Is Promotion/Relegation Not Working?

[progen]

Probably because I'm a huge soccer fan, I like the promotion/relegation piece in European soccer(football), so I thought I'd play as the Red Ducks Waasa in the Finnish league.

I've been tracking the final standings for two seasons now, and it doesn't appear that the promotion/relegation system is working? The top league is Liiga, then Mestis, and then Suomi-Sarja, which my Red Ducks are in. I'm not seeing any movement amongst the teams at the bottom, and those that finish first and second?

IIRC, there are relegation battles between the last teams in the top league and the top teams in the lower leagues, so perhaps those battles were all won by the higher teams

This is cool. I didn't know that there were hockey leagues that had relegation and promotion systems. Then again I'm only minimally familiar with the leagues outside of N. America, so it would be easy to surprise me....

As an aside, can you imagine if we had promotion and relegation in the USA? I personally would love it but there is absolutely zero chance of that ever happening. I cannot imagine someone paying hundreds of millions for a franchise only to have that franchise be "relegated" to, say, the AHL...
