Pinetar Progression

All regular season champions in all leagues will be promoted to the next level. 

All demotions will be enforced. A first or second level team that is demoted out of a league may not rejoin the same league the following year. However, third level managers who are demoted out of their progression will be allowed to apply for any open spots in another league at the same level, within that same progression. A manager who is demoted from the same level of a progression for two consecutive seasons will have to sit out from that progression for at least one MLB season.

Any unexpected open spots in the first and second tier will be filled by the next lowest tiered team that finished in the highest ranking non-promoted spot. The Pinetar Power Rankings will be used to determine which team moves up. As an example, if a manager in Odyssey can't continue next year then the 2nd place finisher in Hyperion and Calypso who finished with the highest power ranking would get the promotion. 

A manager that resigns a spot in a first or second tier league will not be eligible to return to the same tier or league in the event they return later. They must enter at the bottom level and work their way back up.

At no time may a manager play more than one team within the same progression. A manager may play an NL, AL and AU team, but may not play two NL teams for example, within the same progression. 

As Pinetar expands the progression model will have to be adjusted to accommodate new leagues. The Board reserves the right to make necessary adjustments before the start of each season. Changes to the progression model will not be made once play begins.
