomorrow the top 16 teams per league, based on making the playoffs + winning PCT. Those 10 teams which made the playoffs get picked first, and then the best 6 (winning PCT) who missed the playoffs will join them.

In later season, the number of teams being promoted will shrink, and once we have a solid system with all levels filled, we'll have about 4 promotions and 4 demotions per league per season. At least that's the plan right now

OK, good luck for the playoffs!

By the way, things like the manager history, player career stats, player awards and player position ratings will carry over from one year to the next. Unless we screwed something up and the code is buggy, we'll find out tomorrow

Cheers,
Markus
