since we have series for promotion...why not series for demotion?

Y'kno instead of just dreading if that game at 0lop is going to be your last loss in that division, why not have a relegation series at that moment.

Could be a best of 3 where you have to win 1 of 3 games to stay in that division. (in sense of if you lose 2/3 you get demoted.)

Just a thought.

I've bounced between gold 1 and 2 so many god damn times, even though gold 1 is where i belong, its quite the headache.

I think that is a great idea, however it should be that they have to win 2/3 once they get to the 'demotion point'.

I'd rather that be shifted to match standard series rules, you have to win 2 out of 3 not just the 1. In the vast majority of instances if someone is being demoted its because they should be demoted, I don't see why they should only have to win a single game to not get demoted if they've reached the point that the system thinks they should be demoted.

Would you still want a series for demotion when the demotion was due to inactivity or decay? If so, would that series sit there as long as a promotion series? Wouldn't that allow for people to wrongfully delay a demotion they deserve (especially at the end of the season for rewards) by just delaying the series as long as possible then playing one game to reactivate it and delay it again?
