The Promotion & Relegation League

Lead Story - 7/12/2019 League Chat Box   Must be in league to chat   Full chat log

5/15/2020 Opening Day for Season 4! Opening Day is upon us! We have two new owners in our league, eager to turn their franchises around and compete for promotion. The Dominican Republic has risen from D3 to D2 to D1 in consecutive years. Can they go from expansion team to World Series favorite so quickly? In their way stands Italy and Mexico, the 1-2 teams the past two years, poised for another run at the title, which they have split. D1 also hosts Mongolia, with the 3rd-most wins in league history, and the always-dangerous South Africa and New Zealand teams. In Division 2, former World Series champ Peru is eager to regain promotion into D1 after narrowly missing it last year. Newcomer Togo won D3 last year and is looking to prove their worth in the middle division. The competition should be tight with a strong Japan club and an up-and-coming Kazakhstan team. Division 3 was a very balanced division last year, with only 5 games separating the teams that weren't promoted. Most of our new owners are in this division, ready to ascend the league ladder. Let the games begin!

4/3/2020 All-Star Break The pandemic-plagued season 3 has reached its midpoint, and all three divisions have tight races. In Division 1, Italy and Mexico are once again leading the pack, tied atop the standings. Newly-promoted Dominican Republic is leading Division 2 and newly-relegated Kazakhstan, under new ownership, is setting the pace atop D3.

3/14/2020 Opening Day for Season 3! Like the rest of the sports world, the P & R League has felt the consequences of the Coronavirus. Opening Day was pushed back a day due to the Commish having an extremely busy work day trying to handle unforeseen situations due to the pandemic. However, league sources confirm the intent to continue on as scheduled. Season 3 is met with great anticipation after the first full season of three full divisions. Defending champ Italy is eager to get on the diamond, and so are their rivals in D1. D1 newcomers New Zealand and South Africa, after barely missing promotion after Season 1 are ready to show what they can do at the highest level. In D2, the Dominican Republic is the first expansion team to reach that level and should make for a competitive division. Meanwhile, some promising new ownership in D3 will make for a intriguing race to see who can earn promotion. We are all looking for a fantastic season as we all endure the Coronavirus and its effects. Let the games begin!
