Sorry it had slipped my mind
I will sort it out this week
But no reason the 4 up 4 down wont apply, need to make sure I get it right though

4 up from div 3 to make div 2
4 up from div 4 to fill div 3
4 down from div 3 plus what is left in div 4 to make div 4
Bots from div 2 and the other bots to fill in at the end

Won't it be too harsh to have the 5th placed team relegating and replaced by 4th placed team in a lower division? Wouldn't 3 up, 2 down be better?

PS- no personal interest involved as I won't be finishing 5th.

I would think no team in Div 3 should relegate, and the standard 2 up from Div 4 into Div 3 when those 4 teams promote into Div 2.
You may also find issues with Div 4 for leagues that have more than 48 teams promoting (1-4) from Div 5.

As Chepu mentioned, hard on those finishing 5th in Div 3 relegating to Div 4 and below a team finishing 4th in Div 4.

yeah I do understand but I will need to check it out, mindful of it is what we said when we started YT20
Been a couple of glitches but it was the intention, if we change then I need to announce it very soon

You announced 4 up, 8 down for 3 seasons? Works to fill up a higher bot-full division, but not really between 2 divisions with teams.

Teams that are ranked 17th-20th this season (5th in a Div 3) will drop to Div 4, while teams ranked 33rd-48th (1st & 2nd in Div 4) will move up to Div 3 and all likely to move up to Div 2 the following season.

We did say that we meant 4 and 4, Summit was a bit newer to this side of the game and I didn't pick it up
And in the smaller nations 2 down will probably suffice and it can be different for those and the bigger nations
Just give me a chance to take a look and I will make an official announcement

No, calculation is the same so either their fielding was better or you were just unlucky

Sorry when i said better fielding I meant good fielding levels
Either way you need luck to pass every wicket check as well

For the record second to last game there was a drop at ball 6.6
and first game it was only 2 checks
