Prom/Rel wildcard settings

harold · 05-20-2020, 05:43 AM

Hello all

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

I'm setting up a prom/rel league.
I want to have 3 teams promoted. Two automatic and a third spot decided based on a playoff b/t wildcard 3 & 4 spots.
Is this even possible?

What you want is a ladder system playoff and that's possible in ootp in 21. Set it up as a ladder playoff and #4 will play #3 and the winner plays #2 and the winner of that game plays #1. Easy Peasy. Now for the pro/rel you'll have to set it up for 4 teams to be promoted and manually move down the loser of the 3 vs 4 game after they all move up. Moving down manually won't cause any problems. You have to do it this way so you won't have any problems financially. I have my pro/rel league setup similar to this.
