Not that I doubted Niko, but I can just confirm this, we where well over 150pts over the limit to be promoted to Bronze 1 from Bronze 3, but we where only promoted to Bronze 2.
yes, that's what I 'm saying.
Even if you gathered the points to promote from Br.3 to Br.1,
first you 'll go to Br.2 and next season to Br.3
One season, one level.
Maybe in the start of the season, you already have the points to promote to next lv without playing a single tournament.
Making a brake or renew the group.
But here comes the penalty of -20% of points in every season.
With that way, an abandoned FA group, season after season will end to Bronze 3 again.
