You stay where you are , others come up and the 7 players ( plus other 7's in other league ) go above you . So say your in league 12 for example .. You finish 8th which means you dont go "up" in leagues. Now, on the server there will be other level 12 leagues. For arguments sake let say there are 5 other level 12 leagues. That means 35 other people beside the seven in your own league = 42 extra player are now a league above you , so in turn will feed you players classed higher than you .
