Today - Promotion & Relegation!

Markus Heinsohn · 03-25-2019, 04:44 AM

UPDATE: 7 AM ET, promotion / relegation is complete, all leagues are online. Man, our new servers & architecture are super fast!

OK guys, as we had announced earlier, today we'll have the first promotion round. Unlike last year, this time we will populate the first three levels (Iron, Bronze, Silver) depending on team performance in the Entry Pool. The top 15% (winning %) will go to silver, the next 35% to bronze and the remaining 50%, plus teams with 30 games or less in the Entry Pool, will go to the Iron level.

Servers will start creating the leagues on 6:10 AM ET, and they should all be back up for download within two hours!

Good luck everybody for season one in PT 20, this is a huge day for us!

Cheers,
Markus

Yaaaay, I was hoping for a 33/33/33 split, but that looks suspiciously like both my teams go to scrap metal level then (but I can't check right now)! Our rally shall be the more furious!

Thanks for this, this was one of my main gripes from 19.

Is this still valid for entry pool going forward ? Teams with best records start at higher levels, or are all teams created from now on will all start at the same level out of entry pool ?

I am hyped and ready.

Guess I missed the breakdown before. I wanted all my teams to start in Iron. But I have one in silver and bronze!!! UGH! Guessing there is no way to start over correct?

No, why would you?

Most of my best cards got inactivated and now have to be on the reserve roster for 14 days!! Booooo... ???

Simulations are done within seconds now, not 3 minutes! And also I don't get that error where box scores won't load within the first 20 mins, or when I get kicked out when downloading a simulation. Good job.

I personally want to thank you for the rework of the overall ratings. A lot of players I thought were good actually had their ratings increased to reflect their true performance.

Thanks!

Yeah, the new server architecture we invented for OOTP 20 (and move to OOTP 19 PT next week) is a real beast. Works like a charme
