Too Many Teams In Pro Tier

Just noticed this, we currently have 17 teams in the Pro tier in my league

Not sure exactly which team is the 'excess' one, but my best guess is this team, as they weren't active in the last race, and are in the bottom area of the table.

Can someone take a look at this please before our season 11 starts tomorrow night.

I thought a league could only show more than 16 teams (in a 2 car league) when one of the "active" teams had no drivers or something? Do all the teams have drivers? I've seen some leagues showing up with like 21/16 before but 5 of the teams had no staff or drivers and had been inactive for 100+ days.

has no drivers

This is not new.

This happens at every season end. It sorts itself out before the new season starts. It shows the promoted teams in addition to the 16 original

No, we STILL have 17 teams in Pro tier, wasn't counting the teams promoted/demoted.

everyone has been moved now, yet still we have a 17th in Pro.

Yeah, as I said..



and with that, as Gary said, one of your teams has no drivers.

not anymore, booted em to make sure we had the correct numbers again.

its done by cars, not teams, so 32 cars can still be 32 teams in a 2 car league, i believe, i think,  if i remember correctly, ive raced with 20 teams before in 2 car leagues. But im definetely no expert.

We have none :)

Alin - is that a bug or is it expected?

It's not a bug, no one can get there. League host disabled promotion and relegation, don't know why. It's like the train station from Matrix. :)

What do you mean you don't know why? We only have 11 teams in Elite and 10 teams in Rookies, so even if promotions was on it would do nothing.

We had promotions on last season, and no one from Elite got relegated because we only had 14 teams, and the two teams from rookies who got promoted left the league because they don't want to race only themselves in pro.

It makes no sense to have promotions on unless enough people join the league straight into the Pro tier so we have promotions and relegations happening in every tier every season. Even if we had 16 Elite and 16 Rookie teams, at the end of the season we would have 14, 4 and 14 and the 4 Pro teams would probably leave again because they have no chance of being promoted.

tl;dr - Pro needs to have more entries before it's worth turning promotions back on otherwise we will lose more people than we gain.
