It's not just because we want them to get out of the way faster, there's a more nefarious reason...


When multiple top-heavy teams start running 90-10 win/loss records, that results in other divisional leaders being included in the weekly promotion sporting sub-.500 records. These teams are doomed to be torn up in the higher level and likely to be relegated the following week.


See the example below from one of my teams. The bottom 5 teams in the promotion list have a combined winning percentage of .500 or less due to the top-heavy four teams having a combined 317-112 record .739.


Promoting teams with sub .500 records ultimately will deflate any fun for those owners until weeks go by to thin out the Whales in the lower levels. Moving them up faster would resolve this issue and make it more competitive for everyone..


Thoughts?
I was trying to join much later to avoid any whales and the bulk promotions. But the perfect draft dragged me on. Good job OOTP development team.
