I'm trying to setup the promotion/relegation rules to prevent certain teams being promoted but faced some problem. I hope someone can give me any advice on it.
some background settings
higher division: Japan J3
lower division: Japan JFL, maximum two promotion spots, 1 direct promotion + 1 playoff place
As shown in the above screenshots, I have setup four teams as non-promoted in JFL and they are not allowed to play in the top playoff either.
The problem is that when none of the teams in JFL are allowed to be promoted the last team in J3 will still be relegated.
If I tried to change the "number of relegation places" in J3 to 0, it will fail the validation saying that the relegated teams from J3 does not match with the promoted teams from JFL.
