What an A T R O C I T Y... It's a joke that other teams (ex division D4) in lower divisions, reach a higher division... I mean, common sense.
Disrespectful in my opinion, you guys don't seem to appreciate the effort that most teams put into this the last season... I'm really impressed with the lack of judgement.
What a shame.
The old season each division was 12 teams, this season every division is 8 teams.
12x4 = 48
8x7 = 56
This means the teams that placed towards the bottom of D4 last season place at the bottom of Division 6 in this format.
Silence Eclipse finished 44th last season, being in division 7 is being between 49th and 56th. New teams came in that are strong and other teams around added players.
Feel free to post tables to move your team up a division though because this is only preliminaries, we don't have everyone's war histories if you can prove SE was seeded to low we'd be more than happy to change it, but we need the evidence.
Comparing division # with previous seasons makes no sense since there are fewer teams per division.
