Sorry if I missed it, but what's the rule on promotions during season? Just stay in current tier and assume all teams will roughly promote at the same rate? Also will there be a limit to how many teams play in each tier?
Currently the admins view is: If you are BSG level and promoted to Platinum you will be immediately promoted tiers
Say, for example mGG had a BSG team and P/D team - the transition would be simple, move into the new team.
However, if mGG did not have a P/D team - at the beginning of the season a 'Sister' team would be selected - either by agreement between teams (say TA doesn't have BSG, the few BSG TA players might play with mGG and when mGG promote to P/D they join the TA P/D team) or Admins of the leagues will select a 'sister' team for you. Equally, will players move down if demoted (however I feel this can be by request - if you wish to stay up a tier that should be okay).
This ruling will be in-place for the bottom three tiers.
