Does it mean that even if a manager enables the switch in settings and there are bots or other switch-willing managers in the league, there's no guarantee that the switch will be performed? If there are e.g. 5 teams in a switch pool, might it happen that some will be switched and some not or even no team are switched?

Will it be possible to enable switch for every season rollover or will it be a one time thing (or e.g. a one in 5 seasons thing)?

Yes, if there as example 5 teams in the pool, one team has to stay in its division.

You can do this at every rollover, but you have to enable the switch again, since the switch gets disable at rollover no matter if your team was moved or not. I do not plan to limit this to a few seasons, I want to have this to be a regular feature

Btw, the work on this will start today, since right now no single Region has more than 32 teams in D2.x. This was possible since this night an Admiral D2.x team went bot and made the required room we need for this change. I hope to have this in place at next season rollover.


thanks pete and good luck, hope it works as planned!

OK, so it will be a straight 1-1 switch between two teams? Not a rotation like 1->2, 2->3, 3->1? Just out of curiosity, are you planing some advanced algorithm that real managers are switched with each other and then bots come into play if the number of managers is odd?

My 2nd question was regarding if you somehow plan to prevent division hoping.

There is no plan to reveal the math inside this division change, and there no plans to limit this feature beside the limits that were described already

Cool new feature Pete

I just don't understand the above, why can't all 5 teams change division?

A exchange spots with B
C exchange spots with D

No exchange partner left for E.

And no, I won't do something like A vs B, B vs C, C vs D and D vs E. It makes no sense to discuss this any further. Sorry.

Thanks Pete. I wasn't going to argue anything, just wanted clarification, which you just gave

Due to the latest news piece i just found this thread. I believe this is a very good development. In our Seazdevil region the second leagues have basically being bot leagues.

For the future I would reconsider the ideas about a 1-4-4-4 league structure. Your step should help the getting into a game. A tighter structure of the regions would help to keep the “elevator” type of good teams who rank 3rd to 10th of their current region. At least in our region we have had huge losses of those.
