I had a question. Why isn’t the best runner-up promoted when a club decides to leave a league in the higher divisions?
Because I was the best runner-up in Division 3 Nord-Pas-de-Calais with 34 points, yet it was jageebomb who were promoted with 28 points.
Thank you for your replies.

I think it’s the club’s long history that gives it the edge

Yes, it’s seniority

And what I find absurd is that a club can leave the league, then change its mind at the last minute...
